On November 11, the staff and students of the International Engineering and Technological University attended The Elder Sister (Äpke), staged at the G. Musrepov Kazakh State Academic Theatre for Children and Youth.

Widely regarded as one of the most profound works of Kazakh drama, the production invited the audience to reflect on family responsibility, relationships between loved ones, moral duty, and personal choice. Through the lives of its characters, the performance sensitively and convincingly conveyed the importance of family bonds, mutual understanding, and sincere care for one another.

The actors’ compelling performances, harmonious stage direction, and the emotional depth of the play left a lasting impression on the audience. University staff and students highly praised the artistic quality of the production and shared their impressions of the performance.

The International Engineering and Technological University places particular emphasis on combining the education of competitive engineering professionals with students’ spiritual and moral development and their appreciation of national values. A modern engineer is not only a specialist with advanced technical expertise but also a well-rounded individual with a high level of cultural awareness and a strong sense of social responsibility. Guided by this principle, the University creates opportunities for students to engage with art and culture, broaden their horizons, and develop a creative worldview.

At the end of the performance, sincere gratitude was expressed to the theatre company on behalf of the International Engineering and Technological University, and flowers were presented to the actors as a token of appreciation. The evening concluded with a commemorative group photograph featuring the performers and University students.

Such cultural initiatives contribute to the harmonious integration of education and spiritual development, helping future engineers acquire not only professional competencies but also strong moral values. The visit to the theatre offered the participants memorable experiences and provided an opportunity to reflect once again on the enduring importance of family, mutual support, and close relationships.
