Description

WHAT IF we turn a series of intergenerational dialogues into a kit of engagement tools?

SITUATION/ Effective intergenerational integration is premised on transformative communication, which is only possible with a diversity of shared material and cultural commons, hence going beyond the conventional framework of interpersonal exchange between individuals. How to make such commoning communication possible?

PROCESS/ The design team has held a weekly intergenerational gathering under a banyan tree with the elderly in Fuk Loi Estate in Tsuen Wan for 6 months. The gathering generates countless conversations between the youth and the elderly grounded on common living contexts: home setting, daily routine, job experience, family history, life events, and future aspirations. The team then transforms these dialogues into a kit of intergenerational engagement tools, including cultural probes, mapping exercises, and interactive storytelling games.
