CCCB Center for Contemporary Culture of Barcelona
The CCCB Alzheimer's Program was created in October 2010 by a group of staff members with the aim of bringing art and culture to people in the early stages of the disease, as well as their caregivers and families. It offers adapted visits to CCCB exhibitions and a complementary program of activities. The activities are based on adapted visits to the exhibitions. When an exhibition visit is not possible, alternative activities are offered: a film program in our auditorium featuring a selection of classic excerpts from international and Spanish musical films or screenings of full-length films; a session on the history of the Casa de Caridad (House of Charity) based on Brangulí's photographs; or a short walking tour of the CCCB grounds. Activities take place on Mondays and are organized upon request.

Hospitals i centres penitenciaris i sociosanitaris de les comarques gironines
The “A tocar” project is a series of concerts and workshops held in hospitals, penitentiary centres, and social-healthcare facilities in the Girona region. The aim of the project is to reach those who, temporarily or permanently, are deprived of the universal right of access to culture. By bringing music directly to people who do not have access to these experiences, the project provides opportunities for emotional development and well-being, fosters connections and empowerment, and helps improve the well-being and quality of life of participants.

The Tiled House, Santaca Museum (Martorell)
Based on a guided tour of the exhibition led by the artist, we invite you to take part in a creative workshop that encourages each participant to engage with her work from their own perspective, experience, and life moment. The activity provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the emotions and reflections the artwork may evoke. This session offers an experiential introduction to art therapy—an open, undirected creative process where experimentation and artistic materials become tools for expression, self-discovery, and connection with others. Its aim is to provide a practical and nurturing experience that reveals the transformative potential of art on both emotional and relational levels. The workshop will be guided by a qualified art therapy professional, ensuring sensitive and respectful support tailored to the rhythm and needs of each participant.
