This school holiday, our activity center was abuzz with vibrant intergenerational learning as seniors and children connected through the Hokkien dialect and creative crafts. Seniors shared their cultural knowledge, teaching children essential Hokkien phrases. Participants learned how to address family members, name numbers, animals, and fruits, and use everyday greetings—skills that empower them to converse more effectively with their families.

Adding a creative twist, the children became teachers, guiding seniors through fun craft-making activities. The role reversal sparked joy and curiosity, with both generations learning from and encouraging each other.

The sessions fostered a lively atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciation while deepening connections between generations. Everyone left with a renewed sense of cultural pride, valuable language skills, and unique handmade crafts as keepsakes of the day.

We look forward to more such enriching programs that bring together seniors and children for shared learning and joyous exchanges.

FaithActs partnered Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) to educate our seniors on the usage of the various mobile apps such as Healthy 365, PayNow, myCPF, NLB, SingPass and MyTransportSG. They went "back to school" to attend lectures and they were guided one-to-one. The seniors thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and are now more knowledgeable on using the apps.

This is a collaboration between NP and the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO) to drive the digital transformation in a collective approach towards building a smart nation.
