Esil University Held a Simulation Business Game as Part of the Political Science Course

The Department of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Faculty of Applied Sciences and the Faculty of Business and Management organized an educational event in the format of a simulation business game as part of the Political Science course. The event was organized by Aizhan Zholdybekkyzy Aden, lecturer at the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, with the participation of colleagues M. E. Baydalina, A. Ch. Yeshniyazova, M. T. Zhusupova, M. K. Zhakan and A. A. Zhukenova.

The event aimed to develop students' legal culture, public speaking skills, ethics of electoral campaigning, teamwork and leadership abilities. Particular attention was also paid to fostering academic engagement, the ability to present well-reasoned arguments, effective communication and constructive dialogue, including listening to opponents and working efficiently as part of a team.

During the seminar, students distributed roles within their campaign headquarters (Candidate, Speechwriter, PR Manager, Analyst and Image Maker) and successfully presented their election campaign projects. Participants demonstrated their ability to defend their positions with sound arguments, observe public speaking ethics and maintain a constructive discussion. The team formation process, preparation of campaign headquarters and the seminar itself were recorded on video. The videos created by students clearly demonstrate the dynamics of teamwork and the active involvement of participants.

A permanent exhibition of the best student campaign posters was organized near the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, highlighting the practical and educational nature of the event. The accompanying materials included photographs of the student poster exhibition displayed on the department's stand, as well as video recordings documenting the preparation and implementation of the simulation seminar.
