From October 18 to 20, the Shanghai Exhibition Center hosted the inaugural Shanghai Exhibition of Courses for Seniors, marking a significant milestone in China’s commitment to lifelong learning and educational innovation for the elderly. This groundbreaking event, the first of its kind in the country, drew participation from over 120 institutions, presenting more than 500 high-quality courses tailored to the needs and interests of older adults. Among the standout offerings were courses in AI-driven short video production, coffee culture, and geriatric general medicine, which quickly became the most sought-after options. Additionally, the exhibition introduced a ‘one-stop learning’ mobile platform, seamlessly integrating online and offline educational resources to enhance accessibility and convenience for senior learners. This initiative underscores Shanghai’s leadership in addressing the educational aspirations of its aging population and sets a precedent for other regions to follow.
