Through open discussion, participants highlighted World Health Organization evidence showing that taking part in arts and culture significantly benefits health, especially mental health, and emphasized the crucial role festivals and culture play in prevention and youth empowerment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers included Monica Urian, Policy Officer at the European Commission\u2019s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, Stanislava Vu\u010dkovi\u0107, Youth &amp; Adolescent Development Specialist at UNICEF Serbia, renowned British DJ and producer Sam Divine, Holger Jan Schmidt, Secretary General of YOUROPE, and Du\u0161an Kova\u010devi\u0107, founder and director of the EXIT Festival. The discussion was moderated by Greg Parmley, founder of the ILMC music conference and IQ Magazine, and Jennifer Cochrane, founder of Getahead, an organization devoted to mental health and well-being.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 40px;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/srdmCLqfpQ0?si=3NDFXA4OLVYqHGDH\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The panelists agreed that festivals carry social responsibility and real therapeutic potential, that culture and music are public-health resources which connect, heal, and empower, and that it is vital to launch global initiatives that can be applied locally.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing findings from recent research<strong>, UNICEF\u2019s Stanislava Vu\u010dkovi\u0107 <\/strong>noted that since the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depression among young people have risen by 20%, while suicide has become the second leading cause of death in this population. She drew attention to mounting social pressures online, especially among girls, and stressed that UNICEF in Serbia has, since 2021, consistently highlighted how many young people struggle with self-image and self-awareness. She underscored <strong>festivals as a powerful platform<\/strong> for promoting positive coping strategies and <strong>human connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monica Urian, <\/strong>a cultural policy expert at the European Commission, emphasized that we are living in an exceptionally opportune moment to connect the fields of culture and health. As she noted, she has worked in cultural policy since 2007, and only now, for the first time, does she see health being seriously viewed through a cultural lens. She cited World Health Organization evidence confirming that participation in the arts and culture significantly contributes to mental health, and stressed that the time has come to translate those findings into concrete policies, funding, and cross-sector cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>In her presentation, she outlined successfully implemented European Commission projects and showed how certain countries are applying \u201cculture prescription models\u201d and music programs, from intensive care units in Aarhus and the university course \u201cMedicine, Music &amp; Mind\u201c in Portugal, to numerous good practices in Spain and France, where the ministries of culture and health have cooperated in a formal capacity for years. \u201cCultural participation is a health behaviour. So an investment in cultural participation is an investment in health,\u201c she noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Divine<\/strong> shared her personal experience with burnout, the pressures of the scene, and sobriety, stressing that the industry must offer real, healthy alternatives and normalize \u201csober\u201d choices. \u201cI\u2019m nine months clean and sober now. That has brought so much clarity, peace, and a renewed focus on well-being,\u201d she said, calling for the path to help to be made more visible and accessible to both artists and audiences, and adding that \u201cit is essential to provide support to artists, to normalize this topic, and to show young talents that health and art can go hand in hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Du\u0161an Kova\u010devi\u0107<\/strong> built on Sam Divine\u2019s remarks and underscored the importance of joint action to safeguard the mental health of artists and festival-goers. He proposed introducing the concept of a \u201csober rider\u201d as a standard for supporting a healthy artistic environment and communicating it through relevant institutions and festival platforms.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled the motives behind <strong>EXIT\u2019s Life is Live\u201c campaign<\/strong>, namely, the need to restore the experience of real-life encounters in the face of digital addiction. <strong>\u201c<\/strong>For so many people, it\u2019s more important to have a video from the event than to have an experience from the event, and that is tragic. It is like a pandemic,\u201d Kova\u010devi\u0107 said, adding that EXIT felt the need to understand, address, and act on this, which UNICEF recognized, joining the project from the very beginning, and Europe\u2019s umbrella festival organization YOUROPE honoured with the prestigious <strong>Take a Stand Award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing on this topic, <strong>Holger Jan Schmidt <\/strong>noted that festivals and the music industry are not just the stage and the audience, but above all, the <strong>people who create them<\/strong>. In his presentation, he emphasized that YOUROPE, through the <strong>3F \u2013 Future-Fit Festivals <\/strong>project<strong>,<\/strong> is working to establish standards on health and safety, digitalization, diversity and equity, inclusion, and well-being across all areas of the festival industry. He also reminded everyone that festivals stand for the values of <strong>openness, community, and peaceful dialogue<\/strong>, and that these principles are under pressure today \u2013 making the preservation of an <strong>authentic live experience <\/strong>more important than ever, adding: \u201c<strong>You can\u2019t have the video without the experience<\/strong>.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>After all the panelists\u2019 remarks, <strong>Jennifer Cochrane <\/strong>called on everyone to continue breaking down stigma, building support networks, and using available resources, including EXIT\u2019s Life is Live project, while <strong>Greg Parmley<\/strong> concluded that it is necessary to keep the dialogue alive throughout the year and to forge stronger partnerships between industries, institutions, and policymakers, underscoring that \u201cmusic can do more than entertain \u2013 <strong>it heals, connects and inspires.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On World Mental Health Day, 10 October, EXIT, together with UNICEF and YOUROPE, Europe\u2019s umbrella festival
