On July 31, 2026, the final of Youth Eco Camp TURAQTY JOL 7.0 - the flagship educational program of the TURAQTY JOL National Social Eco-Campaign - took place at Narxoz University - Club for UNESCO. Over the course of seven days, Almaty became a platform bringing together the country's most talented schoolchildren, young innovators, experts, business representatives and international organizations to jointly develop environmental solutions capable of contributing to Kazakhstan's sustainable development.

This year the program received around 400 applications from every region of the country. Following the selection process, 18 of the strongest teams made it to the final, presenting their own environmental projects and refining them throughout the week under the guidance of leading specialists.
The Youth Eco Camp educational program comprised more than 80 hours of intensive programming, including lectures, master classes, workshops, mentoring sessions, project work and the defense of initiatives. Participants worked with well-known Kazakhstani experts and practitioners, including Arman Suleimenov, Mahabbat Esen, Dina Ogai, Assel Bizhanova, Stas Dubinchik, Ulan Ussenov, as well as representatives of Bank CenterCredit and the faculty of NarXoz University.

The culmination of the program was the presentation of the environmental projects before an expert jury. Following the evaluation, EcoStep from Almaty was named the winner of Youth Eco Camp TURAQTY JOL 7.0, taking first place. MineSafe from Uralsk took second place, while EcoCatalyst City from Oskemen took third place. The total prize fund of Youth Eco Camp TURAQTY JOL 7.0 amounted to 5,000,000 KZT.

"Bank CenterCredit is delighted to support TURAQTY JOL once again. With each season, we see the level of the finalists' projects grow - from an idea to a well-thought-out business solution. For us, this is not just support but a systematic investment in the future: we believe that today's schoolchildren and students taking part in the camp will become the country's ESG leaders tomorrow. The program brings together education, mentorship and real funding, and this comprehensive approach delivers results: thousands of young people across Kazakhstan get the chance to bring their environmental ideas to life," noted Arnur Ibrayev, Head of the Sustainable Development Center at Bank CenterCredit and CSO.

"Over the course of this week, we saw not just interesting projects, but talented young people with bright ideas, diverse skills and the courage to try something new. Their ideas, energy and readiness to act give us confidence that Kazakhstan's future is in reliable hands. For Chevron, it is a great source of pride to support an initiative that helps unlock the potential of young people, inspires them to seek solutions to environmental challenges, and gives them a first chance to bring their ideas to life. We hope that for many participants, this is where the journey toward major change begins," said Zhanar Koshpanova, Public Relations Advisor at Chevron Eurasia.

In addition to the main prizes, participants received special awards from the project’s partners. Ecofiber, Agrosense Kz, and BlueTech were recognized with special awards from Narxoz University for the high potential and development prospects of their projects.

The teams received certificates to complete the “Emotional Intelligence” module. In the “Best Speaker of Youth Eco Camp TURAQTY JOL 7.0” category, the team AqSu received a special prize from the media platform OrkenLink - a bicycle.

Marina Fisun, Founder of the International Center for Psychology and Development Metapsychology, presented AgroSense AI and AgroSense Kz with a special prize - a certificate for the individual program “Teenager and Their Future Choice,” which includes four personal consultations over the course of one month.
