This activity offers a presentation of the Control'Art project, a health arts initiative promoted by + Your Support Foundation designed to make knowledge about epilepsy accessible and address the challenges of its management in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID), a group often neglected in healthcare. To this end, an adapted illustrated book was co-created in an easy-to-read format with a strong emphasis on images. It clearly explains what epilepsy is, how it manifests, how it is managed clinically, how to live with it, and what to do in the event of a seizure.

In this activity, we invite Sant Tomàs Foundation users to an exceptional experience where art will be experienced beyond the eye. This immersive session offers a unique approach to two gems from the museum's collection: a Romanesque piece and a Gothic one. Through guided observation, interaction with tactile elements that evoke the original textures and shapes, and sound stimuli that will transport us to the period of the works, we will discover how medieval art can resonate in our deepest senses.

This participatory workshop uses dance and creative movement as tools to place well-being at the center, with a focus on enhancing the emotional and physical health of ICS professionals, other healthcare workers, and the adult population. Dance is Health! invites participants to set aside gender roles and stereotypes, focusing instead on what each body needs to express, share, and coexist in a more inclusive and respectful way. In dance, there is no judgment, no error — only creativity and the opportunity to reconnect with the body in a sensory, expressive, and playful way, beyond analytical thinking. The workshop will be held in the main hall of the Catalan Health Institute (Barcelona) and led by Sílvia Cepero Domínguez, professional dancer, facilitator, and founder of the contemporary dance company El Desvío. ICS and El Desvío previously collaborated on the pilot arts-in-health project “Dance and Emotional Support in Situations of Gender Violence”, which engaged female ICS professionals in the first half of 2025
