On August 8, MANAoKO Director Gulnara Kusidenova took part in the national Unconference “PedTalk Without the Bell”, held in the city of Shchuchinsk at School-Lyceum No. 7.
Organized by the Ustaz Alliance, the Unconference became a unique platform for open and informal dialogue between educators and experts in the field of education..
The event brought together participants from various regions of Kazakhstan — East Kazakhstan, Zhambyl, Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, and Akmola regions, as well as from the cities of Almaty and Astana. They were all united by the desire to share experiences, discuss the challenges of modern schools, and find practical solutions together.
Instead of traditional presentations, the event featured lively discussions, master classes, brainstorming sessions, and personal stories that inspire and engage. The live communication format became a vivid example of how horizontal professional connections help build a community of active and mindful educators.
As a result of the work, casebooks were created — a living collection of real teaching practices born at the Alliance’s events and in teachers’ everyday work.
Participants expressed hope that the “PedTalk Without the Bell” format will become a good tradition and contribute to real changes in the country’s education system.
