Brain Health Workshop for Seniors
You are invited to join a workshop focusing on how to keep your brain healthy and active. You will learn about things you can for brain health in older age, such as good nutrition and sleep, and social support.
After a talk from a nutritionist, we will prepare a meal together, eat, and discuss social support.
This innovative four-part workshop is part of a research project aimed at designing social activities and keeping our brains healthy in older age.
Dana Fridman is a design researcher and lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington with a background in psychology and user experience design. Her research focus is design for brain health through social support and connection.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
