Arts, Displacement & Mental Health Webinar

In this webinar, we will hold space for artists, organisers, health, cultural and migrant justice workers to come together to consider the role of art and creativity and its impact on the mental health and wellbeing of refugees and sanctuary seekers. Please book your spot by filling in this short form and you’ll receive a calendar invite.

This event is a collaboration between Norwich City of Sanctuary Health Stream and Counterpoints Arts as part of Creativity & Wellbeing week.

With case studies, guest speakers and discussions, we are offering an opportunity to reflect on what good practice looks like and to discuss some of the opportunities and challenges that may be faced when developing creative projects by and with newly arrived communities with a focus on addressing mental health needs.
