LAW AND ORDER: STUDENT THEATER SHOWS THE DESTRUCTIVE CONSEQUENCES OF GAMBLING ADDICTION ON STAGE

As part of the "Law and Order" principle, the Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University hosted an original tragic play, "Your turn…," by the "Zhaukazyn" student theater. The production, dedicated to the pressing social issue of gambling addiction prevention, presented to the audience the detrimental impact of this scourge on an individual's personal life, family values and the social environment. 

The play's plot artistically reveals the fate of a person trapped by gambling, their psychological struggles, the destruction of relationships with loved ones, and the necessity of taking responsibility for their actions.

Today, preventing gambling addiction is one of the most crucial aspects of youth education. In this context, the play not only conveyed a social problem through the language of art but also urged the audience to reflect on its consequences. Furthermore, it possessed an educational value aimed at enhancing the legal culture of young people and fostering their responsibility towards society.

At the conclusion of the performance, the Chairman of the Board – Rector of the university, Nauryzbay Baikadamov, and the Honored Worker of Kazakhstan, Artistic Director of the
N. Bekezhanov Kyzylorda Regional Kazakh Music and Drama Theater, Khuseyin Amir-Temir, delivered a speech, emphasizing the educational significance of the production.

The university places particular emphasis on the activities of youth organizations, aimed at the active participation of students in public life, the development of their creative abilities, and the formation of their civic stance. Currently, 22 youth organizations operate at the educational institution, uniting over 3,000 active students.
