Abstract: <p>Objective: When aging becomes a global challenging, we believe it is timely important to equip aging knowledge among university students regardless of their disciplinary study subjects. This study aims to describe principles and process of development an aging-related curriculum in high education entitled “Intergenerational Participatory Co-design Project (IPCP)” and evaluate its impacts.</p><p>Methodology: Guided by a key principle of involving participants of any learning context as co-creators of both the learning process and learning outcomes, IPCP went through four stages of development including capacity building, co-creation on learning objectives, deliberated content learning, and learning outcome dissemination. Mixed methodology including qualitative in-depth interview and quantitative questionnaire were applied in evaluation. A total of 26 participants, from three generations recruited from one university, one secondary school, and a pool of senior champions under a geron-infusion initiative participated.</p><p>Findings: after attaining capacity building workshops applying Optimal Quality Intergeneration Interaction Framework, three learning groups formulated. A common theme “preserving cultural heritage” emerged, while each group has identified a specified focus (e.g., food, Tai Ji, and historic sites guide). Quotes collected and survey data revealed positive impacts in reducing stereotype and enhancing learning experiences. </p><p>Conclusion: IPCP demonstrated good practices in role models in multi-disciplinary collaboration in pedagogy innovation. It also paved solid way towards a learning community interwoven with continuous innovation: IPCP becomes a pioneer contributor of library’s digital data hub solution; common core office starts to develop a human lifespan cluster; two research team members started new collaboration on geron-infusion in Faculty of Education.</p>2021-12-01T00:00:00ZSharing the Past: the Library as Digital Co-design Space for Intergenerational Heritage Preservation

Abstract: This poster presents the “Intergenerational Participatory Co-design Project,” an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Hong Kong for facilitating collaboration among different age groups to design digital historic preservation. This project reimagines the global challenge of aging as an opportunity to enhance cultural heritage when older and younger members of society share their unique knowledge and perspectives. Over the course of the 2019-2020 academic year, four mixed-age groups co-designed a variety of innovative digital products to support the preservation and appreciation of Hong Kong’s historic culture. The guiding principle of the project was to engage the participants as co-creators of both their own learning outcomes and learning processes. The participants also had opportunities to develop skills with new technologies for documenting, preserving, and presenting cultural heritage. The University of Hong Kong Libraries served as the central space (both physically and virtually) for facilitating these activities, in partnership with the University’s Sau Po Centre on Ageing, the Common Core program, and the Faculty of Education. This project can serve as a model for how libraries can support local communities to digitally embrace an aging society for enhancing cultural heritage.
