Nowadays, the extremism poses a real threat to security of many countries and represents itself an international problem. Unfortunately, young people are the most vulnerable part of the population of our country, and the students are regarded as a social category which isthe most vulnerable to the destructive influence. Promotion of various destructive movements is actively spreading among the youth through the mass media, thus forming the radical beliefs and views. This topic also affects us, the students of Karaganda State Medical University.

On 14.04.2017 in Medical State University of Semey was held the second roundtable on the topic “Religious extremism and terrorism. Challenges of the present”. Our university was represented by the senior lecturers of the Department of History of Kazakhstan and Social-Political Disciplines S.A. Nikiforova and B.B. Rysbekova. During the round table were discussed very important issuesand presented an international antiterrorist project “Peertopeer: FacebookGlobalDigitalChallenge (P2P) Spring 2017”.Within the framework of this project, the participants on behalf of Medical University of Semey cooperate closely with the colleagues from USA. The goal of the event is to promote peace through social networks.
