Empathy in Every Steps: Ageing Simulation and Intergenerational Dialogue Workshop

On 24 January 2026, the Outstanding Student Academy stepped into the shoes of the elders through an immersive programme with Eldpathy. From feeling the physical constraints to sharing stories across generations, our students gained a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s ageing population.

Using Hong Kong’s exclusive ageing simulation suit, they experienced the realities of growing older and reflected on what it means for our future. They also learned from the elderly, made handmade Chinese New Year crafts, and visited a local elderly care home to connect with residents.

The workshop challenged them to practice empathetic leadership and define their role in building a more inclusive society.
