Most of the programming will be from local artists and organisations\, with touring and visiting contributions making it a truly national event. This edition’s programme will embed a particular focus on exploring mental health and wellbeing through the lens of the arts and its impact on individuals and communities affected by experiences of displacement. \nThis event on 13th January will be a chance to learn more about Platforma\, including how artists and organisations can get involved and what support can be provided. It will also be an opportunity to network across the arts\, refugee and other sectors in and around Cambridge. We will also share more about our work around mental health and creative well-being. \nIt will be an informal and friendly day\, and anyone with an interest in this work is welcome. . \nPlease contact tom@counterpoints.org.uk to reserve a free place or with any questions. We are able to cover the costs of local travel for people who are not supported by an organisation. \nMany thanks to the CRASSH for generously hosting this event. \nOther similar events have been (or will be) taking place in other places across the region – including in Ipswich\, Norwich and Great Yarmouth. \nBACKGROUND\nIn 2023 the 7th Platforma festival was held over 5 weeks across the South West of England\, with more than 30 events. A key part of the programme is connecting organisations and people across the arts\, migration and other sectors. We also seek to make connections between places\, within the region and with visiting artists and practitioners from across the UK and internationally. \nBy focusing on a different region every two years\, Counterpoints is able to spend time getting to know a wide range of new partners and to build and understanding of the context. Our co-commissions and overall programme are responsive to that\, with a view to capacity building for the longer term and creating collaborations that last well beyond the festival period. \nPlatforma also becomes a focus of local media\, as with this 2023 report by the BBC. \nRead more about Platforma 2023

SUMMARY:International Conference Culture & Mental Health: Refugees
DESCRIPTION:The second Culture & Mental Health international conference will take place in Ghent\, Belgium on 28 and 29 November 2024. This conference seeks to promote learning\, discussion and debate around cultural interventions aimed at improving the wellbeing of people recovering from mental health difficulties or people in vulnerable situations. The focus of this edition is on supporting the mental wellbeing of forcibly displaced people through art and culture. \nIn a report in 2022 the EU and WHO call for support for the mental wellbeing of forcibly displaced people through art and culture : “People displaced because of natural disasters\, persecution\, conflict\, generalised violence or human rights violations invariably experience significant loss\, physical hardships and other stressors that can lead to psychological distress. A large body of evidence shows how forcibly displaced people contribute positively to society. This potential can be further enhanced by ensuring that they are in good physical and mental health. Therefore\, according to the report\, it is important to support the arts\, as investing in the field is an investment in the mental\, physical and social health of forcibly displaced people.” \nThis conference wants to bring together individuals from the public\, academic\, third sector and voluntary sectors\, to share experiences\, practices and knowledge about the importance and impact of the arts\, reading\, heritage and creativity on improving mental health\, wellbeing and resilience of refugees. \nCounterpoints is part of the programme committee for the conference. \nFull details\, including call for contributions: https://www.museumdrguislain.be/en/onview-en/culture-mental-health-refugees
