MTS
Many Taiwanese young generations have forgotten their culture, local custom and even language. Meanwhile, after we had a conversation with the elders, we found out that they possess lots of knowledge and life experiences the younger ones lacked.
1. How do we close the generation gap?
2. How do we learn the wisdom and values from our elders?
3. How do we encourage young generations to learn more about the land we live and culture we have and inherit from last generations?
Design Concept /
A platform that provides opportunities for young people to connect with the elders. Both young people and the elders can benefit from each other. The mechanism is relied on stories about attraction and connection.
