C&E courses: Senior citizens

• Course Description. One of the main challenges older adults face when ageing in place is staying productively and purposefully engaged. This course uses narrative-based approaches to explore the lived experiences of older adults and equips students with skills in communication, needs identification, and risk assessment. Students will interact with older adults involved in volunteering, employment, and social enterprises, and participate in field trips to active ageing centres and workplaces. These activities provide a multi-stakeholder perspective and help develop community-based, older adult-centric solutions for finding meaningful activities.
