An activity within the framework of the Born to Read Program, a project that aims to promote reading among children ages 0 to 3. It involves professionals from the fields of culture and health. In this specific workshop, music, eye contact, and nourishing touch are as necessary for children's motor and cognitive development as the nutrients and vitamins in food. Learn touch dynamics, lap songs, and cuddles to connect with your son or daughter, to bring calm, to introduce routines, to enjoy a fun time... A proposal for every occasion.

The session will explore the historical events, demographic shifts, and urban changes of our city, beginning with a visit to the immersive audiovisual experience in the Celler room on the ground floor of Ca n’Amat – Viladecans Museum Center. The goal is to share the project methodology so other cultural organizations can learn from it and adapt this arts-in-health initiative to their own municipal contexts.

Samba is much more than a dance: it's an explosion of rhythm, expression, and community that comes to us from the heart of Brazil, with African roots. Dancing samba is fun because it connects you with the music, makes your body move freely, and invites you to share your energy with others. It also improves physical fitness, reduces stress, strengthens social ties, and stimulates creativity. Led by: Vinicius Rosa, professor of the UVic-UCC Physiotherapy degree program, born in Brazil, with samba in his veins.
