Eurocities Culture Forum

Project title

Eurocities Culture Forum

Description of initiative

During the Eurocities Culture Forum 2021, a year when health was on everyone’s minds, this link between culture and well-being was the number-one question for cities. During this event was explored the complex relation between culture and wellbeing, the effects that the cultural experiences can have on the health and quality of life. This is a relation that each city handles differently, whether through social prescriptions for art events in London, through the ‘culture vitamins’ programme in Aarhus that aims to use cultural events to motivate people to find employment, or Barcelona’s work tackling gender inequality through culture.
