About the CULTURE AND HEALTH PLATFORM

Currently, over 85 million EU citizens are affected by mental health problems and their health effects such as depression, loneliness and burn-out. The EU project Culture And Health Platform addresses these challenges and brings the already scientifically proven effects of artistic and cultural interventions into the field in order to strengthen mental health and thus skills such as resilience and participation, and also to prevent illness.

The CAH Platform identifies these socio-political gaps in Europe and addresses them:

- limited integration of culture into health and social policy

- lack of professional support and networks for artists working in interprofessional settings

- sustainable funding and fair working conditions for cultural professionals

The transnational platform focuses on promoting and strengthening European artists who already work at the interface of culture, health, care, education and social affairs and want to deepen and professionalize this work. Project duration: 11/2024-10/2028.

The CAH Platform offers:

Grants + mobility funding:

Financial support for more than 170 artists to realize projects and participate in international residencies.

Capacity building and training:

Over 1,500 live and 800 online training sessions and peer learning workshops.

- Visibility + Networking: Four international conferences in Finland, Austria, Romania and Belgium to showcase innovative practices in linking culture and health and to network stakeholders.

Digital resources: 

An online database of artists to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing.
