Scavenger Hunt 2026
Goal: explore Almaty city and find interesting, promising organizations that have social value with which you can plan a Korda project in academic year 2026-2027.
Instructions

Get to your starting point

Each team starts its route at a place connected to the history of Almaty. It could be a monument, a museum, a park, a building, or a piece of city infrastructure.


First find your point, read its story, and take a photo. After that, you're free to head off in any direction.

Explore the area and find interesting organizations
These can be commercial or non-commercial organizations that benefit our community: a school, a kindergarten, a restaurant, a small business, a park, a museum, etc.

Interview someone

Find someone who can spare five minutes to tell you about the organization. Introduce yourselves and explain the goal of the Scavenger Hunt.


Ask them:

❓ What does the organization do? What is its mission?

❓ What challenges do they face?

❓ Where do they see the organization in two years?


If possible, take a photo together.

Create a presentation

Once you're back at school, put together a presentation about the most interesting organizations you found.


✅ One slide, one organization.

✅ Two minutes per presentation.

✅ If you're presenting in Russian, please make your slides in English, and vice versa.


On each slide, include:

✅ The organization's name.

✅ What benefit it brings to the community.

✅ What it hopes to achieve in the next two to three years.

✅ The most difficult and most important problem it's facing right now.


🍀 If you managed to take a photo or video at the organization, it would be great to include that too.
