Nizhny Novgorod trains 1,000 officers to bridge gaps with residents

A new training programme for social district officers has taken place in Nizhny Novgorod. The sessions aim to strengthen communication between authorities and residents while tackling local obstacles. Nearly 1,000 officers are now part of the project, which launched in spring 2023.

The intensive training covered housing, utilities, and conflict resolution. Officers analysed real-life case studies to enhance their skills in managing emotional situations. Theoretical courses also addressed daily hurdles they face on the job.

The programme includes modules on persuasive argumentation, stress management, and client-focused service. These skills are designed to help officers act as a bridge between residents and public services. Further lectures are already planned for 2026.

The initiative aligns with the federal State for the People strategy. Its goal is to build trust and assist citizens with social and municipal issues. By deepening their expertise, officers aim to become more effective in engaging with the community.

The project continues to grow since its launch last year. With nearly 1,000 officers now trained, the focus remains on practical skills for real-world hurdles. Future sessions will further develop their ability to support residents and local services.
