Sometimes it's all too easy to focus on the difficult aspects of our everyday lives, and yet we are surrounded by so many wonderful stories, so many courageous and creative people. As each case study in Art and Wellbeing shows, creativity is inextricably linked to our wellbeing - people's lives are changed, and communities and cultures are strengthened, whenever imagination is encouraged. The authors have adopted a broad definition of wellbeing and, in particular, community wellbeing: how we relate to others and to our environment, how inclusive our societies are, how we address and respect cultural diversity.
