The Moscow Longevity project is expanding its scope every day and attracting more and more interest from older citizens. Currently, universities, colleges and schools of the city are actively involved in the project. In this regard, new project participants have questions: how to work with this target audience, what programs are most in demand, how to organize the educational process?
Moscow City Pedagogical University in 2017 became a pilot site by launching the Moscow Silver University project. Over a year and a half, interesting experience has been accumulated, which specialists and teachers of Moscow State Pedagogical University shared at a seminar organized with the participation of the Moscow Department of Education and Science, the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population, and the Resource Center for the Development of Social Communications. The seminar was attended by 185 schools and colleges and 26 universities.
In his welcoming speech, the rector of Moscow State Pedagogical University, Igor Remorenko, spoke about the first results of the work of the Moscow Silver University: more than 10,000 people have been trained, interest clubs have been created at the initiative of graduates. Based on the experience of working at the Silver University on IT programs, together with the All-Russian Society "Knowledge", the professional standard "Digital curator" ("Consultant in the development of digital literacy of the population (digital curator)" was developed and adopted.
The Russian State Social University shared its experience of participating in the Moscow Longevity project. In her speech, RSSU Rector Natalya Pochinok focused the attention of those present not only on the programs implemented within the framework of the project, but also on ways to inform citizens and monitor educational requests and demand for programs.
Alexander Levintov, scientific director of the Silver University project, researcher at the Institute of Continuing Education of the Moscow State Pedagogical University, introduced the participants of the seminar to the features of Aging pedagogy and presented the basics of the mission and functions of the Silver University.
The results of modern research on the interests and problems of the older generation were presented by Evgenia Romanova, director of the Institute of Psychology, Sociology and Social Relations of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. An important value orientation for them is the desire for an active intellectual life and the expansion of the circle of social communication.
In the final speech, the director of the IPE MSPU, Marina Shalashova, spoke about the features of individual educational programs for older citizens, based on their educational interests and needs.
Numerous questions from the participants of the seminar were answered by the speakers and the head of the Projects Department in the field of well-being and longevity of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow Alexander Bodrov.

In addition, the curriculum will include the development of computers and mobile applications, the study of foreign languages, the basics of financial and legal literacy.
Classes will be held twice a week at social service centers at the place of residence and at the sites of the Moscow City Pedagogical University. Each group will have 15-20 people. It is planned that by the end of the year 2,600 pensioners will study at the university.
Acceptance of applications for participation in the educational project will open on October 16 in the territorial centers of social services for the population.
Capital pensioners will be able to get education at the first university for the elderly
An educational project called "Silver University", where pensioners can learn foreign languages for free, learn a computer or get a working specialty, starts in Moscow on November 1, according to the website of the Moscow City Hall on Friday.
“Our goal is to extend their [pensioners'] creative and professional longevity by organizing cultural and educational leisure,” Vladimir Petrosyan, head of the department of labor and social protection of the population of the city, quotes the portal. “Silver University will give pensioners the opportunity to study what they could not master before due to lack of time.”
It is noted that Muscovites of retirement age can become participants in the project, they will be able to master a computer, learn foreign languages, and also get a working specialty (for example, nannies or landscapers of urban areas).
Petrosyan clarified that the training program was developed jointly with the Moscow City Pedagogical University, and classes will be held both directly in social service centers at the place of residence and at the university's sites. Until the end of the year, 2,600 pensioners will be able to receive training, lessons will be held at least twice a week.
Details
Senior students will be able to enroll in one of five faculties: Humanities, Mass Communications and Informatics, Culture and Creativity, Health and Safety, or Psychological Personal Support.
At the Faculty of Humanities, older people will learn the basics of spoken English and German, the history and culture of Moscow, and also get acquainted with the peculiarities of volunteer work. At the same faculty, such a profession as a green farm worker will be trained.
During classes at the Faculty of Mass Communications and Informatics, pensioners will be explained how the modern information space works, they will be taught how to use gadgets, and they will be told about the basics of journalism. At the Faculty of Culture and Creativity, practical classes in dance and needlework will be held. Here you can also learn the profession of a doll maker.
Students of the Faculty of Health and Safety will take courses on Fundamentals of Financial and Legal Literacy, Healthy Swimming, and Food Instead of Medicines. And at the Faculty of Psychology, older people will learn how to prevent and resolve conflicts, as well as overcome psychological barriers in communication. Here, pensioners will be able to get the profession of a nanny.
The duration of general education programs will be from 24 to 36 hours. Up to 160 hours are allotted for training in working specialties. In addition to theoretical and practical classes, students will be able to attend trainings and master classes of specialists in specific areas. In addition, festivals, creative evenings and evenings of rest will be held at the university.
Pensioners do not shine a quiet old age. A number of national and regional projects are aimed at encouraging the social activity of the elderly.
Gray hair in a beard - running to the desk
Recently, the state has taken up the education of the elderly. Education is free, and the programs are designed taking into account the capabilities of gray-haired students. You can find out what and where exactly to get an education in your territorial social security authority. They will also help you navigate in the regional branch of the "Union of Pensioners of Russia" ( websitewww.rospensioner.ru , phone numbers of the central office in Moscow: 651-38-69, 651-38-68).
The country is aging, and the state is opening a new page in its attitude towards pensioners, - explains the head of the Union of Pensioners of Russia, State Duma deputy Valery Ryazansky. - A retired person cannot be left alone with thoughts and pills.
Forms, faculties and methods of diverting from sad thoughts are different in each region. For example, in Chelyabinsk, 60-70-year-old students of the People's University of the Knowledge Society learn computer literacy in the regional library. As, by the way, in Moscow. In Kolomna, at the People's University, an elderly person can study throughout his life. The oldest listener is 87 years old, ladies predominate.
At the nuclear shipbuilding center in Severodvinsk, pensioners are taught at the University of Seniors (don't smile, this is the official name) "Golden Age". Northern seniors are taught the art of crocheting, tapestry weaving, choral singing, and financial literacy. If desired, former submarine builders can learn carving skills. What is carving? Imagine: the art of artistic cutting of vegetables and fruits.
Anti-wrinkle laptop
The project "Computer Academy for Pensioners" was created by military pensioner Sergey Avdevnin. He is a doctor by profession, was born in the Volgograd region, served in Transbaikalia, in Mongolia, a participant in hostilities as part of the UN contingent and a Chernobyl liquidator. Now lives in Donetsk. The veteran has mastered website building and teaches the elderly for free.
On the website of a computer educational program (www.pc-pensioneru.ru), he clearly explains what a browser and a text editor are, how to register a mailbox, and conduct personal correspondence. And in general - teaches how to earn extra money on the Internet instead of the banal work as a night watchman.
By the way, in the Kursk region, they decided to educate 3,000 pensioners at universities for the elderly, providing a choice of six faculties: computer science, gardening, health, culture and art, law, and spiritual revival.
Do you think the elderly are all lined up for gardening? Not at all. Gardening took only third place in the ranking of the preferences of the elderly. On the second - spiritual revival. And the majority rushed to the Faculty of Informatics.
The reliance of the elderly on high technology is a useful trend. Perhaps the first address that a person retiring should remember is the portal of state and municipal services: www.gosuslugi.ru/ru. You need to start with the "Retirement" section and then go through all the resources of interest: obtaining certificates, medicines, benefits.
For a well-deserved rest
In addition to the list of benefits provided by the state, there are many age-related discount programs.
Each city and region has its own offers. And this means that you will have to find out on your own which days and in which theaters and cinemas tickets are sold at a discount. Museums also offer discounts for senior citizens.
For example, a regular entrance ticket to the Tretyakov Gallery costs 300 rubles. For a pensioner, a visit to the complex in Lavrushinsky Lane costs only 70 rubles. The entrance to the exhibition halls of the Engineering Corps is slightly more expensive - 80 rubles.
Ticket to the Main Museum Complex of the Hermitage - 400 rubles. Senior citizens are admitted free of charge.
Many travel agencies, shipping companies and air carriers offer discounts for older travelers. Often this is a way to attract customers in the so-called. "low season", and, according to the press secretary of the Russian Union of Travel Industry Irina Tyurina, mass retirement tourism - in the sense that it is understood in the US and the European Union - is almost non-existent in Russia. As a pleasant exception, the PCT cites the Winter in Tunisia program (nuveltrans.com/tunisia-tours-menu-main.html).
They are offered by the Moscow company Nouvel Trans, a major Russian operator in Tunisia, explains Irina Tyurina.
The firm has agreed with three four-star hotels in Sousse and Hammamet. In winter, it is 15-20 degrees in the shade, fresh vegetables and fruits, a good level of local medicine. Tours are designed for rest up to 85 days, the cost of the most expensive tour for double occupancy in a room is $ 2,300. Included flight, two meals a day. If you choose a short (up to a month) vacation, then a visa is not needed.
As a bonus, the firm gives SIM cards to a local telephone company, which cost 300 rubles for a 30-minute call with Russia, and all incoming calls are free.
For the first time such tours were offered three years ago, since then more than a thousand Russians aged 60 to 85 have spent the winter in Africa. The company says that the majority of clients are intelligent pensioners - former teachers, institute lecturers, professors. Previously, pensioners were taken by charters and Turkish Airlines, now they fly with Air France and Alitalia liners: a flight with a connection in Paris or Rome takes five hours.
For a pensioner, almost 70 thousand rubles is decent money, but children and grandchildren help out. By the way, having mastered the computer and learning English, you can independently, without the help of travel agencies, find discounts and book hotels around the world. For less money, it is quite possible to comfortably spend the winter in Thailand or Venezuela.
And in general, who said that a Russian pensioner is necessarily a poor and sick person? The author of these lines met a married couple in Portugal: Muscovites live in a dacha, rent a city apartment and fly to different parts of the world 3-4 times a year for income. Traveled half the world. Between trips they live like everyone else - honestly and modestly, and exclusively on pension.
And how are they
In every country there are hotels and seasons when the elderly are given solid discounts. February in Bermuda is for those over 50. In Switzerland, the season for pensioners (women over 62 and men over 65) is from October to March.
Some do not wait for mercy from above and fight wrinkles with all available means.
Galina Chuvina, a wardrobe keeper from the city pool from Sasovo (Ryazan region), after her retirement became interested in sports throwing knives. And set two world records.
The oldest DJ on the planet was our man: a member of the duet DJ s Krugozory Boris Karaulov. He started his career as a DJ at 60. He got up every day at 4.00, set aside two hours for physical education. The most famous composition: "Everything will not end with old age." He died last year of a stroke at the age of 72.
Retirement in numbers
The country has 30.7 million citizens over the working age (22.1 million women and 8.6 million men). Of these, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, 8 million are working, 12 million are ready to go to work.
The average earnings of a working pensioner man last year were 19.6 thousand rubles, women - 13.7 thousand. Pension - 6.5 and 6 thousand, respectively.
A pensioner suffers simultaneously from 5-7 chronic diseases. Out of 100 old people, 8 never leave their houses and apartments, and 5 are bedridden.
A new educational project for older citizens called the Silver University will start in Moscow on November 1. Its participants will be Muscovites of retirement age: men over 60 years old, women over 55 years old. At the Silver University, they can not only have an interesting time, but also acquire knowledge and skills that improve the quality of their lives.
For example, to master a computer and mobile applications, learn foreign languages, comprehend the basics of financial and legal literacy. At the Silver University, it will be possible to get the profession of a nanny, a doll maker or a landscaper of urban areas. Acceptance of applications for free education will begin on October 16 at the territorial centers of social services for the population (TSSO).
The training program was developed jointly with the Moscow City Pedagogical University. When it was created, the specialists were based on surveys conducted in the TCSO among the elderly. Such monitoring helped to determine the sphere of interest of the capital's pensioners.
Classes will be held both directly in social service centers at the place of residence, and at the sites of the Moscow City Pedagogical University. They are located in eight metropolitan districts - Western, Southwestern, Central, Eastern, Northeastern, Northern, Northwestern and Zelenogradsky. Each group will have 15-20 people. It is expected that by the end of the year 2,600 pensioners will study at the university.
Recall that 3 million elderly people live in Moscow - this is a quarter of the adult population of the city. The goal of the authorities' efforts is to prolong their creative and professional longevity.
