Culture for Health

Since 2021, Nordmaling's cultural school is part of a new Heritage Fund project where the coordinator is the Cultural Schools Council. Development projects aim to prevent mental illness in young people by using culture as a resource. The project involves 11 cultural and music schools in Västerbotten as well as the culture and music schools in Södermanland and Norrbotten. Within the framework of the project, the cultural school in Nordmaling will work for a more active role in the prevention of mental illness among young people. The cultural school will have close contact with students, and recommend young people with mental illness to participate in the cultural school's activities.
