Bridging Generations Through Art: A Hands-on Connection Between N2 to K2 Children and Seniors at Kampung Admiralty Ageing Centre
In a heartwarming collaboration between the young and the elderly, the N2 to K2 children from Star Learner @ Woodlands 888 and the seniors at Kampung Admiralty Ageing Centre came together to create a unique piece of artwork through hand printing. This art project aimed to bridge the generational gap by fostering mutual appreciation, understanding, and bonding between the two groups.
Aligned with the school’s mission to build heroes of character, confidence, and creativity, the children engaged in this project not only with excitement but also with a sense of responsibility and empathy. As the little ones worked alongside the seniors, they learned the values of respect, kindness, and the importance of giving back to the community.
Each handprint, made with vibrant paints, symbolized not only the connection between generations but also the shared warmth and care that transcends age. The children’s creativity flourished, while the seniors shared their life stories and experiences, forming bonds that went beyond art.
Through this shared activity, both groups came together in a celebration of life and learning. The seniors, with their wealth of wisdom, and the children, full of curiosity and energy, built connections that encouraged dialogue, empathy, and respect. By engaging in this meaningful exchange, the children were able to practice the qualities of character, confidence, and creativity that the school upholds.
This art initiative not only helped foster appreciation for one another but also created lasting memories, turning a simple craft into a powerful, heartwarming experience that bridged the gap between the generations and strengthened the sense of community at Kampung Admiralty.
