The psychological support specialist, K.A. Sagyndykova, conducted a training session titled "Overcoming Cultural Shock" for students of the preparatory department at Shakarim University.

As a result of participating in the training, students were able to:

1. Reflect on their own experiences

• Students recalled their first encounters with a different culture, sharing their emotions and the difficulties they faced.
• This fostered mutual understanding and empathy within the group.

2. Gain experience through group work and discussion

• Through group exercises and role-playing games, students developed skills in expressing their opinions, listening to others, and making collective decisions.

3. Open the path to self-awareness and personal growth

• Participants learned to recognize their inner emotions and identified their own adaptation resources.
• They explored their cultural roots more deeply and learned to value them.

4. Gain practical experience through exercises and case studies

• Role-plays, discussions, and the analysis of real-life situations helped students develop the ability to solve practical problems effectively.
