For the older generation in Kazakhstan, social work organizers focus on a rich, warm, and truly humane leisure: evenings filled with songs, dances, and conversations become not just a one-time event, but a part of the usual rhythm of life. What happened Summer evenings for the older generation took place in an atmosphere of creativity and friendly communication. People sang their favorite songs, danced, shared memories, and simply talked to each other — exactly what is sometimes so lacking in everyday life. Such meetings help maintain a positive spirit, support social connections, and remind us that an active and fulfilling life knows no age limits. The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan pays special attention to creating conditions for such a life. This work covers several areas: providing social services, supporting public activity, and creating opportunities for communication, creativity, and meaningful leisure. Who it concerns First and foremost — older people who want to remain active, meet peers, develop hobbies, and feel part of a large community. This is not only about those who already use social services but also about everyone for whom communication, support, and the opportunity to spend time interestingly are important. Indirectly, the topic also concerns relatives — children, grandchildren, neighbors. When there is a place nearby where the older generation feels needed and valued, it reduces the risk of loneliness and helps maintain the emotional well-being of the entire family. Where such leisure is organized One of the important areas of work is the development of active longevity centers. Today, there are 132 such centers operating across Kazakhstan. These are venues where the older generation can communicate, engage in creativity, participate in events, and find like-minded individuals. Such centers most often become the venue for summer evenings: they provide space for meetings, support from organizers, and, importantly, a friendly atmosphere that brings people together around common interests. What to do if you want to join If you or your loved ones want to participate in such meetings, you should start with a few simple steps: - Find out about the nearest active longevity center. Information about the operation of centers and social services is published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the RK. - Check the schedule of events. Evenings, creative activities, and meetings usually follow a specific schedule — find out the convenient time in advance. - Come with a mindset for communication. Such formats are built on live interaction: songs, dances, conversations, and joint creativity. - Tell your loved ones. Sometimes, family support is enough for a person to decide to attend the first meeting. Why it is important Active longevity is not only about health but also about quality of life, a sense of being needed, and the joy of communication. Summer evenings filled with songs and dances clearly show that the older generation can and wants to live brightly, and the task of society and the state is to create conditions for this. The development of a network of active longevity centers and attention to meaningful leisure make such a life more accessible.
