The Research Institute and Hospital de Sant Pau took part once again in Festival Cruïlla, with the aim of bringing scientific and health knowledge closer to the public in a playful, participatory, and engaging environment. Under the slogan “The music that could save your life”, Sant Pau offered two outreach activities that were very well received by attendees.
Over the course of three days, Sant Pau professionals shared knowledge and practices around health and well-being, showing that music can not only move us emotionally but also have a real impact on people’s health.
One of the activities focused on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, led by Lluïsa Vilageliu and Alicia Belmonte, nurses from the Emergency Department and ICU respectively, and anesthesiologist Guillermo Martin. Through short educational sessions, they taught participants how to react in the event of a cardiac arrest—essential training that can help save lives.
The other proposal was a participatory music therapy session led by music therapist Inés Cardoso, where attendees experienced how body percussion and music can enhance physical and emotional well-being.
With initiatives like this, Sant Pau is committed to innovating in the way it communicates science and healthcare, reaching new audiences and highlighting the transformative value of research beyond the usual settings.
