Arts, Nature and Wellbeing: Non-clinical Interventions in Health (BASC0030)

Artistic, environmental or museums engagements, can greatly benefit human health and wellbeing. Through exploring how to measure and evaluate the health impact of such ‘asset-based’ interventions, this module will challenge students to reflect on different cultural conceptions of health and illness. They will gain first-hand experience through a range of creative practice workshops, facilitated by leading practitioners and contextualised through theory-based seminars focusing on the social determinants of health, social prescribing, as well as asset based notions of cultural capital and health creation. As a key outcome, students will conduct their own research on a key topic in, by carrying out a rapid evidence review.

The module runs over ten weeks in the autumn term with four contact teaching hours per week; a one-hour lecture delivered by leading academics from UCL and beyond and a three-hour practice-based creative workshop. The workshops will be facilitated by cutting edge practitioners in the respective fields.

Students will be expected to carry out self-directed research, collaborate with community partners as well as service users and to seek out specific expertise and resources for their individual projects where needed.

This module is mainly taught on the UCL EAST campus in Stratford with some teaching taking place on the Bloomsbury campus.
