Projects & Programs 5 of 6
"Scottish Arts Council in partnership with The Mental Health Foundation, and supported by the National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing, is currently recruiting projects for research into Participatory Arts Projects across Scotland, called Creative Connections.
The aim of the project is to explore the role of participatory arts in promoting mental health, and to develop opportunities for participatory arts to create innovative and sustainable ways of supporting recovery and social and community development.
We are looking to recruit up to 20 existing projects, reflecting the very healthy and diverse participatory arts scene that exists across Scotland. One of the underlying principles of this research is to look at projects in their own particular context rather than seek to identify one project structure that will meet all needs. The Project accepts that creativity is fundamental to the development of all arts projects, as is the principle of participant engagement in the planning and development processes. The project values this participant-led approach and views it as one of the inherent strengths in arts based project work. Creative Connections uses the term Participatory Arts to include arts in health and community arts projects. We welcome applications from all projects regardless of size or location (must be based in Scotland). We in particular, welcome projects involving people in the BME and LGBT Community.
For further information and an application form please email Liz McEwan or phone on 0141 572 0125. Selection of projects will be in early February.
