Central Asia: Capstone Magazine

The magazine includes interviews with:

• Students from Atyrau State University, Kazakhstan, who participated in the project
• International experts and teaching staff from universities in the Netherlands
• Professors from national universities in Kazakhstan
• Nora Dessing, Chargé d’Affaires at the Embassy of the Netherlands in the Republic of Kazakhstan
• Azamat Shambilov, Regional Director of PRI’s Central Asia office
