Often issues related to the

stressful conditions of
organizations and
community initiatives are
externalized into the private
and infuse personal relations .
Therefore on a structural level,
we see these caring structures
also as a form to win even
when you lose" Marco Clausen

as most people that work

in a creative field would
probably tell you, it really is
stressful. Being creative is
intense [] it is often difficult
to separate the professional
and the personal. How does
this affect the way we deal
with mental and emotional
wellbeing in this context?" Pauline Schlautmann

UNDER PRESSURE
#

OpenCare #Fellowships
#mentalhealth

Keeping quiet about

insecurities is a justified
mental defense mechanism.
When we share our feelings,
we are vulnerable, exposed.
Oftentimes, the recipient
is simply not equipped to
offer a good, empathetic
response. This could be
described as a societal
incompetence - Omri Kaufman

Treatments sessions were

postponed, sick people
and doctors being equally
worried.
All I knew was that
doctors advised patients
to figure out how to get
the drugs.
I had no idea how the
people got it - Sabina

Most projects for refugees

help the arriving families,
children and single travelling
women; but the majority
is barely taken care of in
the same manner: the
young men. [they] are
regarded as healthy and
fit, able to work and
therefore not treated as
a priority. - Tomma Hinrichsen

Pavlos believes the way we

think about the time
and space of food will have
an impact on climate
resilience, climate justice,
biodiversity, water and soil
conservation and will
boost regenerative economies
in rural areas" Natalia Skoczylas

The Greek crisis has a

side that not many people
talk about. Paying off the
money to international
institutions would create a
huge ecological debt
in terms of lack
of sustainable land use
and waste management" Pavlos Georgiadis

For me, being in good care

in the city has always meant
having a healthy living
environment. To create such
a good environment we
need good city planners and
a great vision on public
space. Something Brussels
is still lacking..." Yannick Schanden
