Artistic Trajectories in Small States
Explorations into the case of Malta
ArtsOnPrescription. Bringing practitioners together
The promotion of health and well-being through the aesthetic experience is a rapidly developing area, and narrative of hope. Social prescribing/culture-on-referral takes a holistic approach to health and well-being, reducing the risk of medication overuse and dependence. In 2019, the WHO published a report synthesising the global evidence of the role of the arts in improving health and well-being. Awareness, research, demand, and practice around the world continued to grow. Last year, in the UK, new funding to develop social prescribing was announced.
