Did you know that the 2023 Action Plan for Successful Ageing was launched recently? Building on the first Action Plan from 2015, the refreshed plan will focus on the 3Cs of 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚, 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, and 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, to empower seniors to live life to the fullest in their golden years. ⁠
⁠
Since the National Silver Academy's (NSA) inception in 2016, about 100,000 participants aged 50 and above have benefitted from over 1,000 courses specially curated for seniors. Ranging from life skills to passions, seniors can learn for fun and pick up new skills based on their learning interests. ⁠

If you are 50 and above, we encourage you to kick start your learning journey today for a healthy and more fulfilling life! ⁠

Singapore and South Korea have made remarkable strides in their endeavors to become age-inclusive cities, driven by the mutual challenges posed by their ageing populations.
Today, C3A is delighted to welcome the Gyeongnam Institute Delegation from South Korea, as we come together to share insights on our respective initiatives and programs promoting active ageing and intergenerational learning.
It is truly inspiring to witness the shared aspirations between our two nations in empowering our seniors!
