SISHK Elderly Simulation Experimental Workshops

身体退化是一种怎么样的感觉？在今年的一月份，三年级的学生在好公民的课堂上参与了一个“推己及人”的工作坊。活动包括：学生利用一些模拟道具，把自己乔装成为一位长者的实验、让学生们体验及探索身体在逐渐衰老后，在日常生活中所面对的困难与挑战。借此感受长者们的生活限制，加深学生对长者们的理解及产生同理心，并能适时给予长者们协助。

What does it feel like getting old physically? In January, we arranged Elderly Simulation Experimental Workshops for our Primary 3 students during their Character and Citizenship Education lessons, in which they wore elderly simulation suits to experience physical challenges associated with ageing. These suits allow participants to explore the living conditions of elderly whose physical abilities have gone. Our students have enhanced their understanding and developed empathy towards older people after this activity.
