Students of the Department of Journalism and Communication Management of the Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov took part in the XIV Republican Subject Olympiad for students of Kazakh departments of the OP "6B032 - Journalism and Information", which was held on April 22-23 at the International Kazakh-Turkish University named after Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan.
Teams from 10 regions and 3 cities of Kazakhstan took part in it.
The Olympiad was held in several stages. At the first stage, participants had to prepare and present a video on proposed social problems arising in their regions. These topics include tourism, ecology, compassion, village, youth problems, as well as the 30th anniversary of the International Kazakh-Turkish University named after Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. Then the students answered tests consisting of 100 questions on journalism.
At the second stage, students wrote essays about their impressions of the first day of the Olympiad, which, together with thematic photographs, were to be published on social networks or on the official website of the university.
The team "Ahmet amanaty" of the Department of Journalism and Communication Management of the Kostanay Regional University named after A.
