KAFU Students Volunteered as Translators at the «Shygys Salburyny» International Festival

From October 8 to 11, 2025, students from the 6B01703 “Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages” and 6B02401 “Translation Studies” programs at the Kazakh-American Free University participated in the fifth «Shygys Salburyny» International Festival as volunteer translators.

Thanks to their professionalism, participants and guests from other countries were able to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of the festival’s events, learn about the history and traditions of the Kazakh people, and experience an atmosphere of unity and hospitality. The volunteers accompanied foreign guests to yurts, explained the meaning of ancient rituals, talked about national dishes, crafts, and musical instruments, and assisted journalists in preparing materials. The students’ work contributed to an atmosphere of openness and cultural exchange, making the festival a shining example of international cooperation and mutual understanding.
