Cultura e Salute

The Cultura e Salute (meaning Culture and Health) project, devised as part of the three-year partnership with the City of Lugano Arts Department, is based on a growing body of scientific and clinical evidence, taken from WHO. The project was created to promote initiatives and synergies between the worlds of the arts and health to improve the quality of life and well-being of people in care facilities, in arts spaces and in everyday life.

University Course

The IBSA Foundation for Scientific Research, in partnership with the City of Lugano Arts Department, is promoting the first course on the Culture and Health in Switzerland at the University of Lugano (USI).
