Cynefin – a Co-Lab Policy Network
This session is the first in a series of four discussions exploring how embedding arts and culture as a frontline public service could be a step change for population health in Wales.
These sessions form part of Cynefin, a multi-partner programme jointly delivered by Public Health Wales, Arts Council of Wales, the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales and WAHWN. It aims to create space for fresh thinking and the exchange of ideas on arts and health.
Together we will hear the evidence, share learning, and listen to voices of lived experience to help shape practical policy recommendations.
A full list of contributors for this webinar will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Cynefin is funded through a UK Research and Innovation Arts and Humanities Research Council Creative Communities Co-Lab Policy Network Award.
