The nationwide Road Relay "Taza Qazaqstan", which began in Almaty on September 30, 2025, was organized to promote environmental cleanliness, covering various regions of the country. The relay was supported by the Youth Wing of the "Zhastar Ruhy" party under the "AMANAT" party and the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources. The main goal of the project is to form a culture of environmental protection among young people, develop skills in keeping cities clean, and involve every member of society in environmental activities.

The relay race passed through Zhambyl region and reached the city of Shymkent as its final stop. More than 600 activists took part in actions held in different regions along the way, and a total of more than 90 tons of garbage were collected. This indicator clearly demonstrates the scale of the relay race, the interest of society in environmental cleanliness, and the activity of young people.

The Road Relay, which arrived in Shymkent, was welcomed with great enthusiasm by local youth. Students, schoolchildren, volunteers, and members of youth organizations in the city actively participated in the actions. They took part in garbage collection, landscaping, planting flowers, and sorting waste. For young people, this was not just an event, but also an opportunity to contribute to environmental protection and strengthen a sense of social responsibility.

Several special events were organized during the relay race. One of them was the “Pass the trash - get a prize” campaign. This initiative drew young people's attention to the problem of garbage and taught them to properly sort waste. In addition, environmental quizzes were held, which included hidden informational and educational elements. Participants answered questions related to ecology and tested their knowledge. The quizzes aroused interest among young people and increased their environmental culture.

One of the highlights of the Road Relay was a master class on flower planting, held by gardeners. Experts from Dasik_begonia and Gulhome.Store2 taught teenagers and young people the ins and outs of flower planting. During the master class, participants learned practical skills such as soil preparation, planting methods, watering and care. This event is aimed at creating a green city, improving public spaces and developing people's aesthetic taste.

In addition, during the relay race, landscaping works were carried out in the territories of the "Akyrtas" complex and the Sauran town. The youth community collected garbage from the streets, planted flowers, and placed garbage containers in special places. These actions not only improved the appearance of the city, but also allowed residents to strengthen their environmental discipline.

A feature of the campaign was interactive activities organized with the active participation of young people. In addition to collecting garbage, participants made products from recycled materials. This experience helped young people to become interested in efficient use of resources, waste recycling, and environmental innovations. Teenagers and students of Shymkent demonstrated environmental culture and responsibility through their own handmade products.

The goal of the relay race was not only to collect garbage or improve the environment, but also to raise the environmental culture of society, develop environmental knowledge and skills among young people, and involve them as active members of society. During the campaign, skills such as environmental literacy, nature protection, proper waste management, and plant care and planting were practically mastered.

The relay race, which arrived in Shymkent, was organized at a high level with the support of the local akimat, youth organizations, and volunteer associations.
