Abstract
Primary and secondary research has shown that while Singaporean youths know the
importance of intergenerational relationships, many lack the motivation to foster
stronger ties with their grandparents. By first encouraging greater interaction with
the closest elderly person in their lives, The Silver Yarn Project aims to encourage
youths to build a better relationship with their aged family members and in the long
run, create a more positive mind-set towards the elderly. Targeted at youths aged 19
to 26, the project employed the theme of storytelling to encourage youths to forge
stronger bonds with their grandparents or elderly persons in their lives.
