As for this week, the previous year alumni came back and shared their past experiences with us. It was beneficial to listen to their suggestion because they have gone through the process already, so they know what the best way to do it and what are some mistakes that they did. Therefore, after hearing their ideas about their HAP project, I started to think about my own HAP project. I liked their ideas of bringing kids to the activities because elders enjoy spending time chatting with younger kids, so I am also thinking about creating an event in which elders and kids can come together and get to know each other as they work for a small task.
We also started planning for our events of this year by dividing up into three groups, and everyone can choose the team that they want to be in. I am very excited about the upcoming events because after hearing these wonderful projects from previous Life Course Scholars, I am sure that these two events will bring smiles to many people’s faces. In addition to planning activities, we also went over the NAP project that is due soon. As the world is rapidly aging as well as urbanizing, it is important for the neighborhood to become more prepared for what is coming up. Therefore, the NAP project would be an essential project for students to get a unique experience of walking in the neighborhood and collect demographic information of the community to determine whether the area is age-friendly or not.
