Social Problem

  • General Public is not aware of the seriousness of falls in the elderly.
  • Elders lack the opportunity to assess their risks of fall and the knowledge to protect themselves when fall occurs.
  • Socially isolated elders are more prone to fall and get severely injured because of long-term inactivity, and their balance and core muscles are generally weaker.

Social Innovation

  • The project combines dancing and expressive art therapy to enhance elder’s bodily coordination, muscle strength and overall well-being.

Expected Social Impact

  • Provide dance taster programme and training of different levels (totalling 188 sessions) to 305 elders to strengthen their bodily coordination and muscle strength
  • Conduct 6 sessions of fall prevention public seminars to enhance awareness of fall prevention
  • Form a dance troupe to improve elders’ social well-being through regular dance sessions
  • Produce 1 patented fall-prevention dance programme
