In order to vigorously promote the Chinese traditional virtue of respecting the elderly, further promote the idea of "one old and one young, intergenerational integration". On October 25, the Shuangjing Kyoho Garden, a subsidiary of Lecheng Pension, held a special activity of "Filial Respect and Mangong Harmony · Fun for all Ages", which attracted more than 150 Kyoho Garden elders and 60 children of Lecheng International Kindergarten to participate in. There were also interactive activities such as helping each other with one old and one young, non-body test, etc.
"Intergenerational integration of the old and the young" is a unique brand service of Lecheng. This activity aims to promote intergenerational understanding and interaction between the old and the young. In the form of kindergarten and nursing home, it not only enrichis the spiritual world of the elderly, but also provides a rare opportunity for children to participate in social activities.
To this end, the president of Gong He Court, Zhao Ting, said in her speech, "Happy retirement care not only focuses on the physical health of the elderly, but also cares about their mental health. They need companionship and 'growth'. I have seen an old man in his 90s telling his stories to children in English, and I have seen a child patiently teaching an old man to play games on an iPad. The 'Intergenerational Integration' project not only allows the elderly to shine again, but also allows all participants to feel the beauty of passing on life."
In order to let a little angel better stimulate the creative enthusiasm of the elderly, this activity specially designed a variety of themed activities including "inheritance", "creativity", "art" and "life". The student representatives presented flowers to the elderly who won the commemorative medal of "Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". The elders and children felt the charm of intangible cultural heritage together, made splash-ink and fluid paintings, participated in the music experience, and picked persimmons with the help of the staff to enjoy the joy of harvest.
It is worth mentioning that each participant in the activity began to create art for one and a half hours under the leadership of the teacher. During the creation process, the children and the elders exchanged their ideas from time to time and created four unique works of art together. The liveliness and brilliance of children are combined with the calmness and introversion of the elders, and the sparks of the collision of thinking are frequently blooming. Finally, the creators give their works the names of the profound meaning: Blue Sea, Beautiful Dunhuang, Volcano and Nature, which are the crystallization and witness of the joint efforts of the children and the elders.
All the paintings will be auctioned at appropriate times and the proceeds will be donated to social organizations in need to make a contribution to the community.
After the initial fixed items of "kindergarten courses in nursing homes" and "regular exchanges", now, through the form of "site sharing", the intergenerational integration activity of one old and one young has added activities with richer connotations, such as "birthday party sending blessings", "cultural exchange" and "social practice". On the basis of the original "Lecheng International Kindergarten", Enriched to nearly 10 schools of cooperation, continue to promote the effective integration of old-age care, education.
It is not difficult to predict that with the promotion of the "one old and one young" model, more old people will bring culture and inheritance to the children, and more children will bring songs and laughter to the old people, so that the old people will have a happier and more active life.
