Creative Lives conference
This conference took place on 2-3 June 2021. It investigated how creative health approaches and social prescribing can be used to connect and communicate life through generations. We invited both experts from around the world and also artists, performers, practitioners and experts by experience from local communities. Our aim was to provide interdisciplinary cohesion and a bridge between the academic world and the general public, between policy and third sector organisations.
