The movie about those, who are young at heart

OSU student has become a winner of "Molody dushoi" ("young at heart"), All-Russia contest that supports social projects — and has won a grant of 140 000 rubles to bring her idea into life.

The contest had 678 participants — volunteers, leaders and heads of social non-profit organization and associations from 72 regions of Russia, with only 42 participants reaching the final. One of them is Anna Skovikova, an OSU student from the Institute of Innovations in Social Sciences and Humanities and Massmedia. She has won a certificate of 140 rubles to implement her idea.

The young student plans to film a documentary feature about elderly volunteers that will help retired senior people to learn about opportunities for self-development and communication with young people. The main character of the documentary will be Lyudmila Gakh, a senior volunteer from Orenburg; the documentary will also feature other active Russian people over 55.
