positivity exchange tree project

this is how the curiosity tree grew into being!

collaborating with various public, arts and health organisations, this initiative is about creating a meaningful space in various settings. The space consists of a tree, artworks and interactive arts materials in various settings. The tree can either be provided by us ready made, or made in a workshop with staff, client groups - or ideally both!

The artworks can be provided by your own client group, staff, or another collaborator - and there are art materials provided by the tree for others to write or make a response to hang on the tree.

This project is about public engagement in mental health and emotional wellbeing through the language of creativity, and aims to:

• create a safe and positive space for starting verbal and non-verbal dialogue around emotional wellbeing

• connect meaningfully and creatively with others

• support individuals and organisational cultures in developing creative communication to support and enhance mental health and emotional wellbeing

an engaging way to support each other and engage client groups with peer support, signposting and making inhabitants for the tree out of whatever materials you fancy!

the tree shown here is table top size, but we can make any size to suit client group and venue
