Arts and Culture for a Better and Healthier Life: Open Call for Projects. The deadline for applications 19.7.

With an Open Call for projects Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture, in partnership with NDPHS, EUNIC and Arts Promotion Centre Finland, is launching the project “The Art of Staying Healthy”.

The project aims to develop collaboration between the arts and health sectors and to pilot arts interventions on the health and well-being of people and communities in the Northern Dimension area. With the Open Call, organisations are invited to submit ideas that explore how arts and cultural activities can be integrated into the provision of health and social care services. The proposals should engage specific target groups, for example, vulnerable populations, different age groups or patient groups. 

The successful applicants will be offered workshops and mentoring to develop their ideas and will receive a grant of up to 10 000 EUR to pilot the methodologies and implement project activities.

Project applications must be submitted by 19 July 2021. The selected projects will need to be implemented from November 2021 to November 2022.  More information about the project can be found here.
