Traditional decade “No one left out!” concludes

The traditional decade-long initiative “No One Left Out!”, aimed at promoting an inclusive culture, has successfully concluded at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. On November 6, the university summarized the outcomes of the initiative and held an awards ceremony to recognize volunteers who contributed to fostering an inclusive environment within the university.

The primary objective of this large-scale social initiative was to promote inclusive values in the educational environment, strengthen the support system for students with special educational needs (SEN), and foster a culture of equality, mutual respect, and social responsibility among young people.

The program, held from October 27 to November 6, 2026, brought together a variety of meaningful activities covering different aspects of inclusion. These included social campaigns and challenges, a psychological training session, a checkers tournament, an inclusive movie night, a training seminar on the “1+2” model, art therapy, and an intellectual QUIZ competition.

The final stage of the initiative was dedicated to recognizing the contributions of volunteers. During the closing ceremony, letters of appreciation and special certificates were presented to volunteers who support students with special educational needs under the “1+2” model, as well as to active members of the “Kömek” Volunteer Club.

Volunteers continue to make a significant contribution to creating an accessible and supportive educational environment, strengthening a culture of mutual assistance among students, and implementing socially important initiatives.

Special recognition was also given to social partners and sponsors who demonstrated a strong commitment to social responsibility throughout the initiative.

In particular, Burger King provided volunteers supporting students under the “1+2” model with certificates entitling them to one free meal per week for an entire year, starting January 1, 2027. This initiative aims to recognize young people’s contributions to community service and encourage their continued involvement in volunteering.

In addition, the University Endowment Fund facilitated communication with Shawarma Food, enabling members of the “Kömek” Volunteer Club to receive vouchers for a one-time complimentary meal.

Meanwhile, the University Sports Club provided volunteers participating in the “1+2” model with two-month swimming pool memberships.

Furthermore, Socium Pit LLP provided financial support for activities organized as part of the initiative.

Such contributions from social partners play an important role in encouraging youth engagement, strengthening the volunteer movement, and fostering social partnerships between the university and the business community.

The traditional “No One Left Out!” initiative has become an important platform for promoting the principles of inclusive education at the university. The activities organized throughout the program not only raised students’ awareness of inclusion-related issues but also encouraged their social engagement, strengthened mutual understanding, and promoted a culture of support and solidarity.

The outcomes of the initiative highlighted the importance of collaboration among the university community, volunteers, and social partners in building an inclusive educational environment.

L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University remains committed to systematically advancing its efforts to support students with special educational needs, ensure equal opportunities, and further develop an inclusive culture.
