CAN FALIPA CIVIC CENTER (Bacelona)
Atotaixodansa proposes Dance for Everyone: "Vores i ales", a dance workshop open to all people interested in exploring body movement and self-expression, regardless of age, training and physical abilities. All body movement has the potential to transmit authenticity, emotion and meaning. Different abilities will give different forms, which enrich artistic creation. Community dance is a comprehensive health practice that combines movement, contact and emotional expression in a shared space of collective care. Dancing in a group promotes body awareness, flexibility, coordination and breathing, but also generates emotional well-being and a sense of belonging. Contact, gaze and mutual support transform movement into an experience of connection and trust that reduces stress, improves self-esteem and strengthens mental health. Body care, understood as a shared and sensitive action, thus becomes a way of also caring for the community.

Natural·Ment is a monthly cycle of body expression and dance activities in nature that invites us to explore the relationship we have with ourselves, and with the environment —human and natural— from the presence and listening of the body. Each meeting takes place in a natural space in Berguedà —forests, rivers, meadows or paths—, where each landscape and season become an active part of the practice, contributing its uniqueness and elements to enrich the experience. The theme of each session is related to the place and time of year in order to enrich individual and collective research and experience.

HTVC Tortosa
The Tortosa Verge de la Cinta Hospital (HTVC) promotes reading as a tool for well-being and humanization through two initiatives aimed at inpatients and oncology patients. On one hand, the free library project on hospital floors, led by the Humanization Committee, offers patients books and magazines they can read during their stay. Users may take them home if they haven’t finished reading, or continue enjoying them at the hospital, accompanied by bookmarks designed by the ICS Terres de l’Ebre communications team. This initiative helps make hospital stays more pleasant, strengthens the connection with healthcare professionals, and encourages moments of distraction and entertainment.
