Arts Meets Health will be an event exploring the intersection between the creative arts and student mental health
11am – 3pm, Thursday 14th November, Strand campus, King’s College London
SMaRteN is seeking contributors for its ‘Arts meets Health’ event at King’s College London, 11am-3pm on 14th November. The event will showcase some of the leading practice in projects exploring the intersection between the creative arts and mental health, within higher education.
Are you running a participatory arts project for student mental health and/or wellbeing? Would you like to present your project? We have a few slots available for those wishing to present their work.
Perhaps you encourage creative reflection to help students learn, or organise impromptu singing sessions on campus. Perhaps you use drama techniques in the teaching of your module – like Performing Medicine; one of the projects that will be showcased at Arts Meets Health.
The day will bring together those responsible for arts and wellbeing programmes in order to showcase their work, while providing an exciting networking opportunity.
We would encourage you to involve student participants in your presentations, or at least capture the voice of students who have benefited from your project. The Arts Meets Health event is a prelude to SMaRteN’s funding call, entitled ‘What can non-clinical approaches to student mental health achieve?’
Apply to contribute here. Deadline for expressions of interest for contributors is midnight on the 9th July 2019. We will be in touch with all applicants by early August.

Timings
Time slots can be flexible, based on the content of demonstrations and workshops, though we anticipate contributions ranging from 30 to 50 minutes. If you require extra time, please contact SMaRteN at smarten@kcl.ac.uk to discuss further.
Format
We imagine that the projects showcased on the day will consist predominantly of demonstrations and interactive workshops, in order to most effectively showcase the ways in which the arts are being used to improve student mental health and wellbeing. However, if your class/workshop would require resources, time or space not accessible or feasible within the context of the event, it may be possible to deliver a presentation or talk. Contact SMaRteN at smarten@kcl.ac.uk to discuss further.
Travel
Arts Meets Health will take place at King’s College London, Strand campus. We have a limited budget for the event, though if you feel travel costs will be prohibitive to you attending, please contact SMaRteN at smarten@kcl.ac.uk to discuss this further.
Delegates
We anticipate an audience of up to 40 people, representing a wide range of academics, practitioners and pofessional services staff from the SMaRteN network and beyond. Applications to attend Arts Meets Health as a delegate will open shortly.
Registering interest to present your project
Please complete the short expression of interest form here by 9th July. We will be in touch with all applicants by early August. Please note that this is not an expression of interest to attend the event as a delegate. At this stage we are seeking contributors.
