Carys Owen is the Partnerships Manager at Artis Foundation: a creative learning charity, helping 15,000 children a week achieve at school by integrating the arts throughout their learning. They believe in the transformative power of the performing arts to change lives, and for everyone to recognise the value of a society enriched by the arts
Carys’ presentation will discuss The You, Me, Together project, commissioned by Milton Keynes CCG, Milton Keynes Public Health, Milton Keyes Cultural Education Partnership and Artwork, which took place in early 2018 and engaged four primary and secondary schools in arts activities that explored the language children use to express their feelings and their understanding of mental health.
