Wellbeing Playlist: Uplift, Calm and Connect
Wellbeing Playlist: Uplift, Calm and Connect
Music can influence how we feel. It can also bring us together with others through culture and faith, as well as shared experiences, memories, and interests.
This art and music activity was put together by Place2Be’s Art Room and the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, joining in the mission to inspire children and young people through music.
The project is all about helping children and young people feel calmer by listening to music and drawing to its sound. There is also a chance to make a music playlist to encourage personal expression and togetherness.
Watch the short video below in which Place2Be’s Art Room team talk through the creative steps for this activity and show us some examples to get inspired. Have fun creating your Wellbeing Playlist!
