32 students from the sport college and agriculture university had participated in the workshop. The program was very intensive. Students had 4 trainings and two lectures a day. Instructor Valerian managed to give them technical material till the level of the green belt. Two teachers of physical culture also participated in the workshop. They've been very inspired especially by the philosophy and said that it's the very thing that their youth needs now.
All the students expressed desire to continue trainings after the workshop. Around 15 of them expressed desire to become future instructors. All the students were very inspired. Due to the philosophy lectures many of them could realize the purpose of their lives and seriously think about their future. We as instructors could witness substantial changes in their attitudes and behavior by the end of the workshop and it was amazing.
We had a wonderful closing which was attended by the director of the sport college. We had a fruitful discussion with her and she said that TIMD could be introduced into educational program of the college starting from the philosophy course following by the trainings. They are ready to receive TIMD instructor and offer him a working place and a gym. The TIMD club can be open in the agriculture university also as additional education based on the agreement with the university administration. The students from this university want to continue trainings.
Irina Zablotskaya as a representative of TIMD Federation was invited to present the activities of TIMD. The meeting was attended by the around 20 Kazakhstan leaders and we received a good feed back upon our presentations. Some people expressed their desire to work with us in the future.
One key Kazakhstan leader is ready to offer our instructors a gym and people to be trained.
