Wellbeing Hours – Open Call 2023
We are relaunching our bottom-up programme dedicated to wellbeing and mental health of cultural workers
This programme aims to support 4 TEH members across Europe to improve resilience and wellbeing of their teams.
Why are we doing this?
In the times of crisis, it is especially hard to maintain your health. Insecure situations, longer periods of stress, and other external factors can affect your physical and mental condition. The cultural sector is one of the most vulnerable while also resilient. Trans Europe Halles is a solidarity network that offers support to its members in good and bad times. With the wellbeing hours programme, we facilitate 4 centres to host a small-scale wellbeing session with their own staff and or local community.
The first edition of the programme was implemented in 2022.
Eight members from seven different countries participated in the programme, each in their own unique way. The programs implemented provided members with the opportunity to learn, grow and hone skills related to their chosen topic. In addition, the programme enabled members to build connections and relationships with other members and communities, while gaining a better understanding of the issues faced by the centre’s target group.
PARTICIPANTS 2022: Anazitites Theatrou – FixInArt (Greece), Brunnenpassage (Austria). Communitism (Greece), Gabriel Caruana Foundation (Malta), Institute for X (Denmark), Malakta (Finland), Nau Ivanow (Spain),Viernulvier / Vooruit (Belgium). 79 indivividuals participated across these communities.
