The older generation is mastering digital services

Digital technologies are becoming an essential part of everyday life, and Astana is creating opportunities for older residents to use modern digital services with greater confidence and independence.

Digital literacy classes help seniors develop practical skills for everyday life. Participants learn how to use e-government services, pay utility bills online, make video calls, work with mobile applications and use social media.

Digital safety is another important part of the learning process. Residents are introduced to ways of recognising suspicious messages, protecting personal information and using online services safely.

The goal is not simply to teach people how to use a smartphone or computer, but to make everyday life more convenient and independent.

Astana’s Active Longevity Centres are part of a broader social support system for older residents. The centres offer computer classes and educational activities, with branches operating across all six districts of the capital.

A digital city is a city where new technologies are accessible to every generation.
