Due to language barriers and cultural differences, non-Chinese seniors in Hong Kong have had limited access to emotional support services and life-and-death education. This project seeks to address this gap for both non-Chinese and Chinese seniors, as well as their caretakers, using expressive arts therapy and life-and-death education.
Building on last year’s success, the project will expand its outreach to more seniors. By using visual arts, music, and dance, it will help overcome language barriers and enable participants to express their emotions and thoughts on life-and-death, helping them cope with anxiety and depression. The project will also train ambassadors to promote life-and-death education among their peers. This approach emphasises artistic exchanges between seniors from different ethnic backgrounds to foster cross-cultural understanding. Their artworks and stories will be showcased in the form of exhibition and storybooks to engage the public and promote an inclusive society.
