The demographic changes will see people living very much longer than before, and the definition of ‘aging’ is changing based on the premise that a lot of older people still display intellectual and physical health. The most important need for older people is the link between participation and learning, and opportunities for exercise, socialization, decision making and community activities. Acknowledging that older people have much to contribute to society, we promote and actualize the concept of adult learning, learning for a better quality of life, and the fact that there is no age limit for learning.

The Evergreen College is established to enable our senior citizens to have a new purpose of life and a new sense of pride through participating in a wide range of learning activities. The College collaborates with the Government and Caritas Services for the Elderly in running courses in areas, such as computing, health care, etc. To enhance the power of older people's learning, we also advocate intergenerational programmes, and the exchange and sharing of information and mobilization of resources.
