Culture & Health | Wermland Opera

Project title

Kultur & hälsa | Wermland Opera

Description of initiative

In recent years, it has been more and more confirmed that cultural activities promote well-being and have many positive effects for both the individual and society. Wermland Opera wanted to find new ways of working and methods to create well-being for more people, both healthy and sick, through culture. In this respect, they created the Culture & Health programme. In the first stage, the initiative is aimed at the target groups of the disabled, people in rehabilitation of chronic illness, mental illness and the elderly. But the initiative also includes health-promoting cultural activities for healthy people.
