Summary
An Open Method of Coordination expert group is working on culture and health in 2024, building on the preparatory action “Bottom-up Policy Development for Culture & Well-being in the EU” (2022-23)
There has been a major increase of research into the effects of culture and the arts on health and well-being, alongside developments in practice and policy activities in different EU countries. A recent example is the covid-19 pandemic, which challenged individual and collective wellbeing in an unprecedented manner. Its consequences – particularly in terms of mental health – have been felt long after the conclusion of the crisis in medical and public health terms.
Detailed Call Description
- Create a dedicated platform to enable policy discussions and exchange of knowledge on culture and well-being, as well as further increasing the connection between arts, culture, health, well-being and inclusion of all individuals into the society, particularly among the health and social care sectors.
- Provide policy guidelines for implementation and evaluate mixed methods, arts and culture- based interventions that address one or more of the following areas (at least one intervention per area):
- health promotion;
- mental health and well-being (with a focus on children and young people, but also including other population segments, such as working people suffering from burn-out);
- the ageing population;
- health and well-being of forcibly displaced people; and
- links between ill-health and patterns of inequality.
- Create an evidence gap map of arts and health research and innovation within health promotion, illness prevention, trauma recovery, disease management, and/or disease treatment.
The proposals should collect new practices and policies, evaluate various types of art and culture interventions, in order to better understand their clinical effectiveness and their cost effectiveness. The proposals should develop convincing narratives from the point of view of arts and health economics, health policies and more widely, well-being economics. Well-being is considered here both from an individual and from a societal and community perspective, therefore social cohesion and inclusion should be considered a priority. Moreover, the proposals should allow to map existing research and innovation gaps, identify potential existing barriers and propose a mixed model for cooperation that will take into account participation at the local, national and regional level and the coordination of different sectors and stakeholders.
The proposals should include arts and culture organisations with experience in the area of cross-sectorial collaboration with the other sectors mentioned above.
