Art Friends

‘Art for Wellbeing’ is a series of online visual arts exercises that are calming, enjoyable, exploratory, sensory, actively engaging and expressive. Art Friends has designed these experiences based on the evidence that creativity is beneficial for the student’s health and wellbeing. The focus is on the creative process and the ‘self’ rather than an end product.

Our Wellbeing Lessons have been used in schools with very positive outcomes. The aim is to use art to create a sense of calm and to help reduce anxiety in all ages. The lessons use different media and each experience is very achievable.

The use of art as a way of connecting to others.

It is deeply satisfying and provides stimulation and a sense of purpose.

The Institute for Neuroscience and Education (iN-Ed) focuses on learning and research to enhance the use of Neuroscience principles and practices in educational settings. The paradigm of education is shifting from cognitive performance-based outcomes to thriving, sustained learning. This shift is profound in terms of brain development and deep learning. The iN-Ed builds the capacity of educators to apply neuroscience to pedagogy and improve learning outcomes and well-being for children and young people through the provision of online learning, conferences, workshops and advocacy. The iN-Ed collaborates with key stakeholders, Departments and Ministries of Education and Student Well-being, Schools and Universities.
