International Symposium “Art, Connection, and Well-being: Exploring the Social Value of Culture” will be held under the organization of the Department of Social Epidemiology.
With the epidemic of the new coronavirus, many social activities have been restricted as “unnecessary and non-urgent.” Cultural activities such as festivals, traditional culture, art and sports were severely restricted. These activities are thought to lead to well-being, that is, to express one’s own way of life in a rich connection between people, and to live with pride and “ikigai.” However, the extent to which these cultural activities have the effect of enhancing well-being has not been fully scientifically evaluated and understood. In this symposium, we will discuss the significance and potential of cultural activities in the post-corona era with the world’s top researchers in cultural capital and social capital.
Date and Time: Tuesday, June 4, 2024 13:30-17:15 *Doors open at 13:00
Place: Kyoto University International Science Innovation Building, West Building 5F, Symposium Hall (on-site only)
