Seeds of Change 2026

The Seeds of Change programme reimagines seniors in our community as empowered community leaders, challenging stereotypes of frailty and dependency while addressing the gap in ad-hoc community programmes that lack continuity and agency. The programme equips seniors with practical sustainability skills across urban farming, textile upcycling, thrift operations, and social enterprise models to create real value and demand. Seniors are trained in these hands-on skills, then mentored as facilitators who co-design ongoing public programmes with EB Impact. They lead intergenerational sessions for residents, corporates, and students, while partnering with sectors on sellable projects, ensuring continuous space activation, intergenerational connection, purpose, and long-term sustainability for the programme.
