Approaches to culture and health cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region

The potential benefits of art and culture for health and well-being have been well studied and proven - but how to turn theory into practice? Which methods and approaches can we use to create cooperation between the health and cultural sectors that result in positive health outcomes?

The Baltic Sea Region is rich in examples of such interventions, and approaches such as “Arts on Prescription” have been successfully piloted in several countries.

The interactive online event is moderated by Nils Fietje, research officer at WHO and is hosted at the art museum Brandts in Odense. During the event, we will showcase concrete examples of arts and health interventions piloted across the Baltic Sea Region and present the Arts on Prescription programme implemented in Odense Municipality in Denmark.

Join us to learn about different ideas and methods and become part of a developing community of enthusiastic arts and health practitioners.
