Students from the GEN2062 Community Activities for Seniors course, in partnership with SG Cares, are reviving the kampong spirit at Singapore’s Active Ageing Centres and Senior Care Centres. Over 15 sessions in six months, student groups design and lead activities that bring seniors in the precinct together. These activities, tailored to the needs of these seniors, focus on promoting physical, cognitive, and psychosocial well-being while fostering a strong sense of community.

As the project progresses, students form meaningful relationships with the seniors, strengthening intergenerational care and support. The journey culminates in a heartfelt farewell, where responsibilities are handed over to the next cohort of students, ensuring continuity of care. This celebration of shared memories and friendships is often also the most well-attended session. Check out the chart below to see some examples of activities planned by the students!
