Certificate Award Ceremony Held for Silver University Participants at Kozybayev University

Kozybayev University hosted a certificate award ceremony for participants of the Silver University program.

The project is designed for older adults and aims to create opportunities for lifelong learning, active aging, and social self-realization. Participants can choose from a wide range of courses covering digital literacy, foreign languages, health and legal issues, as well as creative development.

In 2025, Kozybayev University became a member of the Kazakhstan Association of Silver Universities and signed a memorandum of cooperation with the International Association of Universities of the Third Age (AIUTA). This opened up new opportunities for experience exchange and participation in various educational initiatives.

Currently, the Silver University program at our institution includes seven courses. Classes are held twice a week. During the spring semester, three groups completed training in Yoga, Travel Journalism, and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Approximately 35 participants took part in these courses.

As part of the activities of the Kazakhstan Association of Silver Universities, four of our participants will attend the Summer School in Zerenda this June.

It is worth noting that this is already the second intake of Silver University participants at Kozybayev University. The first cohort completed the program during the autumn semester, with 27 graduates successfully finishing their studies.

Enrollment in the Silver University program is ongoing. Those interested can ознакомиться with the list of available courses on the university website and submit an application to the Institute of Continuing Education (Building 10, Room 514). The program is open to university employees, retirees, and residents of the city aged 50 and above.
