LESSON-EXCURSION IN THE MUSEUM. FOR SCHOOLCHILDREN ABOUT ELECTIONS

The employees of the Library of Elbasy told the students of the capital school-gymnasium No. 58 about the history of the electoral system in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Archival documents, photographs and video materials about the history of Independent Kazakhstan, widely presented in the expositions of the Elbasy Library Museum on the right bank of the capital, helped students to learn the new material.   

Unique evidence of the country's development are authentic objects and photographs kept in the collection of the Elbasy Library Museum, in the historical building where the residence of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev was located from 1997 to 2004.

Today, the Museum of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the main attractions of Nur-Sultan. Lessons are held in halls that have preserved the atmosphere of the working days of those years. The office of the President, the reception room and the meeting rooms where the summit meetings were held are presented in their original form.   

On the basis of photographs, digitized archival documents, schoolchildren today learned about primaries, how the country’s electoral system was built, what world experience they relied on, as well as about the peculiarities of the election campaigns that took place in different years in Kazakhstan, in general, about the process of the country's formation as a modern democratic state.

Active interaction with the participants of the lesson is a distinctive feature of the educational activities of the Library of Elbasy. Creativity, exchange of opinions allow you to deeply reveal the topic of the lesson and consolidate their key messages.

  "The lesson was conducted in a playful way, which helps children to easily and quickly learn the material. The topic, the electoral system, is complicated, but it is at such classes in the museum through the illustration of photos and videos that information can be presented in an accessible language. I noticed that during the lesson, the children listened attentively to each other, tried to formulate their thoughts briefly and succinctly," shared Gulbanu Seiten, a teacher of the gymnasium school No. 58.
