During the activity, new tangible materials for self-use will be presented, designed to promote interaction with the environment and make the experience more experiential, structured, and accessible.

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.

Moll de Costa del Port de Tarragona
Elderly residents of the Serrallo, aged between 75 and 92, share information about photographs that are part of their life in the neighborhood while enjoying breakfast together. This stable group of 7–9 participants socializes with one another and passes on their knowledge, which is documented for preservation. These are monthly sessions of about two hours, during which neighbors recall small moments from their past. Together, these recollections recreate the history of the Serrallo neighborhood. Participants experience emotional well-being, exercise their memory, and, while engaged and collaborative, provide detailed descriptions of the projected images.

Dive In and Contemplate: What Is Your Relationship with Nature? Join Ariadna Casas in this guided therapeutic activity, where we will practice forest therapy based on Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing), Mindfulness, and Qigong.

Additionally, we will practice the “Meditation of Admiration” or “Meditation of Surprise”, a technique that invites you to observe the natural world with fresh eyes, full of wonder and respect. On this “surprise walk” through the Poblet Forest, nature becomes our teacher, encouraging us to discover its wonders in every detail with curiosity and inner peace.
