The Art for Relaxation II course is for unpaid carers who want to use art to relax and become more self-aware. This 2-year non-degree program is taught in English and helps carers connect with others while learning different art techniques.

Students will learn various artistic activities from around the world, creating pieces that reflect their emotions and experiences. The course includes hands-on components, such as drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and creating art that promotes relaxation.

Graduates can become art therapists, caregivers, community arts workers, or art teachers, working in healthcare, education, or social services. They can also work as activity coordinators or support workers, helping others through creative expression.
