Esil University Students Visited the Active Longevity Center

With the aim of gaining practical familiarity with the activities of social institutions, first-year students of the Social Work educational programme at Esil University participated in a field session conducted at the State Communal Enterprise "Active Longevity Centre" of the city of Astana.

During the session, students familiarized themselves with the Centre's areas of work, learned about the services provided to elderly citizens, and participated in interactive activities aimed at strengthening intergenerational connections. Representatives of the institution shared information about the social projects being implemented, leisure organization activities, and psychological support for elderly people.

Of particular interest to students was the opportunity to interact with the residents of the Centre, which enabled future specialists to gain a better understanding of the specificities of working with this category of the population. Such field-based lessons contribute to the formation of professional competencies, the development of empathy, and the strengthening of students' practical skills in the field of social work.
