On December 23, 2025, the International University of Central Asia hosted a poetry evening titled "Fireside Gathering," centered on the theme "Life, and Tears, and Love." The theme set the tone for the whole event — warm, lyrical, and quietly festive, a fitting farewell to the final days of December.

Everything guests experienced that evening was made by the students of the Pedagogy Program. They decorated the hall, designed and built the fireplace, created the poster, wrote the script, and hosted the evening themselves. The poems were chosen personally by the students and performed with genuine feeling.

Behind the beauty of the event lies serious educational work. Organizing an evening like this is leadership, initiative, and creative thinking put into practice. Students learned to collaborate, divide responsibilities, make decisions, and own the results. The warm atmosphere they created spoke for itself.
