On September 18, 2025, the Botai Museum-Reserve in the Akan Seri House of Culture (SKO) organized the exhibition "At the Crossroads of History and Labor", dedicated to Labor Day.

The event is held as part of the Year of Working Professions. The main goal is to increase the prestige and popularization of working professions, as well as to foster respect for work and working people.

The central part of the program was master classes and interactive demonstrations of the life of the Botai culture, showing how labor shaped people's lives thousands of years ago. Visitors can get acquainted with ancient tools, household items, as well as their modern counterparts from the funds of the historical and local lore museum of the Shal akyn district (SKO), telling about the history of labor in the region.

Note that the Botai culture is the culture of ancient tribes who lived in the IV–III millennia BC in the territory of Northern Kazakhstan. The Botai people were among the first in the world to domesticate the horse. They were engaged in cattle breeding, made ceramics, tools made of bone and stone.

The significance of the Botai culture is enormous: the domestication of the horse gave impetus to the development of Eurasian civilizations. It is from here that the tradition of nomadic cattle breeding originates, which became the basis of the culture and lifestyle of the Kazakh people.
