Program Features

The project built a virtual intergenerational art learning platform, so seniors and children or youths can join this platform and built e-families. E-families will connect seniors with younger generations.

We will also train senior volunteers, which will help e-families establish weekly gatherings. During the gathering sessions, e-families developed empathetic partners to release senior and children's mental stress at an early stage, conducted visual journaling practices, shared art learning skills and share artworks for the "e-family art gallery".
