On October 8th, the National Center for Art Research (NCAR) held "Creative Forum Volume 1 Art, Health & Wellbeing – Enhancing Wellbeing with Museums: Case Studies From the UK" together with the Tokyo University of the Arts, and the British Council. The videos of the Creative Forum are now available.

The Forum was held with a hybrid format, with four speakers from the UK and one from Japan. It provided an opportunity to discuss the various initiatives undertaken by museums in light of the international trends surrounding "health and wellbeing" and discuss their potential.
