The conference had 8 presentations discussing the results of promoting the role of the elderly in the movement to build cultural families, contributing to building elegant and civilized Hanoians in Bach Mai ward; advantages and difficulties of the elderly in implementing and carrying out the set of behavioral criteria in the family; recommendations and proposals for all levels to support the elderly in promoting their role in building and developing family culture in sports and tourism ; suggestions for building good models suitable for the topic.

Mr. Vo Duy Cu (Elderly Association No. 9, Hai Ba Trung Ward) believes that it is necessary to always consolidate and strengthen solidarity within the Elderly Association and the residential group community. In the family, grandparents and parents must be truly exemplary in all aspects, truly a shining example for their children and grandchildren to follow. In particular, he believes that reading and learning through books is very beneficial, so he suggests that each family should have a bookshelf, choosing books suitable for each age group to build.

Ms. Le Thi Luyen (Association 18, former Vinh Tuy Ward) said that the association always focuses on encouraging members to set an example and remind their children and grandchildren to perform civilized weddings and funerals in the locality. Thanks to that, up to now, funerals have been performed with cremation rituals, and over 85% of elderly families have achieved the title of "Cultural Family". "Many elderly families have three or four generations living together but are still united, with filial children who respect their grandparents and parents. Thereby, the role of the elderly in building a cultural lifestyle in the community has been promoted..."

Speaking at the program, Head of the Department of Cultural and Family Lifestyle (Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports) Bui Minh Hoang highly appreciated the two topics chaired by the Association of the Elderly, which were very accurate, correct, and suitable for the role of the elderly, suitable for the new era.
