Discussion in the form of a round table
«Volunteering of youth: legal, spiritual aspect»

Volunteer activity of independent Kazakhstan will preserve social stability; strengthen universal values through real deeds that involve young people in selfless service to society.

On this basis, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan on November 12, 2021, the Meyrim club organized a discussion in the form of a round table on the topic: «Youth volunteering: legal, spiritual aspect.

The event was based on the moral principles of the club «Meyrim», as the value orientation of volunteer work in society means the renewal of consciousness.

The discussion took place in an online format moderated by the head of the volunteer club «Meyrim» Shirinbaeva Gulbakhira, with the participation of 2nd-year volunteer students in the specialty 6B01801 - «Social pedagogy and self-knowledge». The issues of legal regulation and measures to support volunteer activities, on the prospects for the development of the volunteer movement in the field of regulation of their activities in the framework of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On volunteer activities» of December 30, 2016 were considered.

The discussion method was implemented in the form of a dialogue of participants as an analysis of specific situations with elements of game modeling, the distribution of roles in groups, compliance with rules and procedures for joint discussion. Two types of situations were used in this discussion: 1) Situations that have occurred in the group are considered; 2) Cases from professional practice or personal life. The presentation video and discussion of issues were conducted using the relay method. Conducting group and creative work by this method allowed participants to draw objective conclusions and consider all informational, creative, emotional aspects.

During the event, the students summed up the results, analyzed the conclusions on specific issues of the discussion topic. To get feedback, the participants grew their «Tree of Kindness» by writing on a piece of paper a good deed that they had done earlier and gluing it to the «tree».

The main provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On Volunteerism», which regulates measures to support the legal and spiritual aspects that define universal human values, were adopted unanimously. It was proposed to improve the principles of the unity of thought, word and deed in the daily life of youth.
