| Description: |
Persons with dementia suffer from the loss of cognitive abilities, impacting not only their daily behaviour but also emotions. When their carers feel exhausted to cope with the demands on physical care and emotional support, would there be any alternatives available? To send them to nursing home? What if they refuse to follow suit? What if other family members have strong reservations to do so? Would there be any ways out? |

| Description: |
Traditional Chinese families felt that moving seniors in the family into institutional care is unfilial. Adult children should keep elderly and frail elderly parents at home as far as possible. With improved health care, frail older adults may have to endure prolonged period of high dependency before death. This symposium involves discussion among professionals and family caregivers on the new thoughts on filial piety in the modern world. |

| Description: |
During the pandemic in Hong Kong, many vital social support services and respite options for elderly were unavailable, resulting in immense pressure on home-bound and seriously ill elderly patients, as well as their carers. The problem is compounded if the patient was sent to isolation facilities. Are their cries for help understood and adequate support provided to them? |

| Description: |
Architecture and city development are inextricably intertwined. Each building is the fruit of the painstaking efforts of architects. Architecture evolves with the development of the city and carries the memories of different generations. As Hong Kong is small and densely-populated, quite a number of buildings of high historic value were demolished for redevelopment when our economy took off in the 1970s and 1980s. Fortunately, some historic buildings have undergone rebirth after years of dereliction with the efforts of conservation teams and the innovative design of architects. Such buildings are imbued with freshness while their original look is preserved. In this talk, Mr Anthony Vincent NG Wing-shun, a veteran architect, will share with us how the integration of creativity and technology brings rebirth to old buildings and guide participants to learn about creative thinking from the perspective of architecture. |
