Embodying Health will invite 30 youth workers and artists from France, Greece, Poland, Romania, Portugal and Turkey and beyond to a training and residency fostering mental health through somatic practices and collective creativity. The residency will take place in Cornac, France, from 14 to 25 July 2025.
Embodying Health aims to open dialogue, provide tools to foster calmness, and, above all, explore ways to talk about it and develop concrete and creative solutions to bring a new sense of serenity to our world.
At the end of Embodying Health residency-training a physical and digital exhibition will connect artworks with the local rural community.
Mornings will be dedicated to embodied, somatic practices and free creative expression. Afternoons will be time to exchange about personal and collective project evolution in peer groups, sometimes in plenary; to consult individually with Embodying Health trainers and/or to join technical workshops. Evenings will be open for participants willing to propose activities to each other.
The project is looking for artists, performers, visual artists, film directors, screenwriters, sound designers, musicians, digital content creators, or writers.
The project requires all participants and organisers to engage in green travel, using exclusively sustainable low-emissions means of transport such as bus, train or car-pooling. The project will be able to reimburse travel costs up to a maximum amount of 320 EUR. Food and accommodation are provided for free, thanks to the support of the Erasmus+ programme.
