Monday, July 13 2020

Today starts the research project wanted and supported by Compagnia di San Paolo and developed by Medicina a Misura di Donna Foundation, in collaboration with CCW – Cultural Welfare Center and DORs – Documentation Center for Health Promotion. The aim is to bring out and map the experiences of cooperation between Culture, Health, Social and Education through the digital survey hosted by the italianonprofit.it platform. The survey is active from 13 July to 10 September 2020, click here to fill it in.

The research is part of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation’s long-term strategic programme to develop the virtuous relationship between Culture and Health in Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d’Aosta.
These territories are at the forefront in Italy for a multiplicity of pioneering experiences of great interest, however little known and recognized, which encounter difficulties in having continuity, sustainability and real impact of the system. The intent of the research is precisely to bring out and map experiences, skills and sensitivity of the territory, regarding the cooperation between the cultural, health, social and educational fields, aimed at increasing the welfare of people and communities.

Why participate in the survey?
The main advantages:

• to be included in the first frame of reference of the ongoing Culture and Health projects in the territories of Piedmont, Liguria and Valle d’Aosta;
• to report their existence as individual and/or organizational subjects willing to be part of a multidisciplinary community, an ecosystem that sees the collaboration of operators from the cultural, health, educational and social welfare world;
• to indicate what is necessary to strengthen the paths, identifying the enabling factors to make pioneering projects make a leap of scale;
• to prepare for the next European programming, particularly focused on cross over, i.e. systematic and systemic interactions between Culture and Health.

Who is the survey aimed at?
The survey areas:

• Culture and prevention
  Projects that favor the active participation of citizens, with or without pathologies, in cultural activities aimed at the well-being and prevention offered by the territory.
• Culture, care relationships and medical humanities
  Cultural intervention and training projects that influence and improve the quality of the care relationship and the biopsychosocial well-being of patients, care professionals and carers.
• Culture for the humanization of care places                                                                                      Cultural projects (visual arts, architecture, design, music, performing arts, digital languages, etc.) that work to temporarily or permanently transform physical places of care in the direction of a greater humanization and an indirect impact on the organizational climate and care.
• Wellness and care in places of Culture                                                                                                Wellness and care projects carried out in the places themselves and integrated in the programming of cultural organizations (museums, theatres, libraries, new cultural centres, etc.).

This is the beginning, in Italy, of the creation of a laboratory for experimentation, research and training between operators and cultural, health, social welfare and educational organizations. The data included in the research referring to the project dimension, to the individual organizational subjects involved will be protected and used only for research purposes.
