With over 85 million EU citizens affected by mental health challenges, CARE responds to a pressing societal need by exploring and leveraging the untapped potential of culture and the arts to foster well-being.
Operating across five countries, CARE will directly engage over 1500 individuals in participatory art activities, train more than 600 professionals, and raise awareness among an estimated one million people. Through innovative policy recommendations, toolkits, and advocacy, the project aspires to leave a lasting legacy on health and cultural policies in Europe.
CARE – Culture for Mental Health is funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, and brings together expertise from across Europe to explore the intersection of arts, culture, and mental health for a healthier future. A budget totaling 1.4 million euros will be implemented over a period of 3 years, from November 2024 to December 2027.
