«Introduction
The aim of this scoping review is to synthesise existing evidence of the effect of arts and cultural activities on health and well-being. It provides an indication of the volume of existing literature, as well as highlighting the key concepts, focus points and types of evidence that exist. It identifies the knowledge gaps and challenges identified in the existing literature, and provides policy recommendations for stakeholders in the cultural, health and social sectors, and decision makers at local, national and European level.
This scoping review is carried out within the framework of the CultureForHealth project and responds to the criteria set out in the guidelines of the Preparatory Action – Bottom-Up P licy Development for Culture & Well-being in the EU, launched by the European Union (European Union, 2020). The CultureForHealth project aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experience and success stories in the EU related to the role of culture in well-being and health.
CultureForHealth is implemented by a consortium consisting of Culture Action Europe, Trans Europe Halles, Central Denmark Region, The Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture, Cluj Cultural Centre, and Društvo Asociacija. The project is co-funded by the European Union.
The report answers four research questions that were defined in the guidelines of the above-mentioned Preparatory Action (European Union, 2020), namely:
(a) What evidence is there that participation in cultural activities improves the health and well-being of citizens?
(b) Which specific forms of cultural participation appear to have a more positive impact?
(c) Which policies in the field of culture might contribute, directly or indirectly, to maximising the benefits?
(d) What synergies are necessary with other policy fields?
The report consists of two main parts: a Scoping Review addressing the first two research questions, and a Policy
Recommendations section addressing the last two. The scoping review was carried out following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews (Peters et al., 2020), and presents the health and well-being outcomes of arts and culture activities, interventions and projects. The Policy Recommendations provide a series of broader and targeted policy proposals, as well as a discussion about the relevance of culture for the specific health, social and economic challenges that Europe currently faces.
The scoping review takes stock of, and builds upon, the findings of the scoping review What is the Evidence on the Role of the Arts in Improving Health and Well-being? (Fancourt & Finn, 2019), published in 2019 by the World Health Organization (WHO). This review uses a similar approach in presenting the evidence on the contribution of the arts to health, adding the dimensions of subjective and community well-being to expand its perspective beyond health to the social and personal spheres. It also includes a special section on how culture and the arts have been mobilised to
support health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic».
