📋 Tender Overview
On the International Day of Older Persons, Rostelecom donated 100 sets of the ABC of the Internet teaching aids to the Murmansk Central City Library. The aid was developed by the company's specialists together with the Social Fund of Russia and is intended to teach computer literacy to older people.
Olga Shangina, Director of the Murmansk branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
"Teaching older people digital skills and working online means giving them the opportunity to feel more confident in the world of technology. This is the social integration that allows older people to lead an active life, stay in touch with loved ones, and access important information and services. And we support this important work - annually we transfer more than 300 printed versions of the textbook to public organizations and libraries in the region, and help coordinators with training."
During classes at the branches of the Central City Library, Murmansk pensioners will gain knowledge that is necessary in everyday life, for example, how to find the necessary information on the Internet, how to write and send an email. In addition, senior citizens will learn how to communicate online, use State Services and social services.
Mikhail Generalov, Head of the Central City Library:
"The Internet has become an integral part of the lives of children and adults. It is very important for us that the older generation is not left out. Many of our pensioners have completed training and use the knowledge they have acquired: they boldly master computers and smartphones and become active Internet users. But the need for classes is still high. We are grateful to Rostelecom for the manuals. The older generation is more accustomed to learning from books, so they need paper "ABCs" both for work in the classroom and at home - to consolidate the material."
