Great resource

DSI have a great range of webinars you can listen back to, always with real experts in the field like the recent one on grief with Denis McGuire. You can listen back while cooking, cleaning, driving etc. Most don't require you to be watching.

So many interesting and useful topics for parents/family members/educators - have a look and pick one to get started!

Join us for Week Two of TAMASHA

What is TAMASHA?

TAMASHA is a Global hybrid Arts and Health Festival led by the Global Arts in Medicine Fellows..

Our project was developed as part of this fellowship alongside an international cohort of fellows from across the world. We came together to co-create a shared digital resource library of world music and arts-based approaches aimed at offering moments of joy to carers and palliative patients

The collaboration brought together people with very different arts and facilitation backgrounds - from different countries, cultures and areas of practice within arts and health. Throughout the process, we shared methods, perspectives & approaches and worked collaboratively to shape the project.

It has been a culturally rich learning experience, working across borders and disciplines and learning from the different ways people understand and use the arts in relation to wellbeing.

Join us during the festival, subscribe to our channel & enjoy the daily video we’ll launch
