Building bridges towards creative care and wellbeing
The final global webinar in this 2021 series will turn our attention to an area of growing interest and significance in creative communities, namely that of the different care approaches needed to address the professionals in the field, a category which includes students, teachers, arts professionals, curators and participants.

This has been largely attributed to the indelible effect of market forces placing pressure on governments and educational institutions to prioritise subjects which deemed to have empirical industry-wide impact, while underestimating economic and social spillover effects emerging from arts education. Due to this, arts and creative subjects have been generally perceived as being inherently less essential to the evolution of contemporary society.
