Thursday afternoon breakout sessions

Young people face rising pressures and isolation. Creative and cultural programmes offer safe spaces to express themselves, connect, and build resilience.

Cultural activities help reduce loneliness, stimulate memory, and spark joy. Intergenerational initiatives strengthen mutual understanding and bring generations together.

Communities flourish when people feel seen and empowered. Locally grounded cultural projects foster belonging, strengthen social cohesion, and support collective resilience.

Medical heritage is more than a collection of objects, archives or buildings. It is a living memory of care, shaped by the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals across time.

Experience Healing Movements is a unique journey of movement and stillness that invites young people and adults to listen to what their bodies are trying to tell them and bring that wisdom into daily life.

In this Clinic, Coconuts hosts an interactive session centered around their internationally acclaimed method. Coconuts invites you to learn how to turn chaos into creation and how to integrate madness into your process.

In this workshop, you will experience how subtle touch and movement can create deep connection with people living with dementia. You will learn how to listen with the body and discover moments of calm, presence, and genuine connection — for others and for yourself.

In this panel discussion, leading experts from the cultural and healthcare sectors explore how we can embed the collaboration between culture, well-being, and health into long-term policy.

Notice: This session will be held in Dutch.

On Friday you can tailor your conference experience. Choose between a Round Table Discussion, a site visit to the University Hospital or a Workshop.
