"Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength." Betty Friedan (1921-2006)
The world's older population is growing dramatically.
As a society, there are many ways to demonstrate how we take care of our aging population. In most cases, programs such as healthcare and special assistance are provided to enhance the quality of life and well-being of senior citizens- however that is not always the case. In this studio, students will have the opportunity to create something special for the aging community.
We will take a deep dive into understanding the daily life and hurdles of the aging population and how societies perceive and interact with the elderly in their community. Through research and interviews, we will learn about encounters and issues that result from aging.
