The FCH’s Cultura que Cuida pilot project comes to an end at Skope

Feb 19, 2026 | News

Skope – Museum of Medicine and Health was the venue for the closing ceremony of the Cultura que Cuida pilot project, an initiative of the Casa Hermes Foundation, in partnership with ITAU – Technical Institute of Human Nutrition, dedicated to promoting active ageing through cultural prescription.

Between November 2025 and February 2026, the programme involved users of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Aveiro, over 12 sessions that brought together more than 140 participants.

The closing session reflected the spirit experienced throughout these months. It was a moment of pride, belonging and emotion, which confirmed the positive impact of this collective experience in the museum context.

Thank you to the partners who made this project possible and to all the participants who filled Skope with joy!

At Skope, we believe that culture also cares — and that the museum can be an active space for health, encounter and transformation.

We share some moments from this pilot project.
