Repost Illustrious Lab - Illustrious North / 2022 will definitely be STIMULI!
We have already kick-started... more soon with Irene Hë and Illustrious Lab - Illustrious North 🧘

🚀 Introducing one of 11 programme's cross-sectoral pilots: project "Stimuli" from Germany.
🎨 Interdisciplinary artist Irene F. Arcas and designer Laetitia Barbu will team up with health experts in an innovative project that aims to foster the practice of soft body movements to release children’s physical pain and stress/anxiety through the use of yoga and meditation. The illustrations printed on daytime care clothes and pyjamas for children, as well as experimentation on work clothes for adult caregivers will be used to help to remember practicing relaxation moves at any time of the day or night, when the need arises. 🧘‍♀️
🌟 Stay tuned to get to know all the pilots and to follow their brave and innovative journey! More about the programme: https://bit.ly/3E6xAvo
ℹ "The Art of Staying Healthy" programme is co-funded by the European Union and implemented by Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture - NDPC, NDPHS Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Well-being and EU National Institutes for Culture.
