The Children’s Sensorium – coalescing art and social science perspectives for children’s wellbeing

“The Children’s Sensorium – coalescing art and social science perspectives for children’s wellbeing” panel discussion illustrates the promise, challenge and necessity for interdisciplinary research to address the challenge of children’s mental health and wellbeing. By building on an example of successful pilot project aimed at children’s mental health: “The Children’s Sensorium – Art, play and mindfulness for post-pandemic recovery”, the panel fosters a conversation about interdisciplinarity, co-design and creative methods in social research with difficult to reach groups, in this case children. The event includes a screening of the short documentary, talks by members of The Children’s Sensorium team including the project curator, Prof Grace McQuilten and others, and Q&A with audience.

This event is hosted by Social Equity Research Centre (SERC) at RMIT’s School of Global, Urban and Social Studies and Contemporary Art and Social Transformation Centre (CAST) at RMIT’s School of Art as part of Social Sciences Week 2024.
