The activities of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan are aimed at the development and implementation of state policy to ensure public harmony and national unity.

The Assembly of the Peoples of Kazakhstan was established on March 1, 1995 as the Assembly of the Peoples of Kazakhstan and renamed in 2007 as the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. Since the leadership and people of Kazakhstan lived according to the main idea of “Mangilik el – bir el – bir tagdir”. And the fact that we are one people and one destiny is reflected in the renaming of the Assembly.

It should be noted that according to the constitutional reform of 2007, the Assembly was endowed with constitutional status and received the right to delegate its representatives to the Mazhilis of the Parliament of Kazakhstan according to the established quota.

The issues of friendship of peoples and their peaceful residence on the same territory in some countries are now particularly acute and today the members of the Assembly bear a great responsibility, since in their competence, according to the Law “On the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan”, activities in the main areas are strengthening peace, ensuring socio–political stability, preventing any discrimination against citizens of Kazakhstan.

The purpose of the Assembly is to ensure social harmony and national unity in the Republic of Kazakhstan based on Kazakhstani patriotism, civil and spiritual and cultural community of the ethnic groups of Kazakhstan with the consolidating role of the Kazakh people.

Friendship Houses are operating in all cities of Kazakhstan, and the Palace of Peace and Accord is in the capital, which hosts annual sessions of the APK, congresses of traditional world religions and other important and significant events.

The most important thing for us teachers is the formation of a sense of pride for our country among young people, respect for the history, culture and traditions of their people, as well as the development of civic responsibility and active citizenship. In this direction, we, the teachers of the Academy, try to carry out our work along with the educational process.
