im concerned about the problem regarding language barrier, so ig yall would have already noted that. hmm, though this project is ngl substantially ambitious. imo it will either work very well or go stale. probably your candidate selection has to be specific but who am i to judge lol. ehhh, it looks tough in theory but i think it can be pulled off pretty well. should try arts and crafts or culinary arts as mentioned, as it is something that can bridge both groups of ppl together. very intuitive.

I\'m a Sports science graduate working in an organisation that deals with youths, special needs individuals and adults One undeniable way to forge better bonds, has always been to integrate exercise as a SOCIAL activity. The start will definitely be a bit rocky but long-term benefits include: Increased Psychosocial skills Increased interaction between generations Ability to understand and integrate habits that either generations arw accustomed to

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Not only for the elderly to learn but also a point for them to contribute and give back by teaching the younger generation how to cook for instance. Even things like sewing would be something interesting too.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

This project sounds so wholesome! I personally feel that a way to bring both gens closer would be to integrate something that the grandparents were interested in in their youth into their mini project as it blends both the old content with the new platform. As it is a platform already more alien to the grandparent, sharing about something they\'re interested in with their grandchild would certainly liven them up and also make them more interested in the project as they share their expertise and experience in the activity. I would love to have had this when my grandparents were still present, so I do hope this benefits the families you will be having participate. Amazing work, guys!

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

The elderly experience declining physical and mental capabilities as a result of ageing. Perhaps it is good to design simplified applications with easy-to-use interface (big fonts, bright colours, audio output/input) that can aid in both the elderly and grandchildren to enjoy and interact effectively. Kahoot-type games might be a good start!

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Providing a framework for both youths and grandparents to engage each other so that both parties will know how to better communicate and interact with each other while avoiding communication barriers and pitfalls. Providing a curated source of education and training materials as a basis for participants to utilize while also creating an open sourced platform for participants to contribute and share their own content that could be reviewed for improvements and used by others in their own learning journey.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

I like the thought of being able to participate in digital workshops with our grandparents. However I do have some concerns about the project which i hope your team would take into consideration. Firstly, I\'m not sure how a 4 weeks program will be able to equip both the grandparents and the youths with sufficient skills to complete the project. What is the duration of each training session and also frequency of the sessions? Second, rather than having one team consisting of one grandparent and one youth, perhaps it would be better to have the team consisting of two grandparents and two youths, such that the burden will not fall largely on the youth alone to complete the project. Bear in mind that some of our parents themselves are quite helpless at digital technology as well , and guiding them through some simple technological tasks often take ages. Since the target audience of such program is the elderly, it will take even longer for them to pick up the skills. This new pairing would give the youths another person to brainstorm with, and for the grandparents, an opportunity to make a new friend. Third, how are you going to convince grandparents to join this program with their grandchildren, especially when there is a lack of interaction and perhaps difficulty in communication between them? There won\'t be such an issue if the grandparents and grandchildren are very close in the first place, but i believe that is not the case for the majority. Fourth, how are the digital skills relevant to the elderly? Your team has listed digital art, videography, and photography as some of the possible skills to learn. While these skills seems very interesting and relevant to us, will the elderly be willing to commit themselves to learn these skills when it may not be something they will put into practice outside of the course. Bear in mind that some of the older generation are less receptive to learning new things, and some may even lack the equipments (e.g. camera phones) to continue practicing these skills outside of the course. Perhaps your team could look into working with community partners to give each set of participants camera phones etc.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

maybe step by step guides can be provided to elderly so that they can use it even after the sessions

Allow the elderly to have a big say and contribution in the project, introducing a concept from their generation and reengineer it in a digital form and explain the benefits of digitalising it, eg the elderly may enjoy puppet show, while the youth can help to capture, edit and add special effects and share it on social media to bring it into the digital realm, helps the elderly to see how new life can be brought in and shared with more audience for them to enjoy anytime with power of the Internet

There has been a lot already being done. now it’s just time to wait for the changes to happen. However, u guys can actually start up some sort of events or even bring up some “offers” where the youth and elderly has to bond to get something.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Create bonding games

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

The digital art and videography activities being mentioned could revolve around the generation of the elderly! For example, the videography activities could be done with the younger generation trying out activities from the older generation such as engaging in games like zero point, gasing and carrom! This way both generation can experience something new while being engaged

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Great job to the group in identifying this intergenerational gap and wanting to act on this. I feel that this intergenerational divide is caused by the difficulty that elderly face in learning how to utilize technology. Based on the project description as well as the progress so far, it seems like the group can focus more on the elderly\'s pain points in learning and adopting technology into their daily lives. More user interviews should be done with the elderly in identifying these pain points and discussing with them potential ways that could benefit them the most. With this understanding, the masterclasses that the group wish to plan for could be much more targeted, and the youths will be able to guide the elderly much better as well.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

it is a very interesting initiative , but i was just wondering about the sustainability. you guys could use resources that already exists like CC or RCs

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Include an external facilitator who specialise in interpersonal communication. This will help bridge the gap between the elderly and the youth.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Not sure how willing the seniors are to learn new digital skills

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Some grandparents may not be willing to learn new technology as they see it as a waste of time. Rather than a digital literacy lesson, it may be better to market it as a fun bonding activity. Grandparents and the children could play simple games online such as Threes. And once they get used to the computer controls (clicking, hovering, etc.) they can move on to more complex tasks like creating a PowerPoint slide or buying something online. Videography and photography are interesting, however this may be a little advanced (and rather daunting) for elderly that have no prior experience with such technologies.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Tailor the pairings of youth-to-elderly so that interests are met, as much as possible!

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

When this is official, who will be the initiating party? Who applies for the programme? If it\'s the parents, maybe you should speak with the parents to understand how their children are interacting with their grandparents and what kind of activities do they do usually.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

As not everyone has the same learning pace, instead of a fixed 4 weeks to learn and then complete a project, there could be a system where the elderly is being monitored on their progress and only participate in the final project when they have completed their learning journey.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

There should be more courses to create bonding . I don\'t see the issue with digital gap . To each his own , I only feel we should encourage open communication . When one is opened , things get done .

Will be hard to make both elderly and youth interested in digital upskilling

Youth can invite their grandparents to participate the activities together.

How can we make this program sustainable? I don\'t think the elderly have the physical and mental capacity to handle digital platforms for long periods of time, it might either bore them or frustrate them. Perhaps the elderly can help with the content creation rather than with the digitalisation

Providing certificates that may be recognised by the industry which might help the youths or elderly find jobs if they ever need to.

WLD is a great idea, to help the youths and elderly bond and help the elderly learn to adapt digitally. While reading through, I realized that I bond well with my grandma over watching cooking videos to decide our next menu, and online shopping! - I feel that depending on how often the programme will be held across the 4 weeks & how digitally savvy the elderly is prior to this programme, the objectives to be met might have to be adjusted. Thinking back to the times when I have to teach my grandparents how to use a smart phone, it took repetitive teachings and reminders for them to get the hang of taking photos, viewing it in gallery and making phone calls. - I also feel that it is important to firstly show and teach the elderly how they can use the digital skills to elevate their day to day, and how it improves their lives. Especially for those who are closed off to the idea of digital enhancement. Good luck! :)

more incentives for the elderly to join this programme since they may not have the motivation to learn

Interview the elderly as well to get their opinions on what they would like to do and how they would like to spend more time with their youths.

As mentioned above, activities that can be done during festive seasons will have less obstacles. Seniors generally don\'t want to be burdens and so this activity must make them feel as if they\'re helping out and doing something positive - to HELP the youth.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Important to interview elderlies, especially those who are living alone or do not have strong social support as they are the ones who will benefit the most from this initiative.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Knowing how to communicate with elderly is important. In our current generation, a lot of us use English to communicate but many elderly including my grandparents do not understand English so it\'s quite difficult to communicate to them if English is the only language used.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Have both digital and non-digital components so that elderlies that are not familiar with electronics won’t be too stressed out.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

I feel that the elderly will not be able to cope if they do not know how to use the computer well, let alone use the other softwares needed for eg: videography. Turning on the computer and transferring pictures from phone to the computer can be difficult for those who don’t know how to use the computer .. Digital photography sounds the best esp when the focus can be on what type of photos the elderly like to take as well exploring sg/ places to take pic tgt - the focus then can be on the story telling behind the pic and how it bonds both the old and young. And the young can tend teach the old regarding the cool filters/photoshops, this way they can appreciate the before and final products.

I believe this is a very interesting idea where elderly and youths are partnered together to do a project. However, I am concern with the timeframe as it can be quite long, and the adoption mechanism maybe challenging. Activities which currently succeeding in uniting youths and the elderly could be capitalized to incorporate into the programme (e.g. cooking lessons of signature and old local dishes, festival events and etc) - kind of like hyperlocalization but in this case narrowing down to the demographics.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

make sure to standardise the language, pick youth with same dialect. also, make sure elderly can take up an easier role while youth can solve challenging tasks. this way elderly feel engaged while not challenged too much as their mental capability has weakened. for elderly who are not able to walk to venue, can send youth to their home place instead.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Have to observe. Different youths and elderies have different likings. It all depends.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

i think have to think of more ways in marketing outreach/incentives for the elderly side to want to join if not they wouldn’t really be very interested or bother to put in the effort

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Let the elderly choose which digital skills they have an interest in or may help them. Teach them from the basics and have someone who is experienced with dialects/interacting with the elderly conduct the lesson

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Perhaps look into streamlining your project and identifying digital skills of the elderly - at the moment it seems too broad. You can have an elderly without any literacy skills at all - for example, someone who can\'t read anything at all - what would be the curriculum for that elderly? Also, what would be the incentive for the youth to participate in this project?

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Appreciate this initiative to foster the relationship between youths and elderly. As much as we hope the elderly be engaged in the world we are now in, I believe they too hope that we can understand the world they grew up in and maybe relive them to enjoy the moments together with them.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

You could do a study to determine what kind of digital skills the elderly actually want to learn. For example, are the elderly interested in learning: digital art, videography, photography? I would think they would be more interested in how to use Facebook, Whatsapp and other social media to connect with their children/grandchildren. I also think elderly would want to learn how to do tasks like banking, buying groceries, necessities online. For this question \'What is a major reason for the intergenerational divide?\' you should allow more than one answer. If the reason for the intergenerational divide is Difficulty in communication, I do not see how your solution address this.

People born 60 years ago today lived a very different life and lived through a very different rite-of-passage that shaped who they are today. Do not underestimate their views of the world today. What they lack in new knowledge, they make up for in experience. Make the collaboration a two-way communication, identify their unique experiences that are beneficial to youths and vice versa.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

WLD sounds like fun! Perhaps you can also consider a way (maybe an additional class?) to help youths and elderly learn effective communication and interaction with one another. That way the projects can potentially progress smoother. Apart from just having one-off projects. A platform for youths and elderly to interact on consistently can be a good to keep the relationship close/intimate :) Otherwise, I think this idea is pretty innovative 👍

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

I do not think that we will require technology in this matter to improve communications amongst generations. IMO, the main problem steps from poor or lack of communications, which in turn becomes a barrier in their relationship. Preparing a daily meal, or learning some old-traditional, such as making rice dumpling, tutu kueh, etc. can improve the relationship, leading to better communications, and greater bonds. Be more open-minded, do not judge, and be more patient.

Photography is an activity that people of all ages take part in. The younger generation is well versed in the art and the elderly are increasingly interested in snapping away with their mobile devices. Coupled with other activities popular among the elderly such as morning walks in the park, touring around Singapore, and relaxing at hawker centres or coffee shops, there is an opportunity for both generations to interact over landscape, cityscape and portrait photography. In addition, a follow-up event could be held to take things one step further and teach the elderly how to use filters or photo editing software like Lightroom.
