The development of social and cultural communication between Europe and Asia within the CASIA project and its influence on raising my professional level Kairat Battalov

Globalization in the world space covers more and more spheres of human life. More and more countries are embraced by globalization. It dictates the need to establish a dialogue between cultures and regions for better mutual understanding.

Universal values of humanity, tolerance and personal freedom are formed on the basis of interaction between cultures. It should be noted that European culture has absorbed the best traditions of universal values. Central Asia has accumulated the values of diversity, charity and creation, respect for elders and hospitality.

To ensure that globalization does not oppose these cultures, their interaction is necessary. This fact will enrich our human culture. The development of sociocultural communication between Europe and Central Asia is a very important aspect of interaction. In this case a major bridge in the cultural communication between these regions is education and science.

The important achievement of European countries was the Bologna process. It gave an opportunity for the integration of European countries into a single educational and scientific system. In March, 2010 Kazakhstan officially joined the Bologna Declaration and became the first Central Asian state recognized as a full member of the European educational system.

Within the CASIA project sociocultural communication between Europe and Central Asia is carried out. Citizens of Central Asian countries study and get trained in European countries and successfully establish cultural contacts between peoples. We receive not only quality knowledge and skills, but also act as a bridge between cultures. We absorb and accumulate in our countries the best sociocultural traditions of Europeans. But at the same time we are presenting to Europeans the achievements of our cultures, contributing to the understanding of the diversity of our world.

The aim of my research was to study the nature and fundamental periods of military-political and socio-cultural contacts of nomadic Huns with neighbouring States and tribal associations in the period of late antiquity.
