3rd-year students of the Tourism educational program took an engaging excursion to the Museum of Peace and Accord in Astana. This field session, held from 13:00 to 16:00, became an important stage in the training of future specialists in the field of tourism and excursion services.
The excursion was organised with the aim of consolidating the theoretical knowledge acquired in class and applying it in a real professional environment. Students had the opportunity not only to learn about the history and concept of the museum, but also to study how tourist and excursion services are provided. During the excursion, the future specialists gained valuable insights into how to conduct tours effectively, interact with visitors, and respond to their questions.
The Museum of Peace and Harmony, renowned for its unique concept, represents a space dedicated to the issues of peace and accord among peoples. The students were impressed by the exhibitions that demonstrate the diversity of cultures and traditions of different countries, as well as the importance of peaceful coexistence. This inspired them to reflect on the role of tourism in shaping international relations and cultural exchange.
In addition, students had the opportunity to pose questions to the tour guides, discuss practical aspects of organising guided tour activities, and learn about methods of attracting tourists to the museum. This interaction helped students develop their communication skills and enhance their confidence as future tour guides.
The excursion to the Museum of Peace and Harmony became an educational and inspiring experience for students, deepening their understanding of the profession and the importance of work in the tourism sector.
