The Art of Health uses the creative arts (eg. music, drama, art and dance) to effectively engage young people on matters pertaining to their health and well-being.
Young people are given the tools, resources and mentorship needed to produce health-themed projects, where all areas of health are explored including; mental, physical, emotional, social and financial well-being. Subjects specific to the region such as the influence of culture on a young person’s perception of health are also tackled.
