A Forum That Inspires: My Experience at the IV International Farabi Forum
Every year, our university hosts a significant event — the «Farabi Readings» Forum, which has become a true platform for young researchers, students, and aspiring scholars. It is more than just a scientific gathering — it is a space for ideas, discoveries, and vibrant dialogue.
This year, I proudly participated in the IV International Farabi Forum and presented a project titled "Library Projects in the Context of Modern Culture: Based on International Experience." Scientific advisor: Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor of MAIN (International Academy of Informatization), Kalima Toleubaevna Tuyenbayeva.
The choice of topic was not accidental: I wanted to highlight the importance of libraries in modern society, to show their transformation and expanding roles, and to inspire the audience with examples of creative library initiatives from different countries around the world.
The entire process — preparing the project, defending it, communicating with the audience, answering questions, and exchanging ideas with colleagues — became a valuable experience for me. The forum turned into a true school of professional development. I realized how important it is not only to conduct research but also to share findings, engage others with your topic, and listen to those around you.
What inspired me the most was getting to know the works of other participants. Diverse perspectives, bold ideas, and in-depth studies — all of this broadened my worldview and gave me momentum for new projects. It is also important that participation in the forum is not only recognized but also encouraged: students who present successful projects are awarded additional scholarships.
As a result of the forum, my project was awarded second place. I received a certificate and a monetary prize. This was not only a pleasant surprise for me but also a confirmation of the relevance of my chosen topic and the quality of the work I had done.
