Healing Culture Community
Share - Shine - Shift
The platform for all professionals and committed individuals who bring together health, culture, and community.
Why we need this community now
Imagine: you are no longer alone in your commitment to the intersection of health and culture! You become part of a vibrant interprofessional community where people like you implement projects, share knowledge, and create something new together – for a more humane healthcare and community.
At the intersection of culture, health, and society, many good things are happening in practice and research. What is needed is a shared, interprofessional space for resonance – one that mutually reinforces and radiates:
- Where people from the fields of health and culture meet on equal terms
- Where projects and insights become and remain visible across sector boundaries
- Where experience and knowledge can continue to have an impact
- Where support and resonance can be experienced
This is exactly what the Healing Culture Community creates: together for our vision.
Who is the community for?
Healing culture is a broad field, and that's a good thing! The community provides a common space for different perspectives, skills, and experiences.
- Cultural workers, hospital clowns, artists, architects, and designers with social or health concerns
- Healthcare professionals with a holistic approach
- Social workers, educators, community actors, local initiatives
- Researchers (e.g., neuroarts, social prescribing, cultural education, healing architecture, universal design)
- Networks and projects that work across sectors
- Organizations, companies, and municipalities that want to shape the future
