Description

The “Intergenerational Cooking Project” aims to enhance communication and create memories between the elderly and young people. After documenting and analysing the living patterns of grandparents, it was discovered that many elderly wished that they could spend more time with their grandchildren, meet their old friends, and relive the good old days. This project proposes to initiate potlucks as a medium to bring these different people together once again. In every potluck, they can design their own dish based on the given templates which facilitates them to work together and document the cooking process. In the long term, it can be hosted as a workshop in elderly centres by different organisations, but also for anyone who wants to use this to bond with their own family members.
