Can a visit to a museum reduce stress? Does dancing help us cope better with stress? And what role do nature, creativity and cultural experiences play in our mental health?<\/p>\n
At the Science Caf\u00e9, you\u2019ll learn what research has revealed about the influence of art and culture on health and well-being. Experts from the fields of medicine, science and culture will demonstrate how creative activities strengthen resilience, foster social connectedness and open up new ways of dealing with stress and mental health challenges.<\/p>\n
The topics will also be brought to life: dance and music performances will offer insights into the power of artistic expression. A LifeGarden mini-course on the UZH\/ETH campus invites you to experience for yourself how nature, mindfulness and movement promote well-being.<\/p>\n
Discover how art and nature can holistically support our health.<\/p>\n
