Senior education programs enrich elderly residents’lives in Linyi

Linyi has formed a multi-level senior education network covering urban communities and villages to satisfy diverse spiritual and cultural demands of elderly residents. Local senior universities and community learning stations offer systematic courses including painting, calligraphy, folk instrumental music, Tai Chi and digital skills training, creating regular communication and hobby cultivation platforms for seniors.

A wealth of free public learning resources are accessible across urban and rural areas. Seasonal themed research trips, cultural galas and group activities are held on a regular basis, effectively enriching retirees’spare time, boosting physical and mental wellness and alleviating loneliness among the elderly.

Linyi takes active aging and lifelong education as key livelihood priorities. The city will continuously upgrade grassroots learning venues for seniors, roll out diversified cultural programs and build an inclusive, age-friendly urban and rural community ecosystem.
