Experts and young
representatives from Kazakhstan discussed key provisions of the draft new
Constitution today at the Jastar X dialogue platform in Astana. Participants
highlighted that the document addresses issues important to young people,
including the development of education, science, and technology, as well as the
protection of digital rights and personal data. The discussion also touched on
youth civic engagement and their contribution to the country’s development.
Experts noted that today’s young Kazakh citizens are active and eager to
participate in decision-making, and that such engagement helps build strong
democratic institutions in the country.
«Youth are a strategic resource for Kazakhstan. They
are a long-term partner of the state, capable not only today but also in the
coming years of supporting major changes in political processes. Today, the
country faces significant transformations, and as active participants in civil
society and representatives of youth, we are, of course, ready to support
them,» said
Guliskhan Nakhbayeva, Director
of the Jastar
Research Center.
«What is the purpose of a referendum? It ensures that
decisions are made openly, with the participation of the people, with each
individual making a conscious choice. This Constitution and these changes are
important for every citizen. That is why I believe that active civic
participation is a hallmark of a mature civil society,» said Zhanna Assanova, member of the Senate, the Upper
House of the Kazakh Parliament.
