 NATURA ÉS CULTURACulture and natural environment - Support for the territory Fundació Setba
( Fundació Setba )L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà) From 31/08/2026 to 04/09/2026 Nature is Culture is a project that uses artistic practice and contact with nature to improve the emotional well being of people living with mental disorders and to promote social awareness of mental health. The project combines creative processes in natural environments with cultural and educational interventions that encourage dialogue between people with experience in mental health and school age youngsters.
The main aim is to contribute towards improving the emotional well being and quality of life of people who live with mental disorders and to promote social awareness of mental health.
Various activities are developed within the framework of the project: artistic residencies in natural environments to promote the emotional and physical well being of people using mental health bodies, through processes of artistic creation in contact with nature; artistic correspondence, which sets up a dialogue between people living with mental disorders and secondary school pupils, through processes of artistic creation and letter writing; and cultural events, since the project also makes an impact culturally and socially through participation in arts festivals, professional sessions in the fields of art and health, and social awareness activities open to the public.
The project operates as part of strategic alliances with public bodies such as the Departament de Cultura, Diputació de Barcelona, Diputació Girona, Diputació Lleida, private ones such as Bizcabar Patrimoni, and academic institutions such as the Escola d'Art de Manresa, Escola d'Art Ondara de Tàrrega, and Escola Municipal de Dansa de Celrà. It also works in line with the objectives of the National Pact on Mental Health of Catalonia.
