A new round of Elder Academy Scheme funding applications launched today.
School-sponsoring bodies of primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions and organisations can apply for funds to set up elder academies or host activities promoting elderly learning and inter-generational harmony.
Applications should reach the Committee on Elder Academy Development Foundation's secretariat by May 31.
The scheme promotes continuous learning for elderly people, active ageing, and inter-generational harmony.
Maximum funding for an elder academy set up in a primary or secondary school is $122,000 for a three-year project, while those that have completed the first three-year programme can apply for up to $60,000 to run a two-year programme.
