– In modern life, a computer is not just a useful assistant. It is a guide to a whole world of convenience, communication, creativity and interaction. And what has become an integral part of life for children aged 10-14, a simple and understandable tool, is still a new world for the older generation – for their grandparents, with whom, by the way, our young geniuses often spend most of their time. And sometimes a tool that should help, services that are designed to simplify life, make it more difficult. We consider the idea of ​​​​team training to be socially significant and important, because, in our opinion, the popularity of the IT industry is not developed enough. And our mission with Rostelecom is to bring the IT sphere closer to older people and strengthen their interest, as well as show new development paths for the younger generation. And at the junction of the burning eyes of youth and the life experience of maturity, get interesting projects. And who knows, perhaps this is where new ideas for startups will be born, which will live and develop in the coming years .



Oksana Zhukovskaya, Director of the Department of Products, Tariffs and Promotion of the MRF "Center" of PJSC Rostelecom:



– The IT Family project allows our participants not only to gain new knowledge – digital knowledge, but also to get a lot of positive emotions when communicating with their loved ones, who will be with them during the project and, in fact, teach their grandparents the digital literacy of today.



Natalia Khachko, pensioner, participant of the “IT chile whatsapp number database Family” course:

- Initially, I came here to communicate with my granddaughter, but I really couldn’t do anything with the computer. But now I see that even after the first lesson I can do much more and I’m very glad that I became a participant in the project.



Anya Khachko, 11 years old, participant of the “IT Family” course:



– I really like that my grandma can now figure out things on her own that she recently found difficult. It’s cool!
