The Jameel Arts & Health Lab (JAHL) and Scottish Ballet announce a partnership set to launch during the Edinburgh International Festival 2024. The partnership expands Jameel Arts & Health Lab's global Healing Arts campaign, a collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to explore and advance the healing benefits of arts in health.
"Many cities around the world have taken part in our series of Healing Arts activations, but I am excited to see Scotland taking a truly national approach. Scotland's unique sense of community, its embrace of all art forms, and its commitment to health for all promise to be an exciting combination. I can't wait to participate and see what the communities come up with," says Christopher Bailey, co-director of Jameel Arts & Health Lab.
