YouTuber has been an emerging occupation among the younger generation. It also attracts attention from certain elderly groups, e.g. the grandparents who joined the new programme organised by the Association’s Sai Wan Social Centre for the Elderly. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the programme invited a young YouTuber to instruct the participants to write scripts, compose the frames, design sets etc.
