ROVELL DE FOC
Inaugural culture and mental health weekend
18th and 19th November 2023
At Refugi (La Guixa)
> What is ROVELL DE FOC?
> Programme and registration form
The Rovell de Foc weekend is an activity organised by La Clota for young people to reflect upon their feelings of unrest, lending visibility to first-person experience, and to raise awareness of the healing potential of artistic expression confronting these experiences.
The Rovell de Foc weekend will take place at the Refugi (La Guixa), creating a number of activity spaces. Each space is designed to be shared and will represent a cultural discipline: discussions, workshops, cinema, cooking, and performances.
Those invited to activate these spaces will offer their perspectives on issues which trouble young people such as certain social constructs, discriminatory assumptions, job insecurity, medicalisation or pathologisation, as well as offering strategies for self-regulation using artistic expression.
We invite all cultural, health, activist and educational collectives to participate in these open dialogue spaces, in the belief that the general public has the same say than the guest speaker, regardless of the place from which he or she speaks.
Throughout this gathering we will have spaces for sharing experiences, dinner served by youth collectives, as well as activities to make the Refugi a habitable and shared space during the weekend.
ACVIC collaborates with Col-lectiu La Clota in the Rovell de Foc initiative, created by the Ocell de Foc community, a programme promoted by the Direcció General d'Economia Social i Solidària, the third sector and cooperatives of the Departament d'empresa i treball de la Generalitat de Catalunya. The programme is led in Osona by Osonament, and in Berguedà by Fundació Horitzó. ACVIC participates together with other institutions from both regions.
