On November 1, 2025, a city clean-up drive was organized in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". This campaign was held with the aim of increasing the environmental culture of city residents, instilling in them the habit of keeping the environment clean, and contributing to the growth of greenery. Employees of various institutions, teachers and students of educational organizations, and volunteer youth actively participated in the clean-up drive.

Shymkent colleges also did not remain aloof from this campaign and implemented their own initiatives. College teachers and students jointly carried out cleaning and landscaping work on the college territory. During the event, the college courtyard, internal and external territories, irrigation systems, pedestrian paths, lawns, flower beds and other green areas were thoroughly cleaned. Participants collected, sorted and threw garbage into special containers. In addition, the collected garbage was taken to special places for processing or reuse.

During the weekend, not only the college territory, but also its surroundings were not left out of the spotlight. Special attention was paid to the cleanliness of the irrigation systems: garbage was removed from the canals, flowing waterways were cleaned, and blockages and foreign objects were removed. Pedestrian paths and lawns were also cleared of garbage and restored to a safe and comfortable condition for residents and students.

The participants of the event were provided with special equipment: shovels, rakes, buckets, gloves, garbage bags and other necessary tools. During the organization of these works, special attention was paid to safety rules. All participants actively and responsibly fulfilled their duties. Students understood the importance of contributing to cleanliness, protecting the environment and forming an ecological culture at every step.

The main goal of the Saturday was not only to clean up the college grounds, but also to instill in young people a culture of responsible environmental stewardship. The joint activities of students and teachers developed their environmental awareness and increased their sense of care for nature. In addition, this event allowed students to develop teamwork and organizational skills.

The college administration expressed its gratitude to the participants of the clean-up and highly appreciated their work. The representatives of the board noted that this event was not just a one-day event, but that the resulting clean-up habits would continue. They called on students, teachers, and volunteers to continue such initiatives on an ongoing basis.

As the amount of garbage collected during the weekend shows, a lot of garbage and household waste has accumulated in the city. In this regard, each participant made their own contribution, making a real contribution to the beautification of the city and the comfortable life of residents. According to the participants, such a weekend brings people together, allows people of different ages to unite for a common goal, and forms environmental responsibility in society.

An important part of the work carried out on the college territory was the care of greenery. Cleaning lawns and flower beds, cultivating the soil, and caring for plants showed young people a practical example of caring for nature. These actions not only formed an ecological culture among students, but also increased their desire to keep their environment clean in the future.

After the weekend, the college yard, walkways, irrigation systems, and lawns were restored to a clean, orderly, and comfortable condition. The students felt great moral satisfaction from seeing the results of their hard work. In addition, this event fostered in them the qualities of responsibility, teamwork, and organization.

The "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign and the city Sabbath not only provide students with environmental education, but also develop a sense of patriotism in them. Protecting their native land, their city, and their college territory, keeping it clean is the duty of every citizen. The participants of the Sabbath demonstrated this principle through concrete actions.

In the future, such Saturdays will be held regularly at the college. In order to teach the younger generation to protect the environment, form an ecological culture, and increase the activity of students and teachers, campaigns will be organized every month or every season. These works will not only improve the city, but also contribute to the residents living in a clean and comfortable environment.

In conclusion, the city clean-up as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign held in Shymkent on November 1, 2025 was a clear demonstration of the joint efforts of college teachers and students to responsibly treat their environment. The cleaning activities carried out in the college courtyard, irrigation systems, pedestrian paths, lawns and flower beds made a great contribution to improving the ecological situation in the city, creating greenery, and creating a comfortable environment for residents.

The participants of the Saturday event share their experience and aim to spread this initiative to other colleges and educational institutions. Protecting the environment and maintaining a clean environment is a responsibility for every person, and every action, even a small one, can make a big difference. The active actions of students and teachers are a concrete step towards leaving a clean, green and beautiful Shymkent for future generations.

A clean environment is the key to a bright future. We want every citizen to take care of their environment, not pollute it, and contribute to making the city more beautiful. The Clean Kazakhstan campaign is not just about cleanliness, it is about culture, responsibility, and active citizenship in society.
