Connections - Connections/Impact
The positive impact of healthcare clowning is the result of multiple disciplines coming together. During this meeting we will make our common purpose crystal clear – among us and for the outside world. From there we will create a clear and impactful story to communicate our role in relation to our stakeholders and society at large. We know healthcare clowning is more than a “nice to have” and it’s our job to make sure the world knows the same. Together we will work on solutions to heighten awareness about this life-changing art. We will share and develop the curriculum for care and medical specialists. We will strengthen our lobbying and networking capabilities to ensure our continued success– through the pandemic and beyond. |

Arts - Play/Methods
Here we will explore the art of clowning, share knowledge and co-create beyond what we know now by asking: where else can we take clowning? How else can our skills be used?
Together we will share latest developments, methods and approaches to healthcare clowning. This includes a dynamic best practice forum for top trainers.
We will be meeting in person and online to share what the online world has to offer – and where this space might grow. We will handpick the best of the online world and clarify how not to fall into the speed-obsessed and less helpful areas of life online.
We will also look at our interventions in crisis areas. From here, we will take what we have learnt here and see how we can ensure new development with other target groups.
We will take a close look at the certification of the training process as and provide a safe space to look into burn out symptoms from this demanding work.
Let’s see where we can draw inspiration from and co-create with other art forms and methods! |

Fundraising
Fundraising is important to be able to do the work of healthcare clowning. As a charity, we need to raise funds to achieve our goals. In addition, we have a permanent circle of many loyal donors. That is quite effective, but often not sufficient. Raising funds means creating involvement that makes people want to support us in whatever form: money, time, expertise, materials. By touching people and being open about the work we do, we can take many people and organisations with us in why we do what we do and ask for support. In that sense fundraising is also friend - raising. Many people get a warm feeling of making the world a little better. Giving to a good cause makes sense. We also have something to offer and don't just come and get something. The art of making a match with what the potential giver thinks is important. By bringing together our professionalism and creativity, we try to exchange and create powerful ways to ensure that we have an even more robust foundation of sustainable resources.
