Case study: cross-cultural design workshops for healthy ageing in China 2016–2017

The ‘Cross-Cultural Design for Healthy Ageing’ workshops were held in Guangdong, China, from 2016 to 2017, with funding support from the Australian government’s ‘New Colombo Plan Mobility Program’. There were more than twenty projects generated under the program, which covered various topics relating to healthy ageing. These included chronic disease management, preventing falls and fall management, intensive care, social patterns and consumption patterns, social isolation, dealing with new technologies, dementia care, mobility issues, residential care, and community engagement, harmonious coexistence of the modern family model, medication management, creative ageing, and baby boomer’s new media socialisation.
