PRESERVING CULTURE WHILE ENCOURAGING INNOVATION - Day 5 of the Lunar New Year Kneeling in front of parents during Lunar New Year is a traditional sign of respect and filial piety in many Asian cultures. It’s a way for children to express gratitude and reverence towards their parents for their love, sacrifices, and guidance throughout the year. I’ve been taught to do so since I was young. This act symbolizes humility, acknowledging the parents’ wisdom and authority, and it often accompanies gestures like presenting gifts or offering well-wishes for the new year. It emphasises the importance of family and honoring one’s elders. Maintaining culture while navigating change is vital because it serves as a bridge between the past and the future, providing a sense of identity, belonging, and continuity in times of transformation. Culture is not static; it evolves over time, influenced by various factors such as globalization, technology, migration, and societal shifts. However, amidst these changes, preserving cultural traditions, values, languages, and customs helps communities retain their heritage and collective memory. Ultimately, preserving culture while crossing boundaries of change honors the past, enriches the present, and empowers future generations to embrace their heritage while embracing the possibilities of the future. CHALLENGE: How might we be able to develop deeper identities by developing new practices and customs? All the #BEST for your next #CHALLENGE and #PIVOTAL moment! May we always continue to share with EMPATHY, SINCERITY and LOVE! Wishing you an ABUNDANT year of JOY, HOPE and WISDOM! #human #humanity #humancentredness #thrudifferentlens #Changemaker #designthinkers #Empathy #iteration #lifelonglearning #leap #leadership #learningbydoing #boundarycrossing #boundarybroker #DTCulture #innovation #change

Practices like kneeling in front of our elders to wish them iecq form of showing respect. What we should trying to keep is the intention of showing respect, not in The way we carry out and show. Many of us are leaving apart from our elders, the use of Technology enables us to see each other in video call. The act of calling them and talking to them at any moment of time, not just on festive seasons, is to be encouraged.
