How are partnerships between culture and healthcare evolving across Europe?

At the NEMO European Museum Conference 2025 - "Who cares? Museums, wellbeing, and resilience", the panel “Caring collaborations across sectors: From inspiration to infrastructure” offered a deep dive into cross-sector collaboration, from national policy frameworks to local social prescribing initiatives.
