00:00The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.
00:05With nearly 750,000 people with disabilities registered in Kazakhstan,
00:10the need for comprehensive and long-term inclusion is clear.
00:14Kazakhstan is taking steps to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities.
00:18From inclusive education to social entrepreneurship,
00:21we explore how communities, specialists and businesses are creating a more accessible future.
00:30This school was among the first to pioneer Samruk-Kazana Trust's inclusive support classrooms.
00:35Here, specialists and psychologists work with children with disabilities outside regular classes.
00:40We have a course in our courses.
00:43We have a balance of inclusion, we have a balance of inclusion,
00:46we have a balance of education,
00:50and we have a psychology and psychology.
00:54There are already 21 schools across Astana
00:58and 10 more in two regions that have adopted the inclusive support classroom model.
01:02In our school, we have a huge possibility of inclusion in the cabinet.
01:08In that respect, we have a balance of inclusion in our community.
01:14Our mission is to keep our students with disabilities.
01:21We have a huge possibility of inclusion in our students.
01:27Our mission is to help people with disabilities take care of their health while integrating into society.
01:33To advance it further, Kazakhstan has launched a concept of inclusivity for 2025-2030.
01:38The goal of the document is to move on to the social and medical model to the right-hand method.
01:47A man with a child is a rights holder.
01:50He has the same rights as all Kazakhstan citizens.
01:55And he has the right to be equal access and equal access.
02:04Zahira is also involved in curating and supporting initiatives like BakhtashanRak, a center for
02:10supporting families raising children with disabilities.
02:25People with disabilities are also taken care of in adulthood.
02:29A growing group of social entrepreneurs opens businesses that accommodate their needs while
02:34teaching them useful hard and soft skills.
02:36This is the first inclusive barista school for people with hearing disabilities.
02:40Let me order some coffee.
02:57If you know today's day, barista is a practical specialist who doesn't contact with customers,
03:06so they don't have to talk to them.
03:16Aset and his partner Amin co-created this space that combines a coffee shop, a showroom, and
03:22a social innovation hub to showcase products from 11 inclusive workshops and show other
03:26businesses how to be more inclusive.
03:28Why did you decide to develop social entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan?
03:33Because I am a patriot.
03:34And all the time I was thinking how I can help my country.
03:37And for the last 10 years I have been dedicating myself to social problems.
03:42That's why we created the social innovation hub and company DreamHall.
03:49This wooden wheel isn't just crafts, it's a pathway to independence.
03:53For many, this is the first opportunity to earn their income and feel valued for their work.
04:00Aset and them also have a private sector.
04:01When I was a veteran of the second group, I saw an interview with Aset and him.
04:07And I called him, I gave a letter to me.
04:11I came here and, looking at what they are doing here, they have a wood factory, a home factory,
04:19a polygraph, and I decided to try to put a home factory with me.
04:23Bahat came here without any skills eight years ago.
04:26He says it's hard to find work for people with disabilities.
04:29That's why workplaces that create not only opportunity,
04:32but also a special bond are important.
04:34We even go to a wedding, people meet.
04:37People come, except that they've learned how to do it,
04:41they're already independent financially.
04:44Behind every idea is the same belief.
04:47Everyone deserves dignity, support and a sense of belonging.
04:50And the more we embrace inclusivity in everyday life,
04:53the stronger and more compassionate we become.
