🇲🇹 Ħidma Interġenerazzjonali fil-Mellieħa

Matul dawn l-aħħar xahrejn, saru 3️⃣ sessjonijiet interġenerazzjonali bejn l-adulti anzjani li jattendu ċ-Ċentru għall-Anzjanità Attiva fil-Mellieħa u studenti li jattendu Skola Sajf fl-istess lokalità.

F'dawn is-sessjonijiet, l-adulti anzjani għallmu lil għadd ta' studenti kif iħitu affarijiet sempliċi bħalma hi l-buttuna. Barra minn hekk, dawn iż-żewġ ġenerazzjonijiet differenti ħadmu flimkien sabiex joħolqu crafts, arti u anke sajru u żejnu xi ħelu flimkien.

Dawn is-sessjonijiet interġenerazzjonali huma kruċjali għaż-żewġ ġenerazzjonijiet għaliex jitrawwem ftehim, imħabba u kompassjoni bejniethom.

🇬🇧 Intergenerational Work in Mellieħa

During these past 2 months, 3️⃣ intergenerational sessions between older adults who attend the Mellieħa Active Ageing Centre and students attending Skola Sajf in the same locality were organised.

During these sessions, there was a reciprocal understanding between the two generations as numerous older adults showed students simple sewing work such as how to sew a button. Furthermore, these two generations worked together in creating crafts and art whilst also preparing and decorating some muffins fruit kebabs.

These intergenerational activities are vital as both generations form a mutual understanding, love and compassion towards each other.

Il-volontarjat ma jgħinx biss lil dawk li jirċievu minnu, iżda jrawwem ukoll sens ta’ valur personali f’dawk li qegħdin joffru ħinhom u t-talenti tagħhom għall-volontarjat. Għal dan il-għan, l-Anzjanità Attiva u Kura fil-Komunità nediet proġett li permezz tiegħu tħeġġeġ il-volontarjat fost l-anzjani fid-djar residenzjali.

Wara numru ta’ intervisti sabiex tiġi identifikata l-firxa wiesgħa tal-abbilitajiet tar-residenti inklużi l-ħjata, snajja’, tisjir, u arti fost l-oħrajn, nhar it-Tlieta 6 ta’ Awwissu ġie organizzat seminar li fih tkellmu għadd ta’ voluntiera rigward il-frott li jħalli warajh dan ix-xogħol. Wara, kienu organizzati numru ta’ workshops fi gruppi maqsumin skont l-abilitajiet tal-anjzani li fih qasmu l-ideat varji tagħhom u x’jirrikjedu min-naħa tal-Anzjanità u Kura fil-Komunità sabiex tgħinhom iwettqu dan ix-xogħol volontarju.

Il-pass li jmiss huwa li jiġu diskussi l-ħsibijiet li għaddewlna r-residenti sabiex l-Anzjanità Attiva u Kura fil-Komunità tkompli tkun ta’ spalla għal dawn l-anzjani sabiex ikunu jistgħu joffru t-talenti prezzjużi tagħhom għall-volontarjat bl-aqwa mod.

Voluntary work does not only benefit those at the receiving end, but it also creates a sense of personal value amongst those who offer their time and skills to help others voluntarily. For this aim, Active Ageing and Community Care launched a project which encourages voluntary work amongst older adults in residential homes.

After a number of interviews aimed at identifying the wide range of abilities the residents possess including knitting, craftsmanship, cooking, and art amongst others, a seminar, which included a talk from numerous volunteers, was organized on the 6th of August. Afterwards, older adults from different residential homes were split up in a number of workshop groups according to their talents and abilities. In these workshops, older adults shared their various ideas and expressed the type of aid they would need from Active Ageing and Community Care in order to best conduct their voluntary work.

In the coming weeks, Active Ageing and Community Care will discuss the concerns and ideas raised by the older adults in order to continue being of help for these individuals seeking to use their talents in helping others.
