Creating We Make Health

Project title

Creando Hacemos Salud

Description of initiative

Creating We Make Health is an initiative that seeks to promote inclusion and access to creative practices oriented towards community health and well-being, developed by collectives, groups and individuals, who promote therapeutic processes, health promotion, socialization and participation of people in community life, through arts and crafts. A space for dialogue in health is proposed considering the experience of these collectives that connect performing arts, music, visual arts and collaborative entrepreneurship with the well-being of the target groups. It includes: meetings of health managers working through the arts and the creation of a network; exhibitors of informative stands in open spaces of the Faculty of Medicine; reflexive activities and exchange of methodologies.
