UNICEF opens its yurt in Ethno-aul at the World Nomad Games in Astana
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Kazakhstan will set up an inclusive yurt in the Nomad Universe Ethno-Aul at the 5th World Nomad Games (WNG), which will take place in Astana from September 8 to 13, 2024. The yurt will open on September 7 as part of the WNG cultural program and will offer a variety of activities and educational programs for children and their parents, aimed at promoting inclusion and protecting children’s rights. The yurt will be located in the Altybakan children’s zone within the Ethno-Aul.
Program of activities for children
The UNICEF yurt will host daily activities for children, including handicraft workshops, board games (Bestemshe, Mancala), chess and checkers tournaments (also accessible to children with visual disabilities), and traditional games such as Assyk Atu and Togyz-Kumalak. Workshops in archery (Zhamba Atu) and Arkyn Tartu will also be available. All activities are designed to develop skills needed for social integration and cultural enrichment.
For preschoolers and schoolchildren, the yurt will offer interactive workshops where they can learn how to make traditional handicrafts (kiiz uy) and try games that combine physical activity with mental development, such as boccia. Fans of virtual reality can test their knowledge of Kazakhstan’s history in a special quest by GameLab KBTU using VR headsets. Additionally, board games, drawing, puzzles, and Jenga focused on children’s rights will be available daily.
Dr. Rashed Mustafa Sarwar, UNICEF Representative in Kazakhstan, said, “We are excited to partner with the World Nomad Games to create an inclusive and safe environment for all children. The UNICEF yurt will be a space where children can play, learn, and develop freely, and adults are reminded of the importance of children’s right to play as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are grateful to all our partners for their support and invite everyone to our yurt.”
Special sessions are also planned for parents. UNICEF experts will conduct sessions on positive parenting and provide valuable information on how to protect children online.
All events will be held in collaboration with UNICEF partners, including the Dinara Saduakassova Chess Academy (UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in Kazakhstan), Fomalhaut Public Association of People with Disabilities, World of Equal Opportunities Public Foundation, Kazakhstan Boccia Federation, GameLab KBTU (Video Games Development and Research Laboratory at the IT and Engineering School of Kazakh-British Technical University), and the Union of Fathers Public Foundation.
Nail Nurov, the Head of the Directorate of the 5th World Nomad Games, added, “We are delighted to see UNICEF as our partner with such a rich and inclusive program for all children and their parents. This gives the 5th Games a special status and highlights our nation’s family values by ensuring accessibility and safety for children.”
We invite all visitors to the World Nomad Games to visit the UNICEF yurt and be part of a unique experience that brings together tradition and modernity, inclusion, and education.
As a reminder, the UNICEF yurt will be located in the children’s zone of the Ethno-Aul. The Nomad Universe Ethno-Aul is situated on the grounds next to the Kazanat Hippodrome in the capital city. The Ethno-Aul will be open from September 7 to 13, from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Admission is free.

BitRivals Announce Initial Alpha Offering in AlphaLauncher.io – A Whole New Generation of Web3 Gaming
BitRivals, the revolutionary Web3 gaming platform, will have an Initial Alpha Offering via AlphaLauncher.io on January 13, 2025, at 2 PM UTC. This date represents a new important milestone in BitRivals’ quest to rewrite gaming rules, allowing users to join a decentralized, player-centric ecosystem. It is here to introduce the new play-to-earn model, where actual rewards for gaming are possible and give ownership of in-game assets in ways never seen before.
The BitRivals IAO occuring on January 13, 2025, at 2 PM UTC on AlphaLauncher.io. The total raise is $200,000, and the IAO will be in the USDC. One token will be sold for $0.01. The offering will be on the Base blockchain, and participants can buy up to $999 per wallet. There will be a structured vesting schedule: 20% of the tokens at the TGE, then a 15-day cliff, then linear vesting over the next five months. More than that, BitRivals provides a 24-hour ClaimBack policy, which makes the platform very flexible and game-fair to every participant.
What’s special about BitRivals?
BitRivals is not just another Web3 gaming platform; it’s a different paradigm regarding how users interact with these digital ecosystems. BitRivals focuses on just three basic principles of change that will alter how users experience gaming:
Ownership redefined through the implementation of blockchain technology, BitRivals hands over to players complete ownership over all their in-game assets. In full tokenization of assets, one can trade, sell, or keep them in ownership at any moment. The amount of control placed in a player’s hands thus re-positions it to assume an authoritative stance above the dictations that traditional game models often bring on in-game.
BitRivals uses the FCFS model with no restrictions so that anyone can participate in the IAO. The processes are so uncomplicated and open that whether one is a fresh beginner or an old hand at Web3 has little bearing on this, so let it be all-inclusive.
A Seamless Experience for Participants
Events such as the IAO will take place on AlphaLauncher.io, one of the more trustable platforms for blockchain-based token launches. Users seeking to participate in the BitRivals IAO are invited to follow the simple steps:
- Visit AlphaLauncher.io: Head to the platform’s website to get started with the IAO registration process.
- Setting up your wallet on the base chain: Ensure your wallet is set to interact with the Base blockchain, which hosts the BitRivals ecosystem.
- Learn More About BitRivals: To learn about the game, ecosystem, and many other things, check out the website BitRivals.
- Join on January 13th, 2025, at 2 PM UTC: Be prepared to purchase BitRivals tokens when the IAO goes live.
How to Get Involved:
For more information about the IAO, interested parties can visit AlphaLauncher.io for more details and preparation for the January 13 launch. To learn more about the BitRivals platform, its roadmap, features, and vision for the future of gaming, visit the BitRivals official website at: https://bitrivals.com

Major Reforms to Driver CPC Announced to Enhance Flexibility for Professional Drivers
A series of pivotal changes to the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) have been introduced to provide greater flexibility and address challenges faced by professional drivers. These updates aim to simplify training requirements for lorry, bus, and coach drivers, with new options tailored for those driving exclusively within domestic borders.
The Driver CPC is a vital qualification for professional drivers, designed to uphold safety and competency standards across the transport sector. The recent changes reflect a commitment to streamlining processes while maintaining high levels of professionalism in the industry.
Key Features of the New Reforms
- Introduction of National and International CPC Options
Drivers now have the flexibility to choose between two tailored qualifications:
- National Driver CPC: Specifically designed for drivers operating only within domestic borders, this option offers streamlined training requirements.
- International Driver CPC: Retaining the structure of the traditional CPC, this qualification is ideal for drivers who work across both domestic and international routes, ensuring compliance with broader standards.
2.Flexible Training Sessions
Training sessions under the National Driver CPC have been restructured to allow shorter durations, as little as three and a half hours. This contrasts with the previous minimum of seven hours, giving drivers and their employers more flexibility in scheduling.
3.Increased Online Learning Opportunities
To modernize the training process, both qualifications now permit up to 12 hours of e-learning. This enables drivers to complete a significant portion of their training online, providing a convenient and cost-effective option without sacrificing quality.
4.New Qualification Cards
Updated Driver Qualification Cards (DQCs) are being issued to reflect the changes:
- National CPC holders will receive cards clearly marked “DOMESTIC USE ONLY.”
- International CPC holders will continue to use the existing card design.
Drivers are reminded that DQCs are required to be carried at all times when operating a vehicle professionally.
Enhancements for Returning Drivers (Effective February 2025)
Additional measures have been introduced to support drivers returning to professional roles after a lapse in their CPC:
- For CPCs Expired Between 60 Days and 2 Years:
- Drivers can requalify by completing 35 hours of training (National or International CPC).
- Alternatively, a seven-hour “return to driving” module is available, allowing immediate resumption of domestic driving. This must be followed by an additional 28 hours of training within 12 months.
- For CPCs Expired Over 2 Years:
- A full 35 hours of training (National or International CPC) is required to regain qualification.
These updates are designed to streamline the requalification process, addressing one of the industry’s longstanding challenges.
Industry Impact and Benefits
These reforms are set to benefit drivers and transport operators by reducing barriers to entry and compliance. With the transport sector facing ongoing driver shortages, the updates are expected to improve recruitment and retention while maintaining high safety standards.
An industry representative remarked:
“The introduction of the National CPC is a significant milestone for the transport sector. It provides much-needed flexibility for drivers and operators, particularly those focused on domestic operations. These changes are practical, forward-thinking, and a step in the right direction.”
The revised structure of training courses is also being welcomed by employers, who now have more options to support their workforce without compromising operations.
A Path Forward for Professional Drivers
The Driver CPC reforms reflect a clear focus on adapting to the needs of the modern transport industry. By providing flexible options and modernizing training delivery, the changes aim to support drivers and operators in meeting today’s demands.
Drivers and employers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new rules and select the qualification that aligns with their operational requirements. For further guidance, professional training providers and industry organizations are ready to assist with compliance and implementation.
