Yessenov Lectures: Courage To Be The First

Albert Einstein said that example isn’t another way to teach, it is the only way to teach. This is the very principle the project Yessenov Lectures is based on. This is an extracurricular activity that aims to give students an access to additional knowledge sources and necessary information to empower their personal growth.

Courage to be the first lectures will discuss how to lay the foundation for personal and professional growth by leading a healthy lifestyle.  The lectures will be delivered by Valikhan Ten, an expert in the field of healthy lifestyle, master of sports, champion of Asian, bronze medalist of the World and European Championships, multiple champion of Kazakhstan in powerlifting and bodybuilding and an author of books on healthy eating and fitness.

During these lectures, representatives of the Foundation will talk about the organisation’s activities and programs, including the Summer internship program in the laboratories of the United States, as well as its special edition of a manual named Guidelines on admission to Ph.D and internships at laboratories of international universities. The value of the publication is in its recommendations from both recognised experts and participants of the program, which are tailored to address the demand by the present-day students. The manual is in the public domain and is free of charge.

Any effective training is made up of integrated approach and application of various technologies. In its classical sense, training includes such elements as theory, practice, self-study and examination. The Shakhmardan Yessenov Science and Education Foundation is introducing another element – guest lectures – as part of the present-day education at the universities of Kazakhstan. This format aims to create a coherent system of guest lectures and master classes, which are held on a case-to-case basis at the moment.

Furthermore, the new program is designed to encourage the students by acquainting them with lecturers as role-models, because these are successful and professional individuals with unrivalled experience and knowledge in their fields. Thus, the program presents a unique opportunity for students to learn firsthand from entrepreneurs and experts in business, science and public administration about latest developments in science and business, networking, opportunities to visit the best international universities, expanding their horizons and view of the world, and enhancing one’s self-perception.

Guest lectures delivered by representatives of various industry companies will give students a better understanding of the modern labour market’s requirements, the chance to assess their potential and ways for further improvement.

The Foundation, in collaboration with Cambridge University professors, has already carried out guest lectures at the country’s leading universities such as Satpayev National Technical and Al-Farabi National universities.  Moreover, as a direct result of these lectures, our Kazakhstani specialists were able to join the Cambridge researchers’ team.

Students will also become familiar with the Summer internships program offered by the Yessenov Foundation, which gives the opportunity to spend summer at the laboratories of American universities.  Subjects of these internships also include majors interesting for medical students.
