Trainings on the use of information and communication technologies were held in Azerbaijan for a group of people over 65 years old. The trainings took place in the homes of retirees and DOST centers. The event was held within the framework of the project "Building a society for all ages: promoting the well-being of the elderly in Azerbaijan through active aging" component "Support for the use of new technologies by older people."

Members of the Sustainable and Operational Social Provision (DOST) Agency's "DOST Volunteer" program took an active part in organizing the trainings. Thus, the training coordinators selected from the "DOST Volunteer" conducted trainings for retirees at home and in "DOST" centers. During the second week of the training, a total of 500 adults were informed on "Fundamentals of Information Technology", "Use of the Internet and social networks" and "Use of electronic payments". Information brochures on each topic were distributed to participants during the training.
