Abstract
"Think-Act-Contribute (TAC)" encourages participants to reflect on the relationship between the younger and older generations ("Think") and promotes intergenerational collaboration and healthy living through dance ("Act"). By fostering these two key elements, this session “contributes” back to society by aspiring to embed this concept and knowledge within the community.
"Think-Act-Contribute" was founded by Nicholas OOI in 2011. It is currently managed by the Tuen Mun Healthy City Secretariat. The initiative helps the elderly enjoy their later years by gathering a group of passionate health leaders to spread positive ageing messages to the residents of Tuen Mun. Over the years, the initiative has won various awards and has been featured in different events, allowing elderly participants to embark on the “second act” in their lives.
When audiences watch TAC’s participants perform, they are surprised by the participants’ vibrant energy. Furthermore, some participants have also taken on the role of instructors to pass on their dance skills to others. They have also designed new dance moves, such as the "Energy-Saving Dance" and the "Crime Prevention Drill".
