Presentation
Using art as a therapeutic tool involves artistic creation to facilitate the expression of emotions and resolution of emotional and psychological conflicts. Art is not just a tool for introspection but also a way of raising awareness and bringing about change in the community. “Art as a tool for social transformation” consists of workshops in artistic techniques that contribute to social change and the basic rights of handicapped people.
Since occupational therapists use art as a therapeutic tool, the use of art for personal and community transformation is an important skill in this field.
Art as a tool for social transformation has arisen from a collaboration between five European universities with degree courses in Occupational Therapy: UVic-UCC, Artevelde Hogeschool, in Belgium, the University of Derby, in England, Escola Universitària d'Infermeria i Teràpia Ocupacional (EUIT), in Spain, and HAN University of Applied Sciences, in The Netherlands.
Aimed at
Both Occupational Therapy and Therapeutic Arts students from all over Europe, and recent graduates in Occupational Therapy from the previous academic year.
