ABOUT US

BACKGROUND

The Art of Health is a global initiative that uses the creative arts to engage young people on issues of health and wellbeing. What began as a small Wellcome Trust funded competition in 3 Zimbabwean communities in 2020, has grown into a vibrant global platform with representatives in 12 countries!
 

In addition to creating & coordinating our own projects, the Art of Health has also had the privilege of collaborating with incredible multi-national organisations, research institutions, public health groups, community-based organisations and individuals to creatively elevate their health-themed events and projects in engaging and innovative ways.

Our activities have included global creative health-themed competitions, art exhibitions, music videos, short films, a stage play and more. We have had over 5 000 young people from over 25 countries participate in these activities, and a widespread international audience that has been able to enjoy, interact with and learn from the various artistic expressions.
