Workshop WeARTolerance
WeARTolerance is a research project funded by La Caixa Foundation, and its main purpose is to develop an arts-based program to reduce mental-health-related stigma.
The WeARTolerance project has the support of the La Caixa Foundation and its main objective is to develop an arts-based program to reduce stigma in relation to mental health.
Our team of psychologists and researchers from Universidade Lusófona (COFAC, HEI-Lab) aims to better understand attitudes towards illness and mental health in Portugal. At this stage, we recruit participants for the arts-based program, which will integrate areas such as theatre, cinema, music and visual arts.
