Teaching artistry and the healing power of creativity
Teaching artistry is essential for promoting community health and well-being. At ITAC, we focus on the role of teaching artists in healing by addressing mental health, chronic illness, and social isolation. Through creative engagement, individuals explore emotions, reduce stress, and improve quality of life.
In partnership with organisations like the World Health Organisation, ITAC connects teaching artists with healthcare providers to develop innovative programs that leverage the arts for health intervention, supporting holistic well-being.
