Academic year in a new format
On September 5, a film club took place in the international book sector of the Regional Library for the first time in this new academic year. As Kazakhstan's schools returned to work amid the coronavirus pandemic, the virtual meeting focused on safety precautions to be followed when attending classes to reduce the risk of infection. Nina Belova, a volunteer from the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Pavlodar, presented everyday COVID-19 precautions such as social distancing, wearing a mask and washing hands in a fun way by watching cartoons. 10 participants from different educational institutions (primary, secondary schools, universities) also shared their thoughts and concerns about face-to-face classes in the current environment. Such activities help to strengthen daily preventive activities among students to ensure maximum safety in schools.
