The International Festival under the auspices of UNESCO “The Planet of ART” was launched in 1999 on the initiative of the Director General of the Organization. Over the past 20 years, the project has expanded several times from national to regional and international levels. In 2018, in order to attract even more gifted children, it was merged with the Festival of Creative Youth of Kazakhstan “Children in the Rhythm of the World”, and entered a new stage of development called “The Planet of ART”. During this time, more than 75 thousand gifted children and youth took part in it, who expressed their vision of the world through art.

The International children's creativity contest "Mitsubishi Asian Children’s Enikki Festa", organized by the Japanese National Federation of UNESCO Associations in collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Federation of UNESCO Clubs and Associations, and supported by the Mitsubishi Corporation, is held every two years since 1990.

In 2008, the Republic of Kazakhstan joined the International competition. To preserve intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, every two years about 5,000 Kazakh children submit their works, depicting 5 happy days accompanied by essays.

“Turakty Zhol” (Sustainable Path) is the fourth cycle and logical continuation of the Republican Ecological Marathon “My Ecological Footprint” (2020), the Republican Transformational Marathon “Sustainable Development Begins with Me” (2021) and the National Social Campaign “Green Step” (2022).

This project will be implemented as part of the promotion of education for sustainable development (ESD) with the aim of raising awareness among young people and the general public about taking action by instilling the skills necessary to achieve ESD goals among both youth and local communities in accordance with the priority directions of the Roadmap for the Implementation of ESD by 2030.

The Kazakhstan National Federation of UNESCO Clubs started organizing the UNESCO Model in 2019 as a local event for Almaty clubs. The project has since expanded its scope from national to regional and international.

The main objective of the UNESCO model is to empower young people to engage in global dialogue and exchange of knowledge on UNESCO’s key priorities and to strengthen international cooperation among young people in preserving and promoting the world’s natural and cultural heritage as a factor in achieving sustainable development and instilling the right value for future generations.

The event provides a platform to raise awareness of ESD, build teacher capacity and share best practices for achieving sustainable development through education.

Participation in workshops allows participants to understand how they can contribute to the implementation of the Global Programme of Action on ESD.

Educational webinars are an opportunity for members of UNESCO Clubs to receive additional information on education, culture, financial and information literacy, basic time management, marketing and PR, communication and public speaking skills, leadership development, critical and creative thinking, sports and much more.

The main objective of these webinars is to ensure equal access to additional education and information, as well as to improve knowledge in one direction or another.
