On March 16, 2022, an inter-university and inter-country meeting was held as part of the ALLVET project (HE and VET alliance establishment according to Bologna Principals implementation via VET teachers' capacity building - 609952-EPP-1-2019-1-RS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP).
In this way, the meeting differs from the many current working meetings on the project, or from planned events. Volunteers of the Erasmus+ program projects are perhaps one of the most valuable categories of project participants, because they are people who care about the idea, direction, goal and objectives of the project as important for the solution and implementation in the system of higher education and vocational education in Kazakhstan.
It's no secret that volunteers do not receive any project preferences: neither in the form of the opportunity to take part in project mobility, or financial rewards for services within the framework of project work packages. They are often representatives of universities and colleges that are not part of the country consortium at all.
Volunteers are enthusiasts of the education system!!!
In other words, the social mission of the volunteer movement cannot be conveyed!
Therefore, it is volunteers who are an indicator of the relevance of the project, its timeliness, the importance of the goals and objectives raised in the project for improving education in the country and in the region.
So, the most active volunteer participation in the ALLVET project and, accordingly, in the activities of the project for its development, distribution, implementation, is taken by representatives of the Academy of Logistics and Transport (ALiT) and the Kazakh Academy of Labor and Social Relations (KazAtiso)!
We discussed the piloting of scientific modules at KazAtiso College and five ALiT colleges, general ideas for preparing new joint project applications, joint participation in conferences, etc.
New meetings and expansion of volunteering are ahead, which cannot but rejoice and inspire the effective implementation of the project, the interest in which is great among all academic structures, not only in Kazakhstan, but throughout the Central Asian region!!!
