WCSI Arts Health Humanity – WCSI is working with European partners, local artists and influencers to offer a dynamic two-day (un)conference. With a combined offer of speakers and arts activities, participants will have a chance to experience the arts as a potential tool to inform their practice, self, and/or system. Speakers will speak on the theme of ‘What makes a healthy city/city of compassion or ‘Communitas Community’ based on the 10 Caritas Processes® developed by Distinguished Professor Jean Watson. Participants will be able to choose from experiential community caring-healing workshops on offer, including: visual expressive art; singing; creative writing; comedy (spoken word); holistic healing health modalities; and movement/dance. Talks will be from a variety of cultural sectors.Dr. Watson will be on hand to open and close the conference.
Intentional outcomes – To translate the ethos and ethics of Caring Science as a modality to impact a wider audience — to engage and support those working in a variety of sectors who share a common base: to consciously and intentionally bring Love to the center of our work, one person / one health practitioner / one Leader / one artist / one community, at a time.
Who is it for? – This conference is for anyone interested in health and well-being, community cohesion: educators, artists, civil servants, nurse practitioners, and health care systems. The offer is publicized through our WCSI family, Brighton Universities and Hospitals, their staff, UK Health systems, students, residents, and European affiliates such as the European Academy of Caring Science.
Vibrant, Colourful & Creative – Brighton is a fun, quirky coastal town only an hour away from central London by train. With its bohemian, creative vibe, Brighton is where England’s seaside experience goes from cold to cool.
