Today, an unscheduled traveling exhibition was organized at B. Momyshuly Secondary School No. 22 in our city at the request of the school administration. Additionally, as part of the “Dara Zhol” segment, a discussion was held with Rakhia Suleimenkyzy Zhuzbayeva, an honored cultural figure of Kazakhstan, an experienced specialist who has dedicated many years to the “Aziret Sultan” National Museum-Reserve, a disciple of the distinguished Kazakh figure O. Zhanibekov, the first tour guide of our museum-reserve.
Students and teachers had the opportunity to ask the esteemed guest various questions and engage in an open and sincere conversation.
One of the key and relevant topics raised by President K.K. Tokayev in the National Kurultai meetings and interviews is the promotion of national values. In this regard, a unique historical figure who holds a special place in the cultural and spiritual development of our people is the great sage Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. His enduring legacy, which encourages humanity toward knowledge, perseverance, wisdom, and integrity, is of great importance in society. “Only by consistently promoting such noble values that strengthen our people’s spiritual potential and lead us to success can we become a high-quality nation,” the President has emphasized.
During the exhibition-lecture on the topics “The Legacy of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi” and “The History of Turkestan,” students and teachers gained valuable insights into the ancient city’s history and Yasawi’s heritage. They also learned about the unique artifacts preserved in our museum-reserve.
The traveling exhibition featured household items and jewelry used by the local population, a konek (traditional leather vessel), a saptayak (wooden drinking bowl), a shygyr (ceramic vessel), and irrigation pipes from the 19th century used in Turkestan. Witnessing these rare artifacts up close, the students could not hide their amazement. They felt as if they had embarked on a historical journey into the city’s past and entered a world of legends.
Additionally, the exhibition showcased visual aids such as the four stages of spiritual perfection in Yasawi’s teachings, a map of the regions where Yasawi’s doctrine spread, and the topographic map of the ancient Sherbay burial site, which was once part of the city.
At the end of the event, school principal A. Poshanova presented an honorary certificate and a token of appreciation to R. Zhuzbayeva on behalf of the teaching staff.
