ENU Silver University, jointly with the Department of Political Science of the Faculty of International Relations and the Institute of Lifelong Education, successfully conducted the course «National Security of the Republic of Kazakhstan» in the Kazakh language from June 1 to June 5, 2026.

The course lecturer, Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science, Bibigul Bulegenova, introduced participants to the key directions of ensuring the national security of the Republic of Kazakhstan, modern challenges and threats, and highlighted current issues of democratic security in the country in a clear and accessible manner.

The informative lectures, enriched with relevant examples and practical case studies, generated considerable interest among the participants. Special attention was drawn to the final field session held outdoors in a creative format, which not only helped consolidate the knowledge gained during the course but also strengthened friendly ties among the participants.

The training enabled participants to broaden their understanding of national security issues, contemporary socio-political processes, and the country's development priorities. The course also served as a platform for lively communication, exchange of views, and active discussions.

In their feedback, participants highly appreciated the quality of the course. One of the participants, Vilen Darzhanov, noted:
