Special Projects
Recycled Art Murals
There are plenty of used materials around us e.g. old table calendars, plastic bottle caps, milk powder scoops. Instead of throwing them away, could we reframe them as art materials and find renewed beauty in them?
If you’ve got a creative mind and crafty hands, we invite you to work with our residents on a recycled art collage / murals.
Digitalising Everything
How might we make use of technology to encourage movement, increase empathy and enhance care? Are you interested in using A.I. and gamification to get residents’ moving? Are you passionate about streamlining work processes with smart use of technology?
If you’ve got the mind and heart for this, we invite you to collaborate with us on digitisation efforts.
