This opportunity is part of the King's Edge Summer Skills Programme
The Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance is a national membership organisation supporting the field of creative health across England. It works with people and organisations who are interested in the role that creativity, culture and the arts can play in supporting health, wellbeing and more connected communities.
Through this Community + Research project, students will explore a simulated research challenge linked to creative health, cultural engagement, wellbeing and systems change. Working in a small group with a Graduate Teaching Assistant / PhD student facilitator, students will engage with an organisation-informed brief, undertake guided desk-based research and develop insight-led outputs such as a short briefing, stakeholder map, evidence summary, recommendations or a final presentation.
The final research question will be confirmed following a short development phase, during which the Graduate Teaching Assistant / PhD student facilitator will work with the Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance to shape a focused, appropriate and researchable question. This development phase is expected to take around two weeks before the student project begins.
The student project will typically run over 4–6 weeks, with students expected to commit around 3–4 hours per week, including facilitated group sessions and independent research activity.
Students will not represent the Alliance or provide advice to members or external organisations. The project is designed as a simulated research experience, helping students build skills in research, analysis, communication and social impact while developing a deeper understanding of the creative health landscape.
