Description:
Scientific research increasingly shows that participation in culture can promote better well-being – it helps reduce stress, supports emotional regulation, and in the long term can even serve a preventive function against mental disorders. To look at this phenomenon from a broader perspective, we have planned three presentations and a debate with experts from the fields of psychology, cultural studies, and cultural project management.
