Guided Tour for Young Ones at Akorda
Imagine June 1st - International Children's Day rolls around once more, and kids from every nook of the nation flock to Akorda, as per our report on the website, alongside Akorda itself.
Stepping into the presidential residence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, these young scholars - winners of subject olympiads, regional and international competitions, sports champions, and brave young souls who've saved the day - were greeted with open arms. Among them, children from big families, orphans, and those with special needs.
Taking the tour, these fresh minds caught sight of Akorda's central parade hall and rooms filled with grandeur, intended for official events, glimpsed the library of the Head of State, and marveled at the residence's garden.
Their guide spun tales about the build, its peculiarities, and fascinating tales connected to the events that took place there. All eyes sparkled in wonder as the stories unfolded.
At the end of the tour, the little leaders were handed commemorative gifts from the President. As tradition goes, these days in the capital always have a touch of magic, as children explore the city's attractions alongside their visits to Akorda.
This year, the events were organized in line with the unified concept "Children of Kazakhstan". From May 22nd to June 1st, various activities took place to highlight essential themes: family, safety, health, education, and the protection of child rights.
Throughout the country, family-centered events, educational gatherings, charity initiatives, exhibitions, sports tournaments, environmental actions, medical and psychological consultations, and awareness-raising conversations were held. One day was dedicated to the exploration and promotion of digital technologies and child protection in the digital world.
Though specific details about the celebrations of 2021 in Kazakhstan might be scarce, International Children's Day events generally include concerts and festivals, creative workshops, educational seminars, charity events, sports competitions, and more. These events are often joint efforts between organizations like UNICEF and local groups to raise awareness about children's rights and support initiatives that boost their well-being.
Example initiatives might include dance events that promote unity and cultural pride while emphasizing children's rights, as UNICEF Turkmenistan did in 2025[4]. Needless to say, such activities are likely part of the broader celebrations taking place across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan. To find specific details about the 2021 events in Kazakhstan, consulting local news archives or statements from relevant organizations for that year would be fruitful.
In the presidential residence of Akorda, the young scholars were immersed in a day filled with education and self-development, exploring the parade hall, library, and gardens, learning tales about the history and events of the residence. As part of the celebrations for International Children's Day in Kazakhstan, they were also introduced to the importance of education, family, health, and child rights, focusing on the role of digital technologies in shaping their lifestyle and future.
