Abstract

The problems of self-actualization can be called 'eternal' in the history of humanitarian thought. The complexity and contradictory character of self-actualization predetermines a variety of definitions of this scientific term. Self-actualization of elderly people is not an exception, as it has the highest rank in the hierarchy of needs. Retirement drastically changes not only the lifestyle but also the person's social position. Thus, the participation of the state is important. The People's Department of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (NGTU) is an example of such participation of the state.
This is a new form of the social work with pensioners, which helps them to keep their activity and adapt to quickly developing information space.
