HARP Covid-19 Sprint Challenge

How can the arts support people living through lockdown? How can access to arts interventions be improved? These were the two key questions that Y Lab asked arts and health professionals to explore with participants. Four ideas were chosen for the sprint and I was asked to create simple illustrated case studies explaining key learnings from each project.

Based on notes from a feedback webinar, I drew each case study around the same template: a central project image, intentions and goals and key learning points. As well as being useful for sharing on social media, you can see the images as part of the final report on the Y Lab website. You can also read this lovely article on the BBC website about the benefits of the project.
