TYCI @ DECLARATION

Our vision is for a world with good mental health for all. Our mission is to help people understand, protect and sustain their mental health. Prevention is at the heart of what we do, because the best way to deal with a crisis is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Mental Health Foundation/Univ. of Strathclyde/GCU

Glasgow-based women’s collective TYCI teams up with Declaration for the second year to explore and interpret in a thought-provoking way the 'right to health'. TYCI will take over the Friday night of the festival, bringing together spoken word, photography, music, dance, film and more culminating in an epic DJ closing party showdown. They have invited women to respond in their own unique way to the links between the right to health, social protection and between the right to health and inequalities. Full details and timings to be announced.

A self-confessed bumbling idiot and recovering stress-monger, Paula lived for thirty years under a rock, somewhere on the outskirts of every social situation. She now spends all that nervous energy challenging herself to useless exploits and encouraging others to feel the fear, sit around for a bit, have a bit of a nap, then give it a go, you know, if they really want to.
Author of Quick Lit debut, The Between Lines, written in 94 hours and around the same number of cakes, Paula now wastes her time trying everyone else’s jobs while avoiding her own. Oh, and training like an astronaut. Well, someone has to.
