Artistic expression plays a central role in the lives and identities of peoples and cultures. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the health benefits of engaging with artistic activities. This session offers a space for sharing and reflection on how different forms of artistic expression can serve as tools for care, inclusion, and social transformation.
It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the Master’s in Health Promotion, a programme focused on enhancing population health and well-being, with a strong emphasis on equity and practical application.
