Colour and Emotion: a new measure of wellbeing

This project developed a creative, non-verbal way for people with communication difficulties to express their wellbeing in a way that could be recorded and understood by others.

Through co-creation workshops drawing on cross-disciplinary knowledge, a toolkit was developed, which could make a huge difference to people with communication difficulties such as stroke victims.

According to the project team,

Bringing together people with aphasia, artists, a social scientist and a speech and language therapist has been incredibly valuable to explore colour and emotion through a range of perspectives: aesthetic, sensory, imaginative and cognitive.
