臺灣已於2018年正式邁入高齡社會行列，而鄰近的新加坡比臺灣更早進入高齡社會。面對高齡人口的增加與關注心智障礙長者的文化參與權利，新加坡國家文物局與青年志工團於2018年3月10、16、17日規劃3場博物館心智障礙高齡教育活動「創意手作－好奇心」，邀請高齡者與青年志工共同參與。儘管博物館高齡教育活動較以往蓬勃發展，但相關的評量研究仍舊缺乏，因此，本研究針對此活動進行總結性評量，提出3個研究目的：一為瞭解本活動規劃理念與原則；二為評判運用青年志工作為長者陪伴者的適切性；最後則檢視活動成效。研究對象可分為高齡者、青年志工與活動規劃人員，並使用質、量性混合取向作為資料蒐集與分析方法。研究結果顯示「活躍老化」為本活動核心目的，並運用青年志工作為長者陪伴者，再加上混合障別的高齡群體，促使此活動具有獨特性及深入研究價值。活動不僅促進老年人活躍老化、代間互動、鼓勵青年參與社會，更彰顯博物館於高齡社會的價值與重要性。此外，本研究也歸納、分析國內外文獻與此活動規劃方式，建議國內博物館設計高齡活動時可強調「對話」與「賦權增能長者」，提供長者「給予的舞臺」，並使用高齡學作為活動規劃理論，為長輩提供優質服務。

In 2018, Taiwan officially became an aged society with the proportion of senior citizens (aged 65 and over) exceeding 14% of the total population. Singapore is also facing the challenges of an aging society. To fulfill the learning needs of the elderly and to secure their cultural rights, especially among disadvantaged groups, the Singaporean government has made great effort to organize educational activities. For example, the National Heritage Board and Youth Corps Singapore joined hands in planning the intergenerational program ＂Creative Hands Curious Minds＂ at Peranakan Museum (March 10, 16 and 17, 2018). The aim of this study is to evaluate the ＂Creative Hands, Curious Minds＂ sessions on March 16 and 17, 2018 to explore the motives for and appropriateness of this program, as well as to understand the experiences of participants, including senior citizens, youth volunteers and staff members. In this study, mixed-methods were used to collect data. The results revealed that this program not only activated the elderly, but also intensified intergenerational interactions and encouraged the youth to actively participate in society. It also enhanced the value and importance of museums in an aged society. It is suggested that when museums design such programs, consideration be given to dialogue, empowering the elderly and applying gerontological theory. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as a useful reference for museums to better understand the needs of senior citizens and to build their confidence, particularly among those with cognitive impairment.
