Esil University Students Take Part in the “My Boundaries, My Territory” Training

Third-year students from Group 2 of the Kazakh-language department of Esil University took part in the “My Boundaries, My Territory” training, aimed at developing skills for establishing and protecting personal boundaries.

The project is implemented by the Kazakhstan Association on Sexual and Reproductive Health (KMPA), in cooperation with the National Commission for Women and Family and Demographic Policy under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with the support of Chevron.

During the sessions, psychologist T. Makenova guided students through topics related to psychological, emotional and digital boundaries. Participants learned to recognize their own feelings, express their positions using “I-statements,” confidently protect their personal boundaries and follow the principles of informed consent. The practical part included role-playing activities and exercises designed to develop communication skills.

The programme consisted of five sessions combining informational and practical activities. The training helped students develop a conscious attitude towards personal boundaries, respect for the boundaries of others and constructive communication skills. J. Romkhanqyzy coordinated the event on behalf of the university.
