A Culture of Care: Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance national conference
The 2020 Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance conference will be held on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 March 2020 at Derby Museum.
The theme will be Care: care for one another (participants, practitioners, commissioners); care for the environment; and caring economies.
Confirmed panellists include Lord Howarth of Newport (president of the Culture, Health & Wellbeing Alliance), Esme Ward (Manchester Museums), Ian Solomon-Kawall (May Project Gardens) and Thanh Sinden (Museum Detox). We’re thrilled that Baby People’s Melisma Choir will be performing on day 1 with more performances to come.

This year the conference will also host the first CHWA awards.
The awards will focus on Climate, Collective Power and Practising Well. Working with award partners, CHWA aims to showcase good practice and people who are leading the way in creating a culture of care for each other, their communities and the world.
Winners will be announced at an evening event on day one of the conference (Thursday 19 March) and further promoted on the CHWA websites and networks.
