Arts Play Health
Community
We are a volunteer-led community of people interested in exploring the interconnections between arts and play for health and wellbeing. We take broad conceptions of both ‘arts’ and ‘play’ and we welcome anyone interested in these topics to take part in our activities.
Chat Series
We run regular online 'chats' to bring people together in dialogue and shared experience. We usually meet monthly on the last Wednesday of the month (4-5pm BST/GMT) and invite guest facilitators to lead discussions on 'hot' topics. We have no aim but to have an interesting chat!
​​
All are welcome. Join us as an academic, practitioner, artist, arts/play manager or administrator, policymaker and/or interested community member. Each month we will have a few overarching questions to start the conversation and create space for dialogue and ideas for action. Bring a nice big cuppa as we come together in community.

Next meeting
