The Agenda: Why seniors are having their main character moment on TikTok

View descriptionShare
 

TikTok dances, K-pop, makeovers and glittery outfits might not be what comes to mind when you think of senior activities. But at a recent event in Kallang, 19 seniors aged 60 and above got a crash course in becoming TikTok stars, with help from young volunteers from LASALLE and NAFA.

They learnt how to film, edit and upload their own videos and some were already keen to do it all over again.

So, why do activities for seniors so often come with a 'senior' label? Could giving older people more freedom to explore unfamiliar interests change how we think about ageing and what can younger people learn from them in return?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Hasyna Neo, Founder of The WoW Movement, and June Lim, a Lasalle College of the Arts student, to find out more.
