How we started...

How we create the idea of Map of Astana

​

•The idea of the project is the outcome of the weekly lessons devoted to the understanding of the  Global citizenship education.

​

•Each lesson highlights the vital points for achieving for Sustainable Development Goals.

​

​

•We used project-based learning to contribute to the better understanding of the GCED concept and opportunities we can address  to improve  human needs.

​

​

​

 

•One of our GCED training lesson was devoted to Interconnectedness and Interdependency. 

​

Name the system you are presenting

​

  • What is your role in this system

  • ​

  • Write your feelings

  •  

  • Write positive influence  of this system on you

  •  

  • Write negative influence of this system on you

  •  

  • What actions can you take to improve they system?

  •  

  • What actions can we utilize to improve the system?

 

​

​

•During this lesson our international students noticed that Astana is modern and beautiful city, however tourists and newcomers do not have a Touristic Map to explore the city.

​

•We called to publication agencies to clarify the information about the existence of the tourist map of Astana.  All 4 big agencies gave negative replies.  So we started to create a map.

. 

At the begging when we started yhe project our aim was:

  • to attract tourists to visit Astana,

  • to establish comfortable travel of visitors in tourist destinations,

  • demonstrating active citizenship in promoting peaceful community 

  • When we presented the project to the local community, we understood the importance of our project and submitted the letter to the Government where we offered our map as a volunteered project for EXPO-ASTANA, 2017.  

  • After 2 days we got the positive reply from Government company EXPO-ASTANA and we started our collaboration with EXPO.

  • We also submitted our project for the Kazakhstan UNESCO Social projects competition and WON the 1st place in the republic. 

  • On May 2017 we submitted our project for UNESCO Asia-Pacific "Education for International Understanding" and won the "Best case practice award". UNESCO APCEIU published a monograph devoted to our social experience. This monograph you may see on our Resources page
