The Project

Up to 45% of dementia can be prevented by addressing health and lifestyle factors that include increasing physical activity, and maintaining a healthy diet and social connectedness.

Unfortunately, this message is not reaching Australia’s ethnically diverse communities, where there is a limited awareness of dementia and dementia prevention. We worked to address this gap with an animated video about dementia prevention in 10 languages: Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Tamil, Greek, Vietnamese, Spanish, Italian, and English. The animations were created through an extensive codesign process, evaluated with over 300 community members, and are available online for free.
