Blue Zones experts will perform a structured exploration of your community, and collaborate with leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period we will: Educate and mobilize local leaders and residents, evaluate the community’s current state of well-being, identify the highest priority strengths, challenges and opportunities, and produce and present a plan for community transformation.
Blue Zones will guide and support community leaders to implement key policy changes—permanent and semi-permanent—that drive broad and lasting impact. A Blue Zones Activate initiative will prioritize, adopt, and implement key policy changes; inspire citizen awareness and engagement; attract additional resources; and, raise the community profile.
Blue Zones engages individual community members through online health and well-being assessments, the True Vitality® Test and True Happiness® Test, and an interactive Blue Zones online course. All are available for free to all community members as part of the program. These customized online tools are designed to help raise individual awareness surrounding personal health and well-being, with the goal of increasing overall life expectancy.
Blue Zones leverages a diverse roster of experts in fields from built environment and food policy to alcohol and tobacco.
