Fostering Empathy and Responsibility: S4 Elderly Open Day Preparation
On November 6, our SAGC Voluntary Team ( Value Education Team) successfully organized a meaningful preparation workshop for the upcoming S4 "Elderly Open Day." The event was designed to build empathy and equip students with practical skills to serve the senior community, perfectly aligning with this academic year’s Value Education theme: Responsibility.
During the sensory aging experience, students wore blurred glasses and thick gloves to complete tasks like sorting coins. This hands-on activity allowed them to deeply understand the physical limitations faced by the elderly. Following this, students were highly engaged in group discussions. Divided into five teams, they proactively shared creative ideas and applied the "Observe, Slow down, Praise" technique to design elderly-friendly activities.
The workshop was highly meaningful, teaching students that true responsibility means actively caring for others and contributing to an inclusive society. With such enthusiastic participation and thoughtful preparation, both teachers and students are eagerly looking forward to the actual Elderly Open Day.
