Este libro tiene como objetivo primordial proponer elementos de reflexión, teóricos y prácticos, sobre aspectos de educación, salud y calidad de vida, de los procesos de socialización, identidad, género y de la construcción de la interculturalidad. A lo largo de los diferentes capítulos se constata que existe una clara relación entre la ética, la felicidad y las «acciones», específicamente en relación con la salud mental y física y, por ende, en relación con las acciones educativas y socializadoras. Se trata de promover y asegurar una convivencia armoniosa del género humano con su entorno natural, el mundo espiritual y las futuras generaciones. Esto es trabajar para conseguir una parte de felicidad, calidad de vida, la vida buena y el buen vivir.
Aquest informe, posa de manifest la precarietat de la nostra societat a l’hora de cuidar i de sostenir la vida en un context de crisi de cures.

The performance of heritage takes place in prestigious institutions such as museums and archives, in officially sanctioned spaces such as jubilees and public monuments, but also in more mundane, ephemeral and banal cultural practices, such as naming of phenomena, viewing exhibitions or walking in the countryside. This volume examines the performance of Nordic heritage and the shaping of the very idea of Norden in diverse contexts in North America, the Baltic and the Nordic countries and examines the importance of these places as sites for creating and preserving cultural heritage. Offering rich perspectives on a part of Europe which has not been the centre of discussion in the Anglophone world, this volume will be of value to a wide readership, including cultural historians, museum practitioners, policy-makers and scholars of heritage, ethnology and folkloristics.

In these intimate pages, award-winning Catalan poet Joan Margarit offers a passionate defense of poetry and of the intelligible poem--the well-made text that can provide refuge, wisdom, and consolation. Inspired by Rilke's classic Letters to a Young Poet, this slender volume explores poetry as vocation, obsession, and partnership between writer and reader, a "road toward inner growth." For Margarit, poetry promises "a clarity that allows us mysteriously to live without the need to forget." This is essential reading for poets young and old, writers, and readers seeking insights into the creative process and "the way both poet and reader can find their own way to face solitude."
