Culture & Care
Body & Soul is a living lab in Leuven that is building a world in which people can thrive, in body and mind.
With Culture & Care, we zoom in on how culture and care can reinforce each other in addressing today’s societal challenges. We start from a simple yet powerful question: What if culture and care, working together, could make the difference for individuals and society?
We believe that care is more than just a medical act, and culture is more than artistic expression. Both contribute to well-being, connection, resilience, and quality of life.
Together, we explore how culture and care can enrich each other and how we can build a society where these two fields are increasingly and naturally interconnected.
Conference Culture & Care
The conference Culture & Care: A Joint Call for Change took place on February 26–27, 2026, laying the foundation for Culture and Care. The event brought together diverse professionals to explore how culture and care can empower individuals and society.
Culture & Care as Cure
During the conference, five key prescriptions were formulated to bridge the gap between culture and care. Discover how these insights can help you build a connection between the two fields.
Art on Prescription
Art on Prescription (AOP) brings together culture, care, and well-being to strengthen mental health. Through healthcare professionals, individuals facing psychosocial challenges can participate in cultural pathways in spaces designed for connection and personal growth.
