As part of the Rukhani Zhangyru programme, the teachers of the Centre for the History of Kazakhstan and Rukhani Zharyru hold lessons on customs and traditions of the Kazakh people. Students investigate their family history and make their own “Shezhire” (family tree). The students also role-play different situations related to traditional values, such as respect for the elders, a sense of belonging to the joys and problems of each member of the community, etc.
