Conference : TALKING TOGETHER - WORKING TOGETHER Exploring Arts and Health
8th October 2011 Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh
An exciting new conference that will bring creative practitioners, arts workers and arts therapists together with service users and carers, to explore what we have in common and what makes our different practices effective. We are keen to explore joint working across professions, looking at case presentations of where collaboration has been most effective, and ultimately looking forward to joint creative futures in the care and support of vulnerable people.
All of this in the surroundings and excellent conference facilities of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.
