七色音樂探索隊

“Colour Music” Pathfinding

本計劃希望培訓出數位「七色音樂導航員」，延續「七色音樂」在香港的應用，建立「七彩樂譜」數據庫。將「七色音樂」介紹給香港的長者服務機構，為患有早期認知障礙症的長者提供非藥物的輔助治療，用自學音樂來緩解他們的症狀。
「七色音樂」是將色彩和節奏的元素納入音樂，用七種顏色代替五線譜上的音符，這是一個初學演奏樂器的好方法。「七色音樂」是通過系統的顏色排列來輔助閱讀音符和樂譜，這方法大大降低了各種能力人士學習音樂和演奏樂器的門檻。

Training a group of “Colour Music” Navigators to continue the application of “Colour Music” in Hong Kong and build up the “Seven Colours Music Scores” database. Introduce “Colour Music” to elderly service organizations in Hong Kong to provide a non-pharmacological treatment for the elderly suffering from early-stage dementia, using self-learning music to relieve their symptoms.

“Colour Music” – incorporates elements of color and rhythm into the music, using seven colors instead of the notes on the pentatonic scale. This is a great way to start playing music from scratch so that learning to play an instrument is not difficult. “Colour Music” is a systematic arrangement of colors to assist in reading notes, which significantly lowers the threshold for people of all abilities to learn the basic elements of music and to play an instrument.

智好生活士多

Mind Delight Online Store

長者一旦患有認知障礙症，是否就甚麼都做不到呢？

 其實，他們能夠做到的，比我們想像的還要多！

「智好生活士多」是由一班患有認知障礙症的長者協助經營的網上商店，由他們幫忙構思、製作、包裝、宣傳和售賣天然家居及生活用品，所得的收益會回饋他們。認知訓練元素會融入這些工作之中，令他們不知不覺間已經做了訓練。此外，我們亦會邀請社區人士加入「士多」團隊，一起製作和推廣產品，增加彼此的了解、接納和協作，讓社區看見長者不一樣的面貌。

Most people believe that the elderly will be incapable and can do nothing once they have dementia. But is it really the truth?

What they can do is absolutely beyond our imagination and expectation.

“Mind Delight Online Store” is an online shopping platform, which operates with assistance from the elderly with dementia. They will help with idea brainstorming, product packaging, product promotion and selling household items made from natural materials. Meanwhile, the sales income will be used to benefit themselves by buying products or activities they want. Furthermore, a series of cognitive training elements will be integrated into their jobs to make them conduct the cognitive training unconsciously in their daily routine. On top of that, we will invite suitable volunteers to join the online store team and collaborate with the elderly on product promotion. Different parties are expected to deepen their understanding, acceptance and cooperation with each other. Ultimately, people in communities are supposed to see a stunning personal image of the elderly.

Sports for Change – Healthy Ageing, Happy Ageing

本項目旨在服務不同能力的長者：行動不便、 一般健康和活躍的老友記，為他們提供不同程度的運動體驗和訓練，包括每星期舉辦的晨運班、跑步課和上門家中訓練，訓練目的在於提升他們的肌肉力量、協調性和身體平衡能力，從而避免意外和受傷。所有訓練班均由具資格及經驗的運動教練和運動愛好者帶領。我們相信運動能夠讓我們與長者建立長期友好的關係，並逐步改善他們的身心靈及社交健康。

This project aims to serve the elderly of different strength levels: sedentary, lightly active and active seniors. We provide different levels of exercise experiences and trainings, including weekly morning boot camp, running class and home visit training, and target to improve their muscle strength, coordination and body balance in order to avoid accidents and injuries. We are partnered with experienced coaches, trainers and sports lovers who are passionate in serving the community. With our enthusiasm for sports, we believe it is easier to build up a friendly long-term relationship with the elderly and gradually improve their physical, mental and social well-beings.

Time Bank. Life Connection Project

Time Bank. Life Connection Project 由凱瑟克基金贊助，計劃透過由基督教家庭服務中心及香港大學共同研發的「時間銀行應用程式」，進一步加快配對速度、提升服務數字，讓有需要的長者能夠得到及時的支援。除了退休人士及青少年，計劃亦會邀請年長的長者成為「生活助手」，透過其一技之長，如教授烹飪、編織等，賺取時分以換取所需家居服務，讓一直以來的受助角色得以轉化。

Time Bank. Life Connection Project is funded by Keswick Foundation, which aims at developing and upscaling Time Bank as an organized system for members or users to exchange wide range of services, i.e. home care services, health care services, training courses etc., according to their needs through the mobile application developed by CFSC and HKU. By upscaling Time Bank, the project would eventually generate greater Social Return On Investment for a better community and the beneficiaries include the elderly, young people, retirees etc.

Time Bankers were taking a walk with an elderly who seldom leaves home during COVID-19

An elderly taught younger Time Bankers the way of making spicy sauce and earn Time Credit for redeeming home care services

Time Bank. Life Connection Project collaborated with a social enterprise and provided free haircut services to Time Bankers and elderly
