‘Measuring Wellbeing Creatively’ is funded through a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Grand Challenges: Human Wellbeing Award. The project will work with participants who have acquired communication difficulties (as a result of a brain injury or stroke) to explore how different colours and sensations can help to express feelings and emotions. ÌýThrough a series of workshops, the project will co-develop a visual toolkit for expressing emotions. The project seeks to provide original research on creative and accessible methodologies for measuring wellbeing.

1. Three co-production workshops with adults with acquired communication difficulties (January, February and March 2017)

2. Design of the creative nonverbal toolkit based on colour and co-designed by participants.
