AIU celebrated Nooruz 2023

March 20, 2023

Nooruz is the day of the vernal equinox, when winter meets spring, and the day is equal in length to the night. It is from this day that the renewal in nature begins: the first spring thunder, the swelling of buds on trees, the exuberant germination of greenery. This year, the Ala-Too International University celebrated Nooruz in a special way - together with prospective students.

On March 18, 2023, the Ala-Too International University celebrated the spring holiday of Nooruz together with applicants. The grand opening of the festival began with congratulatory words of the rector of the AIU Erdolatov Sanzharbek Saipidinovich, where he wished prosperity and success in all endeavors.

All the guests were given a festive treat - sumolok and the start of the charity fair began, where representatives of 14 countries demonstrated their national cuisine. The Nooruz holiday was also not complete without wrestling - the arkan tartysh, small contests like pillow fighting and archery were organized.

The “New Day” was accompanied with the Kyrgyz tradition of “tushoo kesuu”, where guests competed in running and received gifts. Kyrgyz melodies were performed in boz uy. In addition, a game “Visit 14 countries and get a gift” was organized especially for applicants, where they performed tasks of diasporas and received symbolic gifts from the AIU. Then 14 diasporas in national costumes and flags walked around the square, symbolizing friendship between the countries.

The second part of the concert program began with the greeting of the host Nursultan Maynazarov and the anthem of the AIU. After that, MAIU talents performed with bright songs and dances: Akmaral Akylbekova and Karina Kim presented musical numbers, and Dance Club - several dances. Invited guests also spoke on behalf of the Uighur, Caucasian diaspora, and Shukhrat Yakubov sang from the Uzbek diaspora. The holiday ended with performances of Kyrgyz show business stars Nazbek Kenchinbayev, Nurayim Azykbaeva and Busker Band - professional vocalists who gave a positive atmosphere!
