In recent years, informal learning has become a crucial element of Kazakhstan's higher education system. One unique example of its implementation is the "Silver University" program, aimed at educating and upskilling senior citizens. This initiative blends traditional educational methods with innovative approaches, fostering the development of a new form of adult learning.

What is Informal Learning?

 Informal learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge and skills outside of standard academic programs.

It also includes activities that help develop social skills, which are particularly important in the context of active aging and the participation of older generations in societal life.

Benefits of Informal Learning for Older Generations

Informal learning within the "Silver University" framework not only allows seniors to acquire new knowledge and skills but also enables them to engage actively with society, sharing their life experiences with younger generations. This learning process stimulates cognitive activity, helps maintain interest in life, and improves the quality of life in older age.

Program Development Prospects

The "Silver University" program represents a significant step toward creating an inclusive education system in Kazakhstan. The integration of informal learning into the educational process helps make education more accessible and flexible for all age groups, thereby contributing to the development of a sustainable society.

Through the "Silver University" program, informal learning becomes a key tool that enables older generations to stay active and engaged in the social and cultural life of the country.
