Piece of Mine

About the Workshop

How would you like to be remembered? What matters the most for you when it comes to leaving well? In a rapidly ageing society like Singapore, engaging seniors in meaningful end-of-life (EOL) conversations is more important than ever. While 81% of Singaporeans are open to end-of-life planning, a 2025 SMU study found that fewer than 13% have actually documented their final wishes.

Piece of Mine is an 8-week workshop series that encourages seniors to discuss EOL issues and take action regarding EOL planning through a mix of arts-based activities, personal reflection, and group sharing. Participants experience guided self-discovery, gain clarity on their personal preferences, and build meaningful social connections.

Each 2-hour weekly session extends on the previous to provide a safe, supportive space for seniors to explore and express what living well, and leaving well means to them. The workshop series then culminates in a final sharing session, where participants share their reflections and wishes with loved ones and fellow community members.

Currently conducted at Active Ageing Centres (AAC), Piece of Mine was designed to meet the cognitive domain goals within the Active Ageing Programme Framework. It is delivered in English or Mandarin, with other languages to be offered in the future. The workshop plans were developed by Artist Consultant Salty Xi Jie Ng.

Piece of Mine draws on our more than decade-long experience of working with seniors in community settings. Since its launch in July 2025, we have brought this workshop series to the following AACs: TOUCH Community Services, Lions Befrienders, Presbyterian Community Services, and NTUC Health.
