Creative Facilitation

Creative facilitation uses arts-based and experimental techniques to bring people from diverse backgrounds together to collaborate, form meaningful connections and experiment with different methodologies.

It is integral to the operation of the Institute for Medical Humanities both intellectually and practically, underpinning the production of many of our initiatives and outputs, including workshops and conferences, public engagement and stakeholder involvement events, publications, grant applications and new research projects.

Creative facilitation helps to create inclusive and welcoming spaces in which everyone is supported to participate. It can lead to new and unexpected collaborations that cross sectoral boundaries and flatten power differentials. It also brings fun to the table!
