Fukuoka Orange Partners is a consortium composed of an all-Fukuoka collaboration of industry, academia, public and private partners working to create an environment where people with dementia can play an active role. It includes individuals with dementia, their families, corporations, organizations, healthcare and social care providers, and municipality representatives. They are all equal partners that voluntarily "learn", "think”, "collaborate" and "act" on dementia. The consortium explores possibilities to enable living to the full with dignity even with dementia, and to translate these ideas into practical efforts. Fukuoka Orange Partners empower individuals with dementia to lead meaningful lives, and envision a collaborative platform where all stakeholders contribute to fostering dementia-friendly communities.
What you have experienced and what you have devised in your daily life would lead to great hopes and hints for those who have been diagnosed with dementia or are worried that they may have dementia.
You can play an active role in co-creating a community that is easier to live in by sharing your opinions and ideas about what you would like to see in businesses and organizations.

By incorporating "dementia-friendly design" into homes and other facilities, it is possible to create a living environment where people with dementia can live as independently and confidently as possible and live as one would like to live. Fukuoka City has developed a "Fukuoka Dementia-Friendly Design Guide" that outlines 30 points for creating an inclusive living environment for many people, including people with dementia.
In this course, we will explain in an easy-to-understand manner the basic concepts of the dementia-friendly design stipulated in this guide, as well as key points and schedule examples when introducing them into buildings.
The "Fukuoka Dementia-Friendly Design Guide" formulated by Fukuoka City can be downloaded from the city's website.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to experience the Dementia AR Experience called "Dementia Eyes".
The dementia AR experience is an augmented reality (AR) and enable you to experience elements of common visual symptoms of dementia, mainly Alzheimer's type. Through the experience, you will be able to understand the difficulties and anxiety felt by people with dementia, which will help you reflect on your past and future responses, and at the same time, you will be able to gain the insight on how to improve the environment such as potential hazard and easy-to-understand color combinations.

Appropriate support for people with dementia is important for them to live with peace of mind. We offer individual consultations on Humanitude®, a communication technique that conveys kindness to people with dementia, which is necessary in this process.

One of the keys to creating a living environment where people with dementia can live as independently and confidently as possible and live your life in a way that you want is to incorporate dementia-friendly design.
The Center provides individualized advice on the key points needed to introduce dementia-friendly design in your home, such as signage, color combinations, lighting, and furniture placement. Please take advantage of this service so that you can live at home with peace of mind.
