Element X: Nomadic School of Communities
Development of rural communities

In the fall of 2023, Kazakhstani film director and specialist in informal education Elmira Karmanova, together with the team of the KOMUNITIPLUS Public Foundation for Cultural Social and Educational Development, went with the project "Element X: Nomadic School of Communities" to four regions of Kazakhstan (Almaty, Turkestan, East Kazakhstan and Zhetysu region) to conduct trainings on community organizing and other "soft" skills for activists and leaders of local communities.


The goal of the "Element X" project is to "arm" the leaders of existing local communities with the necessary practical tools for creating and developing sustainable communities to strengthen civic initiative and the involvement of regional residents in solving socially significant issues.


The foundation's team of trainers traveled with the "nomadic school" to 14 populated areas - cities, villages and towns in four regions, conducted 25 trainings on community organizing and project activities, which were attended by more than 800 participants aged 13 to 70. Interesting cases of local communities were studied, information was collected on dozens of regional communities uniting thousands of caring residents.

The result of the project was a catalog of regional communities, which so far includes more than 150 communities from four regions covered by the Element X project. We would like the catalog to expand, to cover other regions of the country, so that the communities in it are systematized over time by sectors, interests or areas of activity. And most importantly, for it to be a living and constantly updated community base.

If you are a representative of some association/community/club/public initiative, then fill out the form at this LINK, and we will definitely add you to our catalog.

The project also resulted in a practical book on creating communities "In Search of Element X" (authors: Elmira Karmanova and Meirzhan Kurmanov).

The education system is the very backbone on which society and the state should be based. Someone rightly said that "the collapse of education is the collapse of the nation." Not only the family, but also the school, as one of the institutions of socialization, participates in the upbringing of children. Especially if the family does not pay attention to such upbringing...

NOMADS OF EDUCATION

The film tells about a unique case in domestic school education, when a mathematics teacher from Astana, Aralbek Berikuly, together with his like-minded people, went for several years to the village of Kulynzhon (East Kazakhstan region) with a population of 700 people to work in a local rural school and develop the first rural community center in Kazakhstan.

"They stood up and told stories about their traumas, about the violence. They just saw that in this space of trust they can speak freely and no one will judge them. At that moment, I experienced a feeling of completeness, belonging and unity, I realized that everything we do is absolutely right. These memories still give meaning to everything that I do in my work".
