During the period of teaching practice, 1st year doctoral students of the Department of Mechanics A.Abekova, Zh.Aituganova and B.Merkibaeva, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), conducted an educational lesson on the topic “We are against tobacco.”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of interrelated goals developed by the UN General Assembly in 2015 as a “blueprint for achieving a bright and sustainable future for all humanity”, aimed at improving people's well-being and protecting our planet.As you know, this development program includes 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), 169 targets aimed at solving a number of problems in the areas of poverty eradication, education, health, social protection and employment, combating climate change and environmental protection. One of these goals (Goal 3) is to improve the health and well-being of the population.

Students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering also contributed to achieving this goal by conducting an educational lesson on the topic “We are against tobacco.” About 50 students, professors and teachers of the Department of Mechanics, and specially invited guests took part in the lesson.

During the event, presentations were made and discussions were held on the harmful effects of tobacco on the human body, the environment, production and development of humanity as a whole. Discussions were held on the results of the survey conducted among university students. In addition, a short video competition (Vine) was organized among students. Despite the difficulty of conveying the meaning of the story about the dangers of smoking in a one-minute video, the students showed activity. As a result, the video of 1st year students of the specialty mechanic Silanbekovkyzy Akerke, Sultan Zangar and Shynarbek Ospankul was recognized as the best vine, and they were awarded special prizes.

On behalf of the invited guests, Master of Sports in combat sambo Mr. Omarkhan Chingis spoke, who expressed his opinion on the dangers of smoking, leading a healthy lifestyle and playing sports. Based on the results of the lesson, it was concluded: “It is important not only to know about the dangers of smoking, but also to promote a healthy lifestyle.”
