"'Critical Mass' colloquium to establish an international network to support research and practice in community-based arts in health" to be held at the University of Durham on June 2011 (360G-Wellcome-093948_Z_10_Z)

£5,000

To advance our understanding of how sustainable partnerships of community arts, health promotion and education can expedite human flourishing, the Centre for Medical Humanities (CMH) wishes to convene an international 'critical mass' gathering at Durham over a weekend in June 2011. By means of guided conversation rather than presentations, the aims of this colloquium are: 1) to reflect on the nature of practice in community-based arts in health, 2) to determine the international research agenda that is or should be informing the practice, 3) to pursue practical research collaborations to test questions that are arising in the CMH medical humanities research programme, and 4) to consider the establishment of an International Research and Practice Network for Arts in Health. A framework for the discussions will be provided in the cross-cutting questions that have arisen in CMH's work to address the theme of 'flourishing'. For the overseas visitors there would also be a programme of pre- and post-colloquium events and meetings in the Northern region to introduce them to on-the-ground practice in arts in health, to meet community representatives who are engaged with us in long-term development work, and to determine together a strategy for future collaboration and exchange.
