Cross-generation Simulation 身歷「耆」境

Have you ever wondered what your life might be like when you’re old? In this activity, you’ll step into the daily routines of an older person and discover the challenges they navigate. It’s a chance to build empathy and understand why supporting older adults truly matters.

Come join this simulation experience and see what it’s really like to live as an older person!

你曾想像過自己步入老年時的生活模樣嗎？當身體逐漸老化，我們會面對哪些日常挑戰呢？
在這項高齡體驗活動中，你將親身感受長者的日常生活情況，體驗身體機能退化所帶來的限制，從而加深對長者處境的理解，培養同理心，並學習尊重與關懷長者。
