In Almaty, people with special needs can learn theater for free. The Alatau Traditional Art Theater has opened 10 inclusive clubs for people with disabilities, teaching them dance, singing, singing in sign language, comedy, and the art of dactylology for the deaf. This was announced by the theater director Maksat Nuraliev at a press conference of the Almaty Regional Communications Service.
According to him, participants who have shown high results will be included in creative teams and will have the opportunity to perform on the stage of the Almaty theater, as well as participate in international competitions and demonstrate their talent at the world level.
"Classes are held 3 times a week, 2 hours each. The training is conducted by theater artists and leaders of the Kazakh Society of the Blind and Deaf. Currently, about 200 people are studying in our studios and clubs. In addition, with the support of the Department of Culture of the Almaty Akimat, we have held more than 130 events. Among them are international festivals and competitions for people with special needs, charity concerts, lectures and meetings with cultural figures. We strive to create an inclusive environment, where art becomes a real means of communication between people. Our artists are a clear proof of the strength of spirit and unlimited possibilities. Today, we have participants who have become winners of international competitions held in Italy, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Malaysia. Our artists participated in these projects with the support of the akimat,” said Maksat Nuraliev.
It should be noted that the Alatau Traditional Art Theater has a department called “Organization of cultural recreation for people with visual and hearing impairments.” It is staffed by blind and deaf people.

Today, a concert entitled "I have turned my country" was held at the Palace of the Republic, organized by the Kazakh National Orchestra of Folk Instruments named after Kurmangazy with the support of the Ministry of Culture.
The event was dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the famous singer and composer Eskendir Khasangaliyev.
His songs have become a symbol of patriotism and love for the Motherland. These works, glorifying national values, are an integral part of the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan.
The song "Atameken", which has received the warmest public support in the singer's work, is especially appreciated. This song has taken a place in the hearts of listeners and has become a part of the golden fund of Kazakh music.
A number of works by Eskendir Khasangaliyev were performed during the concert.
The chief conductor of the orchestra is Abylay Tilepbergen, laureate of the state "Daryn" youth award. The artistic director is Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Batyrzhan Myktybayev. The concert was attended by well-known Kazakhstani artists.

During a meeting with residents of the Almaly district, Almaty Mayor Yerbolat Dossayev spoke about the ongoing work on traffic regulation on the roads.
"Work is being actively carried out in the city to improve road safety and manage traffic. Today, these functions are assigned to the Police Department, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs approved the transfer of part of the traffic management functions to the city akimat. Therefore, we plan to create an unprecedented Traffic Management Center in the city. Now we are preparing to implement this large-scale project," said Yerbolat Dossayev.
The mayor of the megalopolis noted that the modernization of traffic light facilities will continue this year. Today, 93 of the 591 existing traffic light facilities have been supplemented with European electronic equipment, which made it possible to introduce an adaptive traffic light control system.
This year, it is planned to continue the modernization of the remaining 498 traffic light facilities. After the work is completed, traffic regulation at intersections will be ensured in real time, taking into account the actual traffic intensity on the routes. It will also include calculating traffic statistics, operating the countdown board in adaptive mode, and prioritizing specialized vehicles.
