Here are some images of participants engaging with our workshop activity at the event!
There were people who came just to read what other people had contributed, some people who engaged in the exchange of ideas, and even two teachers who took pictures of every detail as they wanted to create a workshop like this for a youth club they work at. This was a huge compliment, but I had no idea how to react- this is something to think about for future publicly engaged work.
What I enjoyed most about the event was engaging in conversations and sparking questions and curiosities on the topics of Arts for health. I had to clearly state that I was not a professional and we were facilitators and conversation initiators. We wanted to know what people thought about different situations and scenarios and how the arts can be used in aid to help those groups of individuals in the situation.
Networking at the event. Met Munch were featuring at the event creating art on toast- we exchanged contact information with them as they were excited to collaborate with us for another unit X project coming up ‘health knees’
The answers are really thought provoking and really demonstrate:
1) The thought gone into the activity
2) The unique perspectives that each person brings, and due to different experiences within life, each person will approach the situations differently as everyone will relate in different ways.
