In Scotland, a special set of circumstances is raising our awareness of mental health and of the positive impact of the arts on mental well-being. With a number of Scottish Executive initiatives bringing mental health issues to prominence on the public agenda, Scotland is ready to go: the lights are amber… When you read about the projects in this publication, examine the supportive words offered by Scotland’s Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport and Deputy Minister for Health and Community Care, and consider the resources being committed to the National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Well- being, you will perceive that mental health and well-being are being increasingly regarded in socio-cultural as well medical and clinical terms. Social care, education, employment and health agencies are recognised as being contributors to individual and community well-being. And many agencies are recognising the arts as an important tool for delivering improved mental health for Scots. Health- promoting aims which underpin mental health strategies in Scotland are being recognised across sectors. They go hand-in-hand with the social and developmental aims of community and collaborative arts projects. Our sense of connectedness with our communities, our vitality, our freedom to do things we enjoy, developing our confidence and skills, having good social relationships and being creative are all experiences that contribute to our mental well-being. And they are experiences which involvement in visual arts projects can promote. This publication helps the arts and mental health communities articulate the cross-cutting benefits of the arts to mental health and well-being to new audiences. The winning projects give a taste of the variety of ways in which the arts can send messages, draw attention, make statements, change attitudes and behaviours…and stop traffic! Sometimes that traffic is a constant flow of common assumptions and misunderstandings. For example, stereotyped notions of people experiencing mental health problems. The Awards offer an arena for fresh viewpoints: projects challenge misguided stereotypes and deliver informed perspectives on people experiencing mental health difficulties: perspectives which embrace articulate, strong, insightful, intelligent, artful, creative communicators. Good art will always challenge us. It takes risks, goes beyond what we imagine things to be, shocks and surprises us, shows us our world from a new 4 perspective, casts new light on the every day. Good art opens new worlds of possibility to us. The following projects demonstrate that art, and involvement in its creation, can give people suffering mental health problems an avenue for addressing, understanding, reinterpreting and communicating their reality. Art offers us all a voice we might not know we had. It values creators’ opinions and allows individuals to challenge their self- perceptions as well as the perceptions of them held by others. By recognising the achievements of these award- winning projects, we are celebrating the ways participants have found power and learning through their own creative development. By being and becoming artists, people can discover paths towards recovery. The Scottish Arts Council’s National Arts, Mental Health and Well-Being Programme thanks everyone who has been involved in these projects and is proud to have played a small part of giving them the green light. We hope that this publication helps increase appreciation for these projects and others like them, and that it prompts other agencies to increase their support for collaborative arts projects. The potential for enrichment, recovery, regeneration and development in collaborative projects is huge. And there’s great creative energy to tap in both the arts and health sectors. But positive participatory arts experiences need decision-makers to interrogate their objectives and priorities. Only significant and sustained funding will change those red and amber lights to green.

Participating in the arts and culture can help encourage improved mental health and well-being and help build confidence, self-esteem and a greater feeling of involvement with others. People often feel that their involvement in arts and culture helps them gain a positive outlook, enabling them to reflect on, challenge and express how they feel about themselves, others and the world. Good mental health and well-being enhances our resilience and our ability to cope. We need greater awareness in Scotland about both mental health and mental ill- health. One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some time in our lives. So, if a mental health problem does not happen to us it will happen to someone we know. The visual arts can heal negative and damaging stereotypes about mental health sufferers by promoting awareness and understanding of mental health issues and by supporting people’s recovery from mental ill-health. The potent role of the visual arts in supporting our general well-being is articulated by the engage Visual Arts Education Awards’ ongoing celebration of access for all to the visual arts. The Awards’ 2005 focus on creativity, mental health and well-being underlines the key role of culture and the arts in: • raising awareness about positive mental health and well-being and contributing to it; • helping to address stigma and discrimination around mental ill-health; • supporting people’s recovery from mental health problems through increased access to arts and cultural activities. Ten awards of £1,000 each were available for the 2005 Awards. The selection panel, however, was so impressed by the standard of the projects entered that they made eleven awards. Applicants entered projects under one of two categories. Category one awards were for projects which promoted positive mental health and well-being, improved quality of life and social inclusion for those affected by mental ill health. Four awards had been available for projects that challenged stigma and discrimination, or supported recovery from mental illness. But it was in this category that the panel found such high standards that five awards were made. Category two awards were for projects which promoted 6 elbowroom p. 26 Photo: Katie Bruce GoMA well-being and creativity through the visual arts. Both sets of awards recognised projects that offered participants quality engagement. Rather than rewarding individual talent, the Awards applaud the galleries and arts organisations that enable individuals and communities to engage with art and artists. The engage Scotland Visual Arts Education Awards celebrate and promote good practice and professionalism in participatory visual arts projects. They recognise visual arts education work that increases access to and enjoyment of the visual arts. Creativity can build well-being; and well-being can inject energy into creative enterprise. This partnership can give power to the innate need in us all to express ourselves

  • Child Immigrants to the “Edge of Empire”: Fairbridge Child Migrants and British Columbia's Quest for the Construction of T
    CHILD IMMIGRANTS TO THE “EDGE OF EMPIRE”: FAIRBRIDGE CHILD MIGRANTS AND BRITISH COLUMBIA’S QUEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE “WHITE MAN’S PROVINCE” by Daniel Vallance B.A., Lancaster University, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Daniel Vallance, 2013 Abstract Beginning in the 1860s British children participated in migration schemes to Canada. Philanthropists, motivated by evangelical beliefs and despair at the state of childhood for homeless and dependent children in Britain, would send 80,000 British boys and girls to Canada between 1867 and 1929. Placed with Canadian families in rural communities, the schemes directed these children toward lives as farm labourers and housewives. By the 1920s, rampant opposition to these child migration schemes in central and eastern Canada brought about their termination. Opponents of child migration, mobilized the language of eugenics to condemn the children sent to Canada as “degenerate castoffs” of British society, and argued that the children were beyond saving and posed a threat to Canadian society. This was not the end of child migration to Canada, however, for in 1935 the Fairbridge Society, a rescue organization, opened the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School in British Columbia. This final scheme would see 329 children sent to British Columbia before its demise in 1950. The earlier period of child migration to Canada, 1860 to 1929, has received the majority of scholarly attention with the recommencement in 1935 often overlooked. This thesis examines how the Fairbridge Farm School at Cowichan Station was able to open and operate in British Columbia without popular opposition by exploring how British Columbian constructions of whiteness were projected onto and internalized by the operators of the Farm School and its children, and in doing this incorporate the Fairbridge Farm School into the larger narrative of child migration to Canada.

    Refugee Action's Annual Report 2011-2012 Our vision is of a society in which refugees are welcome, respected and safe, and in which they can realise their full potential. Refugee Action Annual report and accounts | April 2011 to March 2012 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a small village near the Indian border in south-west Bhutan, a 13-year-old boy with a passion for learning and a bright future arrived at school one morning to find it had been closed down. More than three decades later, Prem Giri, who was denied an education at such an early age, holds a postgraduate degree in business studies and accountancy. “[In Bhutan] People were being treated like animals,” remembers Prem. “In 1990 a national demonstration took place to demand human rights and democracy. I was a young student and didn’t know what that meant at the time. After the demonstrations, the government closed down the schools. For years afterwards, there was no education in southern Bhutan.” The government was carrying out a policy of ethnic cleansing designed to displace Bhutanese nationals of Nepali origin in the south. Prem clearly remembers the day he had to leave his homeland. “It was 17 December 1992, a national holiday in Bhutan, when we fled from the country. We left at night and crossed the border into India, and then from India into Nepal.” For 18 years, Prem and his family lived in a refugee camp in Bilangi, Nepal. Prem completed his secondary education in the camp, and recalls how he would sit on the muddy floor in the cramped, makeshift bamboo classroom among up to 100 other students, without even the use of books and pens.

  • What's Cooking in Scotland?
    What’s cooking in Scotland? How community food initiatives are finding out Part Two about the impact of cookery courses About CFHS Community Food and Health (Scotland) or CFHS aims to ensure that everyone in Scotland has the opportunity, ability and confidence to access a healthy and acceptable diet for themselves, their families and their communities. We do this by supporting work with and within low-income communities that addresses health inequalities and barriers to healthy and affordable food. Barriers being addressed by community-based initiatives are: Availability – increasing access to fruit and vegetables of an acceptable quality and cost Affordability – tackling not only the cost of shopping but also getting to the shops Skills – improving confidence and skills in cooking and shopping Culture – overcoming ingrained habits Through our work we aim to support communities to: • Identify barriers to a healthy balanced diet • Develop local responses to addressing these barriers, and • Highlight where actions at other levels, or in other sectors are required. We value the experience, understanding, skills and knowledge within Scotland’s community food initiatives and their unique contribution to developing and delivering policy and practice at all levels. page 2 Acknowledgements CFHS would like to thank everyone who helped with this publication by taking part in the cookery skills survey and roundtable discussion, by submitting small grant evaluation reports, or by taking part in the cookery evaluation project.
