Работая волонтером в Обществе Красного Полумесяца, Камила организовывала для детей с особыми потребностями развлекательные представления. Однажды, после выступления, она решила снять костюм клоуна и поговорить с их матерями, и обнаружила, что будучи изолированными от общества, они лишаются многих возможностей, которые мы, зачастую, принимаем как должное.
Так возникла идея — обучать детей с особыми потребностями и с инвалидностью вместе с обычными детьми, давая всем равные возможности общения, творческого и эмоционального развития.
В своем выступлении Камила делится руководством как сумела открыть первый в Казахстане центр инклюзивного образования и, тем самым способствовала решению проблемы. Камила — специалист и активист по продвиженю иклюзии и защиты прав ребенка. Она является основателем центра инклюзивного образования “Education For All”, нацеленного на расширение доступа детей и молодежи с особыми потребностями к обучению и трудоустройству. В 2018 году она вошла в список Форбс «30 моложе 30», а ее проект был признан лучшим по мнению Британского Совета, компаний Шеврон и ПрайсуотерхаусКуперс.

Речевая смелость говорящих и пишущих современников не знает границ. Ни стилистических, ни грамматических, ни эстетических – никаких, одним словом. Это безвизовое раздолье, в конце прошлого века вызывавшее восторг и азарт, сегодня уже не кажется привлекательным. Тускло, шаблонно, плоско. Грубо. Попытка преодолеть свою речевую серость выливается в путаное многословие. Что делать, если своя речевая бедность уже осознаётся и вызывает недовольство? Как перевести мысль в слово с минимальными потерями для первой? Как можно (и нужно ли?) развить образность в своей речи?

Об этом и поговорим.
