Creativity, Communities and Well-being (1 ECTS)

Objective

The aim of the course is to deepen understanding related to advancing experienced inclusion, participation and meaningfulness and to reflect on these themes in relation to different fields, practice and contexts. Creative problem solving, imagination and self-expression in creative and/or artistic activities can contribute to experiences of inclusion, participation and well-being in individuals and communities.

The student understands well-being benefits related to creativity, imagination, arts experiences and individually meaningful creative activities and is able to reflect on them in relation to different fields, aims and contexts. Students will be able to utilise their learning by reflecting on its links to their professional field and to apply their learning in a multidisciplinary professional discussion on the promotion of cultural well-being in society.
