The document discusses a case study of aging at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. Over 6,000 retired academics live on the campus and provide insights into strategies for aging well. A project called "Ageing in Tsinghua" explored social innovations created by ingenious older people through a series of design workshops held on campus around traditional Chinese festivals. The workshops were aimed at enabling older people to investigate their ingenuity and co-design for future aging populations.
