Elefsinian Mystery | Handle with Care

September 08, 2023 • Culture Action Europe

Culture Action Europe’s podcast Frequencies and Michael Culture Association’s Eucropolis present a special episode, "Elefsinian Mystery | Handle with Care", which focuses on the 2023 Beyond the Obvious conference, "Handle with Care | Culture for Social Well-being", co-organized by Culture Action Europe, 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture, and the CultureForHealth project. This international get-together invited practitioners, organisations and institutions, policy-makers, thinkers, researchers, activists and artivists from the cultural, social and health sectors working on topics related to care, well-being, health and culture.

This episode focuses on the significance of care as an ethical and political obligation for our societies and the role culture and cultural professionals can play in this. How can culture and participation in the cultural life of communities nourish the sense of social and individual well-being?
