Targeted areas
Museums
Exploring how key aspects of Birmingham’s food culture have changed over time and how this knowledge can be used to identify and reduce modern day health inequalities in the city.
These research findings will inform actions and recommendations, ultimately impacting our public health service delivery.
Galleries
Exploring how engagement and interactions galleries - in particular the Ikon and their sites - can aid in the improvement of positive health outcomes and reduction in health inequalities for our citizens.
A key focus of this will be aligned to inclusion health - working in partnership with HMP Birmingham with a focus on older adult male inmates.
These research findings will inform actions and recommendations on inclusion health, and health outcomes for communities of experience.
Theatre
Interfacing closely as an anchor organisation with small venues and local artists to explore the value and maximise the impact of the following factors - through the artistic output of theatre in Birmingham:
- public health communication
- engagement
- messaging
The project will be embedded within the local community and local theatre space. This is as well as working with the Hippodrome to embed public health practice and health outcomes into productions.
We will create a standardised tool of monitoring, measuring, evaluating and learning of the value and evidence of public health within theatre.
Music and dance
Building a concrete evidence base and receive suggestions on evidence informed action relating to music and dance on public health. This includes centres, locations and classes.
We will utilise standardised measurements of physical and mental health improvements, across a sustained and long-term intervention based at the MAC and B: Music/Symphony Hall.
