Support your students to nurture and sustain their creative wellbeing
The likelihood of a mental health problem in the creative sector is three times that of the general population*.
Too often, creatives focus solely on their output, forgetting to nurture their creative input. It can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed and burnt out. That’s why Creative Ecosystem is a vital career skill for those about to embark on their professional practice, offering tactics and practices for a sustained, nourishing career from the start.
Through talks and practical workshops, Emmi Salonen’s Creative Ecosystem model will help students develop healthy perspectives and leave with practical tools to build upon throughout their careers.
“The talk helped me gain a different perspective on the creative process and has impacted my work as a student. I feel it will continue to influence my creative mindset for the better throughout my career.”
