FÀBRICA ESTRELLA DAMM (Barcelona)
On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, Pallapupas is organizing a special event in Barcelona to highlight humor as a tool for transformation and well-being in the hospital environment. This celebration recognizes the role of patients, families, professionals, and collaborators, and marks the beginning of a new phase of innovation, partnerships, and growth in emotional care. The event will combine an institutional and healthcare meeting with spaces for reflection and networking, followed by a second part open to the public with a more festive and community-oriented atmosphere. Additionally, the event will serve as a prelude to Healing Arts Barcelona, where new projects and initiatives will be presented to continue promoting the humanization and sustainability of the healthcare system through arts and emotional well-being.

Museu de Sant Cugat
The Sant Cugat Museum offers memory workshops aimed at improving the quality of life for people affected by neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s. Since 2018, the Sant Cugat Museums, the Citizenship Area of the Sant Cugat City Council, and the Municipal Archive have been carrying out the Fotomemòries project, in collaboration with the Vallès Alzheimer Family Association. This initiative, designed by ClicMe, Petites Experiències Fotogràfiques, consists of memory workshops that use old photographs as a basis to stimulate the memory of people affected by mild and/or moderate neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The objectives are: 1. To stimulate memory through photography as a gateway to recollection. 2. To stimulate language, promoting communication and social interaction. 3. To give a voice to affected individuals so they feel part of society. 4. To make culture accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities, and allow them to enjoy it.
