Young Adults’ Mental Health, Museums, and Digital Technology: Co-Developing a Cultural Experience

This research and innovation project aims to develop an immersive digital application designed to improve young adults’ mental health by reducing anxiety and eco-anxiety, while strengthening engagement with museums.

The application combines visual arts, artificial intelligence, and sounds drawn from living ecosystems based on Impressionist works, offering an immersive experience that fosters positive emotions, well-being, and reconnection with nature. The project is grounded in a living lab that brings together cultural, scientific, and technological partners, and benefits from public and institutional funding.
