KSUAE hosted the annual charity concert "Hand in Hand"
On March 10, 2026, the annual charity concert "Hand in Hand," dedicated to children with autism spectrum disorder, was held in the assembly hall of KSUAE. The event was organized by the student council of the Institute of Construction Technologies and Environmental Engineering. The concert attracted a large crowd, including representatives of the organization "Kind Kazan" and the ANO "School for All," which work to help children with special needs, as well as KSUAE students and staff.
All participants were welcomed by KSUAE Rector Rashit Nizamov, Albina Nafigova, head of the ANO "School for All" and director of the "Wings" (Kind Kazan) center, Aelina Barieva, head of the Department of Youth Policy and Social Work at KSUAE, and Runar Abitov, deputy director of ISTEEE.
Talented performers took to the stage: KSUAE students, children with autism spectrum disorder, and a guest performer who put on a bubble show. The audience was captivated by the story of Nick the Fox and Judy the Rabbit, listened to live music, poetry readings, and watched dance and theatrical performances. The bubble show amazed the guests with its vibrant performance. Particularly noteworthy were the performances by children with autism spectrum disorder, who showcased their talents and skills. Their sincerity and joy at the performance touched the hearts of everyone in attendance.
Between performances, the audience had the opportunity to participate in a charity fair: purchase handicrafts created by the students or make a donation. All proceeds will go to support ANO "School 1," which educates children with autism spectrum disorder. Guests also participated in a charity raffle and won memorable gifts. The concert concluded with a song performed by Samat, who was joined by all the performers and children. It became a symbol of unity and support, reminding everyone that together we can make the world a better place for children with special needs. The smiles on the faces of participants and spectators confirmed that this format of the event is not only important but also necessary for raising awareness of autism issues and creating a more welcoming society.
