Memory Spectrum
J.C.DISI is honoured to be a community partner of HSBC Hong Kong Community Partnership Programme 2025. Together with our collaborative partners, such as Community CareAge Foundation and Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service, we are launching the "Memory Spectrum" initiative in Choi Hung Estate. Through this initiative, we aim to co‑create an intergenerational dementia‑friendly community.
Rooted in inclusion and care, the initiative promotes intergenerational interaction through a range of diversified activities. It helps elderly residents recall joyful moments from their lives in Choi Hung Estate, bringing warmth and support as they prepare for the upcoming relocation. Since its launch in September 2025, we have organised a series of activities in Choi Hung Estate, including the "Dementia‑Friendly Relocation Learning Class," "Dementia‑Friendly Community Training" workshops, and Community Tours. These activities bring together local elderly residents and students from CCC Kei Wa Primary School, bridging the gap between generations.
Good Seed
Good Seed is a social innovation training and funding programme jointly developed and organized by Knowledge Transfer and Entrepreneurship Office (KTEO) and Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (J.C.DISI) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Funded by the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund, the programme aims to unleash creative potential of young people to drive social innovations for the benefits of the underprivileged, with design, technology and business as major focus.
"JC Intergenerational Play Space" Project
To leverage the “double-ageing” strategic focus of J.C.DISI, we explore how to future-proof our housing and social infrastructure to support ageing-in-place in a rapidly ageing community, and how to design to enhance social connectedness and harmony in our communities. J.C.DISI has been exploring the potentials to introduce Intergenerational (IG) Play as a design concept to reimagine public open spaces in Hong Kong.
“Furniture for Our Future” Project
Leveraging the ideas generated from the PolyU Jockey Club Operation SoInno Season 9 Symposium, J.C.DISI continues to explore implementable furniture design that can improve the use of space and study environment, health and wellbeing, and in longer term, sense of belonging, self-efficacy and upward mobility of children residing in subdivided units.
