Where is Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan is located in the Central Asia, who has borders connected with Russian and China.

What factors created the culture of Kazakhstan?

The nomadic history of Kazakhstan, makes her culture similar to other countries in Central Asia, and also allows it to preserve its unique values at the same time.

 

What are the aims of our project?

Due to the influence of the Soviet Union in the 20th century, most of the local cultures were suppressed, and some cultural heritages were lost at that time. People in Kazakhstan usually have lower familiarity to their own culture, when comparing with other countries. The aims of our project are to promote the unique and unknown culture of Kazakhstan, and allow people to understand the values of the cultural heritages.

 

Who is our target audience?

The target audiences of our project are youngsters in Kazakhstan and Tourists who are interested in the local culture, who are mainly non-professionals:

1.         The youth in Kazakhstan is one of our target audience, since most of their parents did not inherit the cultural heritage at their teenage, leading to inability to pass the culture to the next generation. Therefore, in order to motivate the youngsters to participate in the local culture, we would like to make this website and transfuse the knowledge of local cultural heritage to them, thus, raising their interests in it.

2.         Tourists who are interested in the culture of Kazakhstan, are also taken into our account. Since most of the information about the Cultural Heritages are written in either Russian or Kazakh, not much information are written in English. Therefore, in order to facilitate the visiting of English-speaking tourists, we are going to make this website and provide information of Cultural Heritage to them, in English.
