One of the most popular areas of the project “Moscow Longevity” “Walking Lecture Hall” remains. For example, in the spring, some tour guides prepared routes dedicated to Easter traditions and Victory Day for older city residents. Participants learn about life in Moscow during the war, the everyday life of residents and its heroes. The project guides constantly conduct research work to show the capital from an unexpected side.
During the walks, the tourists immerse themselves in different historical eras, get acquainted with the architecture, famous personalities of the present and the past, learn new facts about their hometown, discover the secrets of estates and their inhabitants, visit parks and squares. At the same time, they improve their health by walking more steps per day. Currently, more than 800 groups are open within the framework of the “Walking Lecture” direction.
In addition to the classic routes, the guides of Moscow Longevity constantly develop thematic excursions, dedicating them to historical figures, events, significant dates and even different seasons.
“Developing one route can take from one evening to several months. To make it interesting and informative, I study historical documents, memoirs, and go to libraries. Sometimes, excursionists bring various magazines or share stories. The project participants are such an interested audience that they often make the route bright and diverse. I notice that people with an active life position and a large amount of knowledge go on excursions. By summer, I am developing a new route along the embankments, between two bridges – Bolshie Kamenny and Moskvoretsky, which I will present to the participants in May,” shared Elena Alyabyeva, a tour guide.
The walks are adapted for senior citizens and last no more than two hours. The guides note that weather conditions do not stop the participants of the Moscow Longevity project. Thus, Muscovite Svetlana Kuzmina said that she tries to attend the excursions every week and has introduced her neighbor to this activity. Now Svetlana has a lot of free time, which she tries to spend usefully for self-development and self-education. The excursions inspired her to take courses in art history.
Under the guidance of professional guides, even familiar places in the capital are revealed in a new way. For example, tour guide Elena Leonova has developed 10 routes along the well-known Tverskaya Street and its alleys. Project participants visit not only the historical center, but also new, improved areas and public spaces, where they get acquainted with the modern life of the city.
“The excursion participants really like the routes that are far from the center, the unusual places. For example, I developed a route through my own district – Yasenevo. It turned out that even those who live nearby have not seen the Yasenevo estate with its rich history. But even on the widely known historical streets there is a place for amazing and little-known facts. In total, I have more than 100 original routes for the participants of “Moscow Longevity” and several are in development. For example, on the eve of the holiday, I prepared the route “Easter Moscow”, – added Elena Leonova.
The project also includes several different routes dedicated to the theatrical and literary life of the city. Thus, guests can find out where the first theater appeared in the capital, in which restaurants actors and patrons celebrated premieres. They will also walk through the favorite places of writers and literary heroes.
All interested senior Muscovites are invited to join the classes in the “Walking Lecture” direction. You can choose a group and immediately sign up for it atmos.ru portal or by contacting any Moscow longevity center.
