Enchanting Lines of Poetry…

On November 18, 2025, an international literary and poetry evening once again brought together Kazakhstani and Russian students at Turan University in Almaty.

Here is a polished, website-appropriate English translation with a formal yet expressive tone:

Such evenings are of great importance for young people, especially in an era marked by crises and global conflicts. Through poetry, participants are able to express their emotions and complex inner experiences, as well as their viewpoints and convictions. Moreover, this format represents an important cultural dialogue at the international level, helping to preserve goodwill and mutual understanding among creative individuals and former compatriots. Here, in the White Hall of Turan University, we find like-minded people and strengthen our connection with universal human values.

Representing Kazakhstan, the event featured the creative works of Dina Aldabergenova, songwriter and granddaughter of the classic figure of Kazakh literature Ilyas Zhansugurov; Vadim Dergachev, a Kazakh poet, publicist, and publisher; and Timur Pochanov, singer-songwriter and performer.

If you wish, I can also offer a slightly more emotional or journalistic version or adapt the text to match a specific section of the website (news, press release, cultural events).

From the Russian side, students at the Volgograd Institute of Management of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) presented the audience with poetic sketches dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the birth of the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin.

Below is a clear, polished English version suitable for a website or official report:

If needed, I can adapt this to a more ceremonial, concise, or media-style format, or align spelling with British or American English consistently across the full text.

We sincerely thank all participants for a wonderful and heartfelt evening. This international collaboration was made possible thanks to the faculty of the School of Media and Intercultural Communication at Turan University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and their colleagues from the Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication at the Volgograd Institute of Management — a branch of RANEPA’s Faculty of Public Administration (Russia).
