Healthy, equitable communities are places that create the conditions for all people to reach their optimal wellbeing. Healthy, equitable communities are places with strong social cohesion. Place-based arts and cultural strategies are uniquely positioned to foster social cohesion in communities.
WE-Making provides a landmark, evidence-informed framework that maps the relationship between place-based arts and cultural strategies, social cohesion, and increased equitable community wellbeing. It offers an opportunity for practitioners to address the specific needs in their communities using arts- and culture-based approaches.
