Culture-assisted rehabilitation

Research shows that cultural experiences can actively contribute to health and faster rehabilitation. Participating in or experiencing cultural activities stimulates the senses, can contribute to well-being and a sense of context and meaning. KUR is carried out in groups together with professional cultural actors with experience of working with people. The rehabilitation lasts for ten weeks with two activities per week and ends with a reunion about three weeks after the completion of rehabilitation. Examples of cultural activities are self-creation, such as painting, felting and other cultural activities such as choir singing, dancing and movement. The group also takes part in cultural experiences such as concerts, theater performances and art exhibitions."
