Today, at a press conference at the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the official representative of the Ministry of Culture and Information, Elvira Zhurgenbaeva, and the developer of the “Qazaq Сulture” website, Merey Zeynesh, presented the unique project “Qazaq Сulture”.

The speakers noted that the information and educational platform was created with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Information in order to popularize the country's cultural heritage and promote the national brand.

The creation of the site is an important step in attracting the attention of the world community to the cultural heritage and diversity of Kazakhstan. Propaganda of cultural values ​​in Kazakhstan, as well as in near and far abroad, remains one of the priorities that the Head of State sets for the department.

A large-scale project reflecting the diversity of our country’s cultural heritage covers the six official languages ​​of the UN, as well as Kazakh and Turkish.

A special place on the information portal is occupied by publications from the unique archival fund of Kazakhstan. Providing access to Kazakhstan's rich historical collection of documents and archival materials, the section is an invaluable resource for researchers, historians and anyone interested in the past.

The heart of the site will be a news blog, where all the cultural news of the country and the world will be covered. The project includes vibrant festivals, fairs, competitions, as well as premieres of theatrical productions, domestic films, presentations of books by famous and emerging writers, art exhibitions, anniversary celebrations, and regional projects of various scales.

The platform will also contain information indicating Kazakh mobile applications with topics about events and news in the field of art and culture of the country.

The “Culture of Kazakhstan through the prism of artificial intelligence” section will provide visitors with a unique opportunity to explore all regions and their attractions through virtual reality.

Particular attention is paid to information technology on the portal.

Qazaq Culture gives viewers a unique opportunity to explore different regions of Kazakhstan and their attractions through 3D virtual tours. And with the help of artificial intelligence, every visitor to the site will be able to change their photo and see themselves as a hero or warrior of the Great Steppe.

When developing the site, the best practices of foreign countries were used. In particular, the subscription format provides for the online issuance of a single ticket, with which tourists will be able to visit any museum in a particular city or country as a whole (the experience of Turkey).

The main feature of the site will be a single ticket system for all cultural objects, without the involvement of expensive intermediaries, support for a Startup from the Astana Hub IT accelerator. For the convenience of portal visitors, there will be an active link to purchase a ticket for a particular cultural event.

“Qazaq Сulture” is a universal tool for everyone interested in the culture and history of Kazakhstan.
