In 2022 and 2023, One Nation/One Project leaders conducted site visits in nine communities, using sensory exercises to create data poems that reflect each community's unique characteristics, grounding their research in the experiences of community members.

The research brief by One Nation/One Project proposes a new, inclusive definition for "arts participation" to enhance public health research by considering a wide range of artistic and creative practices across different communities.

Our research explores how engaging with the arts fosters social cohesion and enhances wellbeing across diverse communities, highlighting the need for inclusive participation and investment in arts for health.
