"We continue to develop a network of Communication Centers for the older generation and strive to create conditions in which citizens of the "silver" age could feel in demand and happy. This project is aimed at improving the quality of life of pensioners, supporting their social activity and creating opportunities for self-realization. Here you can not only learn new things, engage in creativity, but also enjoy spending time with like—minded people," said Irina Lomova, Deputy head of the regional Branch of the SFR.

It is planned to organize round tables, various educational courses, master classes, and creative meetings at the Communication Center.
