Exploring synergies between art, planetary health and environmental physiotherapy

Wednesday 25 February 2026, 8.30 – 10pm CET

Environmental physiotherapy, planetary health, sustainability and transformative change require new ways of looking at the world, new ways of thinking and new ways of doing. Arts-based approaches are well known drivers for such otherwise approaches but remain relatively marginal in planetary health and environmental physiotherapy to date. This open EPT Agenda 2027 webinar and roundtable hopes to change this status quo and inspire the broader implementation of art-based approaches in environmental physiotherapy and planetary health research, education and practice. The webinar and roundtable will start with a series of inspiring presentations, followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A session.
