The Arts & Health Collective: Creative Solutions for Complex Challenges
Engaging with the arts is good for people, and can improve our lives and health in very concrete ways. Yet we have limited knowledge of how to integrate arts and culture in health care. WHO and the Nordic Culture Fund want to change this through a collaborative project.
World Health Organization (WHO)
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is leading the global effort to achieve better health for all. By connecting countries, people and partners, the organisation strives to give everyone, everywhere, equal opportunities for a safe and healthy life.
The Arts & Health Collective: Creative Solutions for Complex Challenges
Together with WHO’s Regional Office for Europe, we have launched a pilot project that brings together academics, artists, cultural institutions, health professionals and policy makers from different countries to explore effective and sustainable strategies for integrating arts and culture broadly into the health sector.
The project aims to:
- evaluate the impact of the selected arts-based health interventions on the local population
- enable WHO to develop guidance on how to integrate arts and health broadly into the health sector for the benefit of Member States across Europe.
