Seniors Go!
7 videos • 606 views • by by Lien Foundation Seniors Go! is the latest initiative by the Lien Foundation. Our goals for Seniors Go! are to create a fun, safe learning space for seniors to go out of their comfort zones, and take up new challenges. We are mindful that the activities would need to be designed to be safe, taking into consideration their age profiles. At the same time, they need to provide a certain level of challenge (and exertion at times) and we are mindful that we should not oversimplify these. Through this initiative, we hope to demonstrate what is possible and to fight ageism by showing younger, able-bodied persons how an older person can also still learn and do well (or even better) in the same activity with proper training and with some extra provisions around their needs. Learning new activities and hobbies can provide seniors with a sense of fulfillment and purpose, as well as improved mental, physical, and social health. It can also help seniors stay engaged with life and continue to learn and grow throughout their later years. Using fun as the main motivator, we push seniors to seek this purpose and growth.
