EAMT Cultural Management Master's Programme

🎶 How can music support the mental wellbeing of people who care for others every day?

As part of the Erasmus+ project "Inclusive Wellbeing Through Arts and Culture in the Baltics" (WITAC) six participants of the Estonian WITAC micro-qualification programme are carrying out a practical pilot project that brings together culture, health and social care.

The EAMT Cultural Management MA programme is proud to be part of WITAC, exploring how arts and culture can contribute to wellbeing across the Baltic region.

Under the title “This is what self-care sounds like”, the pilot uses sound and music-based creative activities to help prevent and reduce signs of stress and burnout among social care workers. Led by musicians Kadi Uibo (on the photos) and Kärt Tambet, eight workshops are being held for employees of AS Hoolekandeteenused, who work daily with people with psychosocial disabilities. No previous musical experience is needed — only curiosity, a safe space, and a moment to step away from everyday pressures.

The workshops have already been received with great warmth and the musicians’ visits are eagerly awaited! 💛

WITAC is carried out in collaboration with the Latvijas Kultūras akadēmija, Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte (Riga Stradins University), Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia / Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, and the Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture.
