Coconut tales is a project based on storytelling from grandparents that grew up in Singapore. Upon sharing stories, the intergenerational bond between grandparents and their grandchildren becomes closer, while preserving their past and creating a connection. Reminiscence therapy will be conducted to collect these stories, with the content being visualised and animated. This project is also significant to Singapore’s heritage as it records stories and moments of a Singaporean’s life from the 1940s - 1980s. Engaging elderly Singaporeans in reminiscence have been organised and explored by various organizations, but are
personal relationship’s bond, connecting family members together to engage in reminiscence within a homely environment. With the exploration of art, science and technology, the outcome of this project will be an interactive project that allows personal perspectives and stories of Singaporean grandparents to be shared, engaging young Singaporeans.
