Inspiring Social Action Another factor that can be at the core of shaping identity and a sense of belonging is the nature of the archaeological work as a process to produce heritage; therefore, people engaged in these practices are a focus of local cultures and traditions and often become more engaged in their communities which helps the inclusion practices through social connectedness, participation and partnership, which, in turn, empower the indicators of social inclusion like understanding, acceptance and mutual trust. . |

The Impact of Culture on the Individual Subjective Well-Being of the Italian Population: An Exploratory Study |
We refer to culture as the acquisition of purposefully constructed traits that have to do with intrinsic cultural motivations, that is to say, capabilities and competences that are targeted at a better access and enjoyment of cultural experiences, that is to say, experiences that are explicitly and uniquely designed by someone to expose other individuals to particular statements and trajectories of meaning. . |

The evaluation of the social impacts of culture: culture, arts and development |
The potential human responses that can be triggered with the engagement in a cultural experience are activated and influenced not only by the aesthetic elements transmitted and perceived via the art form (the artistic, visual and symbolic elements), but also by the influences of previous experiences (constitutive of patterns of reaction) and by the particularities of the contexts of engagement (the frame and setting of the experience). . |
| |
Azevedo, M., |
The evaluation of the social impacts of culture: culture, arts and development |
A few of the reviewed studies enumerated factors that enhance the arts experience effectiveness on inducing the propagation of the effects: activities which are linked with local community value systems, the flexible and open spirit of the engagement, the ability to boost collaboration and empathy, providing opportunities for expressing feelings and for stimulating imagination, and lastly, the intensity of the experience. . |

Azevedo, M., |
The evaluation of the social impacts of culture: culture, arts and development |
In this sense, this study argues that although other type of programmes (like leisure occupations) are also able to stir creativity, spontaneity and induce critical capacity, culture has a particular role in providing opportunities for building a pluralistic and democratic society as it conveys symbolic meanings through its experience. . |

Cultural engagement and cognitive reserve: museum attendance and dementia incidence over a 10-year period |
Consequently, activities that are mentally engaging, enjoyable, stress-reducing and socially interactive could be protective against the development of dementia, and in light of this, there has been a call for the identification of more affordable multimodal public health interventions to decrease the risk of dementia for individuals.6 A multimodal activity that combines a number of protective factors (including intellectual stimulation, light physical activity, positive affect, relaxation and social engagement through interaction with staff, fellow visitors or friends) is visiting museums, art galleries and exhibitions (hereafter referred to as museums).7-9 Previous studies have incorporated visiting museums within definitions of leisure activities in dementia research,10 or looked at the broader impact of attendance on people with dementia, finding benefits for cognitive performance, well-being, quality of life, self-esteem and social support.11 . |

Introduction There is a strong argument for engagement in the creative cultural activities as beneficial for health and well-being.1e4 Active cultural participation has been shown to be, not only strongly associated with healthy behaviour3 and mental well-being3e5 but also to convey health promotion messages6 and reduce social exclusion.6,7 Passive cultural participation, by comparison, proved to be effective in stress and anxietyreduction therapies for coronary disease patients (listening to music),8 associated with lower cancer-related mortality,9 lower cardiovascular risk3 and better mental well-being3 leading to improved social engagement.6,10 Despite strong advocacy for, and widespread acceptance of, creative cultural activities and cultural attendance as determinants for mental and physical health, as well as for well-being11 and social inclusion,7,11 to the best of our knowledge, reported evaluations of a causative influence of creative engagement with the arts or passive cultural participation on population health and well-being with the survey data are scarce. . |

Visual arts education plays a fundamental role in the diversification of the artistic knowledge of children and young people, because it generates spaces for the integration of methods, forms of expression and interpretations that constitute a language and a vertex from which to understand the world and connect with others (National Council for Culture and the Arts, 2016, p. 7). In the school context, the artistic training of the student body creates inventive and critical human capacities so that art can continue its historical trajectory of revealing, through the styles and aesthetic forms of painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature and drawing, the diverse understandings and feelings of the human being about nature and about their own existence in the world (Siqueira, 2009, p. 146). . |

Artistic expression as a teaching strategy for the development of affectivity and self-esteem in people with Intellectual Disabilities and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) La expresión artística como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo de la afectividad y la autoestima en una persona con Discapacidad Intelectual y Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF) |
Carrying out workshops and practical activities designed from emotional expectations, personal experiences around affectivity and their relationship with the closest world, is a professional and family commitment that raises the quality of life of people with disabilities to the height of their dignity (Garda, D^az & Fernandez, 2013, p. 7). 4. Self-esteem Self-esteem refers to the need for respect and self-confidence, the desire to be accepted and valued by others. People become more self-confident by having a high level of positive self-esteem, because it improves mental health (anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders) and quality of life (Navas, Uhlmann & Berastegui, 2014, p. 36), neutralizing the feelings of inferiority that are continually exposed, allowing to accentuate a satisfactory perception of life, promoting personal autonomy, establishing interpersonal, social and cultural relationships in an equal and satisfactory manner with personal well-being and environment (Alcantara, 1993). Through artistic expression, the artist with a disability projects his or her level of identity and provokes reactions in the viewer, whether positive or negative. The return of these reactions gives feedback to the artist, causing him to stimulate his level of self-esteem, favoring the use of his internal resources, discovering himself within all his possibilities, enhancing his value as a person in the social environment (Ballesta, Vizcamo & Tables, 2011, p. 150). Likewise, Lilia Polo (2000) states that artistic creation allows us to reach to the most secret and unspeakable feelings; play with the limits, overcome them through creative fantasy, dialogue with the real and the fictitious, take a trip back to the origins and come back to tell it (p. 312). . |
