Among the key events is the XVII Annual Scientific and Practical Conference with international participation “Pushkov Readings”. During the conference, a number of workshops on various topics will be held: assessing the mobility of an elderly person using functional tests, a safe environment in a multidisciplinary hospital, psychological safety of patients with dementia, etc.

On October 13, 2023, the Conference of volunteers and concerned people “Helping is Easy” will take place, and will include 3 sections:

“Workshops”: within the section there will be workshops, trainings and other activities aimed at developing personal qualities and “soft skills” of young people.

The competition program is represented by traditional events that are held at the Forum site not for the first time. Among them, the competition for dancers of elegant age “Dance while you’re young!” is particularly spectacular and emotional; this year’s dance numbers are dedicated to the theme “Masterpieces of Russian Literature in Dance”. And the city intellectual tournament “What? Where? When?” with questions on the topic “Around the World” will bring together those who are ready to show off their intellect.

As part of the sports program, a festival of recreational gymnastics “Saint Petersburg Grace” will be held, which will present sports classes in aerobics, wushu, yoga and other areas to visitors.

The festival program also includes open workshops on arts and crafts, computer literacy and working with a smartphone, educational lectures and quizzes, a fashion show of “silver age” models and performances by creative dance, choral and stage groups.
