Once a month, the HHH hosts free experiential workshops. Some of these workshops are held on campus, while some are held externally. These workshops are free for all to attend. This page serves to provide an overview of which workshops are being planned, what they entail, and when they are happening.

24 Aug 2026: Art and Disability Workshop
Step Into the Monster Playground: Rethinking “Normal” in Healthcare
In the clinical world, we are often trained to identify the “abnormal.” But what does society – and the medical field – teach us about what is “acceptable”? And what is the hidden cost of expecting our patients (and ourselves) to “keep their monsters hidden”?
Join the Health Humanities Hub for Performing Normal: Our Monster Playground, an experiential workshop designed to help health professional undergraduates move beyond the textbook and into the lived experience of neurodiversity.
This workshop is part of the Care Index, an ongoing research project exploring care through movement and collaborative dialogue. If you are interested in clinical empathy, medical ethics, or the intersection of arts and health, this playground is for you.
Date: Monday, 24 August 2026
Time: 5:30 – 6:30 pm
Venue: MD1 Multi-Purpose Hall 3

1 Sep 2026: Beyond Words: Singing, Listening and the Human Side of Medicine
What can singing teach us about listening, connection, and wellbeing?
This interactive session uses music and the human voice to explore emotion, identity, resilience, and relationships in healthcare. Through accessible group activities and reflection, students will discover how musical experiences can foster self-awareness, empathy, and human connection while offering new perspectives on the practice of medicine. No prior musical experience is required.
