Creative Lives conference
About the conference
From 2nd - 3rd June 2021, we hosted a two-day virtual conference exploring creative approaches to health, the life course, community, wellbeing.
We were investigating how creative health approaches and social prescribing could 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.
The aim was to provide interdisciplinary cohesion and a bridge between the academic world and the general public, between policy and third sector organisations.
