Countdown to World Stroke Day- key actions for members and partners!

07 Oct 2022

The countdown to World Stroke Day is on and we know our members around the world are busy preparing to bring attention to stroke symptoms and the importance of #Precioustime. As you work on your campaign activities and events here are some key actions we really want our members to engage with now to help us bujld our audience ready to get maximum attention on October 29th.

1. Show a world committed to tackling stroke – register on the Global Map of Action!

Register your plans for World Stroke Day – no matter how big or small – on the World Stroke Campaign website and add a pin to our Global Map of Action. By Oct 29^th we want to show a map covered with pins from as many countries as possible.

2. Support our #Precioustime Clock Selfie campaign

Find a clock –this could be an iconic clock in your city, the train station clock on your commute, or even the watch on the end of your wrist.
Take a selfie with the clock in the background (or get someone to take a photo of you if you want to avoid the awkward angles!)
Head over to here www.worldstrokecampaign.org/create-a-post to create and download a bespoke message about the importance of knowing the signs of stroke. (I’ve attached our publicity shot as an example)

Share on your socials – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram- with the hashtag #Precioustime sharing a link to the campaign website to encourage others to join the campaign

3. Help our Stroke Spotter game go viral!

We’ve developed a online stroke spotting game that aims to raise public awareness of the signs of stroke, communicate the importance of #Precioustime and create a bit of fun competition between friends on social. Here’s how you can help us get the maximum game players:

Head to www.strokespotter.org and play the game to the end – the game gets faster and levelling up highlights balance/dizziness and eyesight changes.
Screenshot your final time and share the image on socials using the campaign hashtag #Precioustime
Tag and challenge your friends to beat your personal best

You can find all the resources you need for the campaign campaign toolkits. Materials are available in Arabic, Chinese, English, Hindi, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Make sure to follow and share content from. the World Stroke Campaign on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

This year we have also introduced Campaign Tips and Tricks articles. Visit Stroke Connector to find out more about News Releases, Press Conferences and Social Media.
