3 Foreword Dear Eldercare Practitioners and Volunteers, Thank you for picking up the Conversation Starter Kit! At the beginning of our 3-year journey in the Empowering Seniors Project, eldercare sector leaders agreed that practitioners often designed services for seniors based on common practice and these services tend to be programme-centric. Seniors were often viewed as needy and mere recipients of service. However, the leaders agreed that more could be done to recognise seniors value in contributing to our communities and society. From these observations, there is a call for the eldercare sector to shift towards greater person-centred care and purposeful engagements. The NCSS Quality of Life study showed that providing opportunities to exercise autonomy, encouraging social participation in community and engaging seniors personal potential could significantly contribute to improving their quality of life. As a follow-up to these findings, the Empowering Seniors Project seeks to create evidence-based engagement activities to guide practitioners and volunteers in empowering seniors by enhancing their psychosocial wellbeing for improved quality of life. This toolkit is a product of the collaborative effort amongst 15 core team agencies, together with the National Heritage Board and National Council of Social Service. The toolkit will take the seniors through various historical landmarks in Singapore and familiar everyday objects, which we hope to invoke memories and invite seniors to share about their past experiences. We believe everyone has a story to share and this sharing can impart the richness of one s life to the next generation. While we began with a small team of leaders, a mind-set shift towards empowering our seniors in the eldercare sector requires all hands on deck! and we are so glad to have you with us on this journey! We hope that your organisation will be a champion to purposeful engagements so that seniors are empowered to live dignified lives in their golden years. Enjoy the journey!
