HOP is a project carried out by Health Sciences students that seeks to minimize the fear and anxiety that the healthcare world generates in children. Therefore, activities are held in schools where, through six stations, different healthcare aspects are covered, such as medical history taking, nutrition and oral hygiene, antibiotics and vaccines, bandages, X-rays, and operating rooms. During the session, children are introduced to the healthcare world through stuffed animals and role-playing, where they themselves assume the role of a professional, always accompanied by the instructors who coordinate the activity.

Sarrià de Ter (Girona)
This is a community art project in which a group of women and young people have created sound houses inspired by recordings of voices from women who have experienced gender-based violence. The houses hold these brave testimonies, sharing their stories as a way to recognize ourselves in others’ experiences and to foster the trust and solidarity that comes from credibility—moving away from silence and shame. If the house is the refuge of the soul, building these sound houses represents the creation of a space that welcomes and displays both personal and collective vulnerability, allowing the formation of support networks necessary to rebuild a more empathetic and inclusive society.

Cycle of experiential workshops on meditation practice through art therapy. Non-dual meditation has Efficient Attention as its central axis. Concentration is the first step and meditating is an act of presence. Learning to attend becomes the main tool in our day to day. At the same time, art therapy as a vehicle of communication and representation, facilitates the processes of emotional understanding and promotes efficient cognitive attention that allows discernment to emerge to act in any situation that life presents us.
