Motto 

Cogito Ergo Sum - I think, therefore, I exist.

The Silver Age is a spiritually and intellectually rich period of a person's life. The time has come to comprehend the lived, wise attitude to the world and the need to adapt to the changes taking place in it. Based on this, the goal, objectives and principles of the Silver University have been formed. The aim is to keep older people connected to meaningful and active social contexts later in life in the new network-centric society and smart spaces.

Tasks of the Silver University programm:

• To create favorable conditions for self-education and self-improvement at the group and individual level for the effective adaptation of older people in modern life.
• To help maintain a circle and flow of communication and communication with peers, which are often so lacking in the representatives of the Silver age.
• Maintain a positive attitude towards life through creative activities.
• Motivate for physical activity.
• Contribute to building harmonious relations between the representatives of the silver age with family members and society.
• Improve legal and financial literacy.
• Increase digital literacy by helping to master modern technical means and information technologies to adapt to the conditions of a digital society.
• To organize training in a sparing mode.

Principles of the Silver University programm:

• Hermeneutic education is an orientation not to knowledge, but to understanding.
• Orientation towards understanding and formalizing one's own accumulated life and professional experience, and not towards gaining experience.
• Worldview education and self-education is focused not on ontological replenishment, but on the design and rethinking of one's own intellectual baggage.
• User skills and abilities, primarily focused on self-service.

At Al-Farabi KazNU, the concept of the Silver University is implemented through the passage of representatives of the Silver University online courses posted on the official educational online platform of the University - OpenKazNU (https://open.kaznu.kz/ ).
