Flourishing symposium
The in-person symposium took place in the Garrod Building of Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. The event was attended by people from various backgrounds which enriched the shared conversations through the day. The emerging key themes shown above were illustrated throughout the symposium by Camille Aubry.
During the day we heard from Freya, a medical student who will be sculpting through the day, Keefe, a medical student who is a pianist also, Ivon, a medical student who is a musician, but actually talking about his intercalated iBSc on uncertainty and creative enquiry.
In addition, Dr. Jane Myat kindly brought some illustrated playing cards for the attendees viewing pleasure. They intend to explore how we can meet well with those we encounter along the way of life.

The postcards laid on the table encourage reflection through imagery and have been used as part of ‘postcard exercises’ in workshops to break the ice and reflect on lived experiences with the help of the chosen image.
