In this immersive experience, participants stepped into the daily routines of older adults through simulation activities, experiencing firsthand the physical challenges and limitations that come with aging. Throughout the session, participants completed various everyday tasks while managing simulated age-related conditions, such as reduced mobility, diminished vision, and hearing loss. These activities offered a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by older adults—from simple actions like reading a menu to navigating crowded spaces.

Beyond the physical simulation, the experience fostered meaningful reflection on empathy, respect, and the importance of supporting our ageing population. Participants walked away with a newfound appreciation for the resilience of older adults and a stronger commitment to building a more age-friendly community.
