Key information
HARP (Health, Arts, Research, People)
Short Version
HARP - Health, Arts, Research, People - is an innovation and research partnership between Arts Council of Wales, Nesta and Cardiff University’s ‘Y Lab’ to explore how we can generate, grow and learn about impactful creative innovations that support the health and wellbeing of the people of Wales.
Long Version
HARP - Health, Arts, Research, People - is an innovation and research partnership between Arts Council of Wales, Nesta and Cardiff University’s ‘Y Lab’, to explore how we can generate, grow and learn about impactful creative innovations that support the health and wellbeing of the people of Wales.
We know that the arts can have a hugely positive impact on our health and wellbeing. However we also recognise that designing and embedding creative activities for health and wellbeing can be complex and uncertain, particularly during and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. HARP seeks to learn more about how we can meet these opportunities and challenges in Wales, through combining grant funding with network building, coaching and research for arts and health innovators. We are doing this with support from Nesta’s People Powered Results team, the Wales Arts, Health and Wellbeing Network and the Welsh NHS Confederation.
