Promozione della salute e del benessere tramite laboratori di teatro sociale: un'esperienza di ricerca partecipata

The Report describes a participatory research project focused on social theatre laboratories and the promotion of health and well-being. This initiative was conducted under the Agreement “Synergies between environmental and social epidemiology and artistic disciplines, particularly social theatre, for health promotion”, established between the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (the National Institute of Health in Italy) and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan. Researchers in the fields of epidemiology, psychology, humanities, and social theatre operators have been engaging in the participatory research. The first part of the Report describes the underlying rationale and theoretical aspects, the second shows the research activities carried out and provides a critical discussion of the experience in order to identify the lessons learned.
