On 14 August 2025, the Bakytty Bala Forum convened civil society leaders, experts, and advocates for a dialogue on children's rights, social work, and systemic change. Co-organized with the National Alliance of Professional Social Workers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Unified Grant Operator, the forum offered a platform to discuss international standards, civil society development, and advocacy strategies.
Our team highlighted the 2025 Innovate For Change program, showing how youth-led projects can complement professional social work, empower communities, and create lasting impact for children. Conversations centered on implementing international best practices, strengthening institutional support, and scaling advocacy initiatives.
