Arts
Arts & Health South West is a partner in an Erasmus Plus funded project called Art & Social Change, which is developing an experiential art training programme for health workers who work in addiction and recovery. This is the fourth episode in a special podcast series that explores the work, expertise, and stories of the people doing this work, and what the research is showing the arts & health sector. In this podcast, we explore two parallel policy movements (Cultural Welfare and Social Prescribing) and the ideologies and work behind them, by speaking to Elisa Fulco, an art curator and consultant for cultural projects in Italy and Alex Coulter, the Director of Arts & Health South West in the UK.
