Young Time Traveler

Time Travel is a simulation programme on ageing for the younger generation, which aims at promoting empathy and acceptance for elders in our society. It targets all students from primary to tertiary, bringing participants an early taste of old age. Participants are strapped to gears that mimic age-related impairments, and are asked to perform simple tasks, experiencing the daily challenges elders face. Participants are then engaged in a meaningful debriefing and discussion session to reflect on their feelings and behaviour towards elders, gaining a better insight into the physical and psychological needs of elders and reflection on the cross-age relationship.
