Culture in Close Care

Project title

Kultur i Nära vård

Description of initiative

The project Culture in Close Care is a collaboration between healthcare, academia and culture, digital cultural experiences, including opera performances from The Metropolitan Opera (Met), that is made available to patients and relatives in care homes. The purpose of the project Culture in Close Care is to investigate whether digital cultural access is important for well-being and existential health for people who receive home care. The project also investigates how new models for play services such as the Met Opera on Demand can be made available to people in health and care; to inspire content producers to include the target group of the sick, the elderly, people with functional variations and relatives in their screen and VR productions; and to be able to meet a variety of personal interests in health and care.
