A Shared Journey with Moments that Matter – Memory Cafe

Partnering students with elderly individuals living with dementia creates meaningful, mutual benefits. Children develop empathy, patience, and communication skills, while seniors experience emotional uplift, reduced isolation, and cognitive stimulation. These intergenerational connections break down age-related stereotypes and foster mutual respect. Through shared activities such as storytelling, art, games, and morning tea, students gain life perspective and a sense of social responsibility, while elders enjoy mental engagement and renewed purpose. This collaboration strengthens community ties, nurtures wellbeing, and creates a supportive environment where all participants grow through compassion, understanding, and shared experience, enriching both learning and connection across generations.
