The afternoon’s schedule will include community-led workshops, case studies and panel discussions. Guest speakers include Dr Paul Clarkson (Social Care & Society at the University of Manchester), Dr Hazel Morbey (Lancaster University), Rob Conyers (Tameside Hospital) and Julie Farley (Oldham Safeguarding Adults Board) – with more to be confirmed.
The events’ contents will be coproduced by a diverse team of professional artists, health and social care organisations and community participants aged 19 to 90 with a wealth of lived experience (including mental health illness, learning disability and autism).
Through this eclectic variety of sessions, we will explore the role of participatory arts practice in raising public awareness, informing data collection, staff training and service codesign.
Free consultation sessions will also be available to delegates to discuss how Made By Mortals can support and enhance their project.
