In article some aspects of work of Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan with youth are shown, its invaluable value for strengthening of the Kazakhstan society is proved. Development of the youth direction in activity of APK in many respects is promoted by constant attention of its Chairman to the younger generation, President of Republic of Kazakhstan - the Leader of the nation N. A. Nazarbayev.
Interethnic tolerance and public consent – property of the republic, its main values. The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan (APK) is the major strengthening structure of unity of the Kazakhstan society. Its experience is unique and invaluable, gained world recognition. Created at the initiative of the Head of state N.A.Nazarbayev in 1995, it took a worthy place in the republic, has beneficial influence on life of all citizens. Giving to Assembly in 2007 of the constitutional status and in 2008 signing by the President of the country of the Law "About Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan" was important for this process.
The supreme body of Assembly is Session which gathers once a year. During the intersession period Council of APK works. The chairman of Assembly is the President of Kazakhstan - the Leader Nation - N. Nazarbayev. As working body the Secretariat of APK in structure of Presidential Administration acts as independent department. The secretariat is headed by the manager who at the same time is the vice-chairman of Assembly. Two vice-chairmen of Assembly from ethnic associations are appointed by the order of the President of the republic on a rotational basis on representation of Council of Assembly.
As public, socially important and advisory bodies the structure of Assembly includes scientific advisory council and scientific and expert groups. There are also the Club of journalists and experts in the interethnic relations, " APK Fund", the Methodical center of innovative technologies of training in the «Tildaryn» languages, Association of businessmen of APK, Academy of the World and Friendship work. Working body of scientific advisory council is the Center for studying of the interethnic and interfaith relations of Academy of public administration at the President of Kazakhstan. APK chair as the scientific and educational centers in higher education institutions is open. The first such chair appeared at the Eurasian national university of At the same university in 2013 UNESCO chair on ethnic and religious tolerance is created. Its purpose is advance of complex system of researches, training, information and documentation in the field of ethnic and religious tolerance [1: 215, 261, 262].
For years of the existence the Assembly saved up high positive potential. In many respects thanks to it in the country the special atmosphere of mutual understanding is reached. In the Message "Nurli zhol – a way to the future" the trust and tolerance of Kazakhstan citizens are to each other called by the President N. A. Nazarbayev keys to the future of Kazakhstan. He noted that "we have to protect our unity and interethnic consent". The particular emphasis is placed on youth: "Our youth grows in the new, independent country. The present generation didn't see interethnic wars and the conflicts, ruin of the 90th years. And many perceive stability and comfortable life in Kazakhstan as something put from the birth" [2]. For further preservation of stability and consent it is necessary to develop purposefully work on education in people, especially young, understanding of an inherent value of those ideas which make a basis of activity of Assembly.
Therefore among the most important questions of development of APK the special place is taken by the youth direction. It is promoted by constant attention and versatile activities for support of the younger generation from the Chairman of Assembly N. A. Nazarbayev, an appreciation of his role in life of society. In the Message "Strategy "Kazakhstan-2050": a new political policy of the taken place state" the youth is defined as the engine of a new political policy of the state [3]. Calling in January, 2014 all Kazakhstan citizens actively to participate in work on achievement of a main goal of Strategy-2050, the President separately addressed to youth: "This Strategy – for you. To you to participate in its realization and to you to reap the fruits of its success. Get into gear, everyone on the workplace. Be not indifferent. Create destiny of the country together with all people!" [4]. In the Message "Nurli zhol – a way to the future" N. A. Nazarbayev emphasized again that "youth – a support of our future. The state opened all doors and all ways before new generation! " Nurli zhol " - here where it is possible to make efforts, to be developed our creative youth!" [5].
On the ХХIIth of session of APK which took place on April 23, 2015 with the agenda: "The Mangilik el: one country – one destiny", N. A. Nazarbayev paid attention that all initiatives of the last time are calculated on many years ahead, and only the powerful national mechanism is capable to start them. "The nation of the uniform future can become that. We form unique and still nowhere repeated model of unity of the people, - he emphasized. - We are united, first, by the general love to our general house – to Kazakhstan. Secondly, public consent in relation to history of our ancient earth and development of languages. Thirdly, deep belief in the present and great future of our state and its citizens. It is also a basis of our Eternal Homeland - the The Mangilik el" [6].
Such approach demands continuous improvement of the state youth policy, respectively, and strengthening of attention to youth from ANC. In this regard it is necessary to allocate N. A. Nazarbayev's speech for H1H of session of Assembly "The Kazakhstan way: stability, unity, modernization", taken place in April, 2012 [7]. In it a number of innovations in the field of improvement of policy of the state in relation to youth is designated. This speech testified the increased role of ANC in work with younger generation.
First of all, it should be noted that according to an order of the President the Government of the country approved the Concept of the state youth policy till 2020; On February 9, 2015 the President signed the new Law "About the State Youth Policy" (the previous Law was adopted in July, 2004).
In structure of the Ministry of Education and Science the Committee on youth policy, and in regions – the relevant managements is created. N. A. Nazarbayev obliged to head regional councils of youth, and also the cities of Astana and Almaty akim personally. For deep studying of youth problems at the request of the President the research center "Molodezh" is formed. In 2013-2014 the Center published the national reports devoted to the analysis of provision of youth and a condition of the state youth policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In reports the social and demographic structure of the Kazakhstan youth, its situation in education and sciences, work, health care, employment, businesses, participation of youth in political processes, etc. is shown.
In the speech at the XX session of ANC "Kazakhstan-2050": one people - one country one destiny", taken place in April, 2013, among one of tasks N. A. Nazarbayev specified that "vertical" and "horizontal" of Assembly reached each Kazakhstan citizen. It is important to provide involvement of youth at all levels in actions of Assembly for formation of public consent. In a waterway of realization of this thought of the President the Youth resource centers, the centers of service of youth, the centers of development of youth initiatives, committees on affairs of youth in work and educational collectives, youth associations in the ethno cultural centers are created. In April, 2014 at ANC the Republican youth association "Zharasym" is formed.
Development of the international cooperation is important for education of youth. This direction supports ANC. It is actual and from the point of view of an explanation of essence of this organization abroad. At the XX session of Assembly N. A. Nazarbayev specially emphasized that "some think "in the old manner" that ANC is a representation of ethnic minorities. I want to tell those who doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand that such assembly today. It was recognized in the UN, in OSCE, in SVMDA. The assembly is a national representation! For this reason I headed assembly! For this reason I also told today that the assembly is all 17 million Kazakhstan citizens!" [8]. Young in people in this representation take a powerful place. As of the beginning of 2014 the specific weight of youth as a part of the population of the republic aged from 14 till 29 years made 25,01%. In a territorial section the greatest share of youth from the total number of the population of regions is presented to Almaty – 27, 8%, the Aktyubinsk area – 27,1%, Astana – 26,8% [9:96]. Therefore the aspiration of various structures of Kazakhstan, including ANC, along with development of bilateral cooperation is exclusively far-sighted, to consider multilevel character of youth policy [10]. It gives the chance to the international organizations and the states of the globalized world to expand interaction of young men and girls, to combine the latest tendencies in youth work with own experience and national features, to develop the forms of youth policy which are going out of one state more successfully. In turn, activization of youth cooperation is good help for strengthening of interaction of the states, international structures, their organizational improvement and increase of efficiency of activity. In the world community in interests of youth activity of the UN is allocated. Integration of youth policy at regional level is useful.
Such work within the CIS, SVMDA, SCO develops, during meetings of youth of border territories.
In May, 2013 in the Pavlodar region, for example, III International youth forum of border cooperation "Бірлік – Unity took place. KZ" (for the first time such forum took place in 2011 in Bayanaule). As his organizers the youth wing of Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan of the Pavlodar region and the Center of development of youth initiatives of management on youth policy of the region acted. Among invited there were representatives of youth associations of the Russian cities of Omsk, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Barnaul, Rubtsovsk. In May, 2014 in Pavlodar by tradition the IVth an ethno cultural forum passed in which representatives of Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland and South Korea participated. A main objective of forums - education of the younger generation in the spirit of mutual respect and development of cooperation of youth of two countries, its contribution to business of international and interstate cooperation [11].
In May, 2013 the international forum of youth in Atyrau in which representatives of four western areas of Kazakhstan (Atyrausky, Aktyubinsk, West Kazakhstan and Mangistausky) and two Russian took part took place (Samara and Astrakhan). Inspirers of the project – atyrausky fund "The Zheruyyk cultural center with assistance of regional management concerning youth policy. Participants of a forum exchanged experience in area of implementation of the state youth policy, a role of the youth organizations in its development. At the forum which took place in May, 2014 in Uralsk, much attention was paid to integration of youth associations of Kazakhstan and Russia. Delegations of the Republic of Tatarstan and regions of Kazakhstan took part in its work. These are youth activists from the Western Kazakhstan, Astana, Almaty, Aktau, Aktobe, Petropavlovsk and Semey. Youth leaders of Kazan showed considerable interest in experience of Assembly of the people of Kazakhstan, to forms of development and promotion of traditions, customs, folklore of residents of multinational Kazakhstan. The initiative of zyryanovets about carrying out Day of Irtysh got approval in East Kazakhstan. He even more will rally the youth living along the mighty river [12].
The assembly seeks to work with all categories of youth. The special place belongs to students. At the Kazakh national research technical university of K. I. Satpayev, for example, representatives of 40 nationalities are trained and work. In many respects interethnic communication amplifies thanks to activity of numerous structures, for example, of the Center of youth policy and political club "Dilemma". The club functions not the first year, the presentation of the Center took place in October, 2013. The analysis shows that the similar centers are almost not created, open most often information centers for youth.
At meetings of the Center and club the major documents are discussed, meetings with prominent scientists and politicians are held. Much attention is paid to the interethnic relations, the state youth policy. Resources of educational process are used: information on Assembly is given at lectures and seminars, joins in tests and examination cards, in subject of papers. Students get acquainted also with history of Assembly, the main directions of its activity and actual projects. Members of APK - frequent guests of the studying youth.
Students of university visit ethnocultural associations. Such departures cause in them genuine interest, desire to get acquainted with activity of ethnocultural associations, and, above all - with people who work in these structures. Meetings are always accompanied by the interested dialogue on strengthening of interethnic tolerance, education, studying of languages, functioning of the youth organizations, first of all youth wings of APK, active involvement in work of Assembly of young people. At the beginning of February, 2015, on the eve of official opening of Year of Assembly, at university the "round table" devoted to 20-year history of APK is carried out.
Thus, on the one hand structures of university in detail acquaint students from Assemblies, and with another – actively use its resources for education of youth. It is thought that such collaboration of ANC and educational institutions has to be continuous practice. Attraction of youth to affairs of Assembly is an attraction it to noble work on unity of the Kazakhstan society, on strengthening of the republic in general.
