About
SISM: The GEM "Le Cap de Bonne Espérance" invites you to unleash your creativity on Wednesday, October 14, 2026
On the occasion of the Mental Health Information Weeks (SISM), the Mutual Aid Group (GEM) Le Cap de Bonne Espérance is organizing a day of meeting and discovery under the theme "For our mental health, let's open ourselves to the arts!"
The association proposes to discover how artistic expression can become a wonderful lever for daily well-being.
How to take care of one's mental health and strengthen social bonds?
For the GEM Le Cap de Bonne Espérance, the answer lies in sharing, self-expression, and creativity. On Wednesday, October 14, the association will open its doors to members as well as curious visitors for a day of immersive and warm workshops.
This day is fully part of the SISM dynamics, whose objective is to raise public awareness and destigmatize issues related to mental health through culture.
Developing skills through four thematic workshops
The day's program has been designed to allow everyone to experience different variations of art in a benevolent and stimulating atmosphere:
- Body Theater (Gestural Art): The art of mime and gesture. A workshop to learn how to express yourself without a word, release your movements, and play with space.
- Exhibition & Creation (Creative Art): A real ephemeral, inspiring, and colorful art gallery to come and admire the works and talents of the GEM members.
- Cultural Tasting (Culinary Art): A gustatory journey to awaken the taste buds and share new flavors in a friendly atmosphere.
- Creation of Objects & Goodies (Crafts): A manufacturing space to design your own souvenirs in the colors of this day and leave with your unique creation.
Our take on this event
Art can be the ultimate bridge to mindfulness and new connections within a truly inclusive space. Swing by this welcoming hub to unlock your creative side through interactive theater workshops, crafty sessions, and delicious local treats.
