「齡活大使」訓練手冊
Asia-Pacific Institute of Ageing Studies, Lingnan University 嶺南大學亞太老年學研究中心
嶺南大學獲賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助,與本地另外三所老年學研究單位共同推行為期共五年半的「賽馬會齡活城市計劃」。嶺南大學團隊先後在新界及離島四個區域進行研究,採取「由下至上、地區為本」的模式,了解當區居民對「長者及年齡友善」程度的評價及改善社區設施與服務的意見,並協助區議會制定行動方案及加入「世界衞生組織全球長者及年齡友善城市及社區網絡」,使社區有策略地發展成「長者及年齡友善」社區。
同時,培訓社區人才亦是「長者及年齡友善」城市得以持續發展的重要因素。因此,嶺南大學團隊著手總結過去四年多在社區內推行「齡活大使」訓練的經驗,集合眾人之心得,彙編成冊,力求過去的點滴能對未來發展有所啟迪。感謝參與計劃之各大學團隊的合作,及社區單位及參加者的無私分享,才可促成本手冊面世,與社會人士分享。
