Unity is the source of prosperity”: values of harmony and ideas of sustainable development were promoted in the minds of youth

On April 27, 2026, a meaningful round table titled “Unity is the source of prosperity” was held at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The event took place at 16:00 in Room 321 and was conducted at a high level with the active participation of master’s students.

The event was organized under the supervision of Professor Khadzhieva Lelya Azretovna from the Department of Mathematical and Computer Modeling.

The main purpose of the event was to promote the values of unity, cooperation, and harmony among young people, to strengthen mutual understanding and agreement in society, and to shape students’ civic and patriotic views. In addition, the key principles of sustainable development were widely discussed during the event.

The content of the round table was linked to several important areas within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely:

• SDG 4 – Quality Education: The event contributed to the development of students’ critical thinking and helped them gain a deeper understanding of social values. Participants discussed the importance of applying knowledge not only theoretically but also in real life.

During the round table, master’s students highlighted the importance of unity in society and shared meaningful thoughts on the role of mutual respect and understanding in a multicultural environment. The discussion was held in an open dialogue format, allowing each participant to freely express their opinion.

In her speech, Professor Khadzhieva Lelya Azretovna noted:
“Unity is the backbone of the nation and the key value that preserves the integrity of society. Young people must consciously adopt this principle and follow it in their daily lives.”

The meaningful event fully achieved its objectives and encouraged deep reflection among participants. By combining the ideas of unity and agreement with sustainable development goals, this round table had a positive impact on students’ spiritual growth, increased their civic responsibility, and fostered a conscious acceptance of modern values.
