From Kyoto to Penang: Igniting Community Through Memory Cafes
​
Inspired by my visit to Kyoto in 2017, where I attended the Alzheimer’s Disease International Conference and experienced the heartwarming atmosphere of their memory cafes and art exhibitions, I felt driven to bring that same sense of connection and joy to Penang.
In Japan, a fast-aging country, the entire community supports seniors by organizing numerous local memory cafes. These cafes are supported by people living with dementia, caregivers, and seniors as volunteers.
In Penang, we need to develop a similar initiative—not just for those living with dementia, but also for retirees to help prevent dementia.
I have discovered that many retirees are still skillful and active. This led to the creation of the SITI Network.
​
Our Concept: Ikigai
SITI Network is built around the concept of Ikigai, which means finding purpose and joy in life. We gather the skills of seniors, retrain them, enhance their value, and offer these enriched skills to the community through products and classes.
​
Vision:
To empower seniors through lifelong learning, meaningful engagement, and community connection.
​
Mission:
SITI Network enriches seniors' lives by transforming their skills into valuable classes and products, fostering purpose and community.
