Practical implications for cross-border workers The event organized by Confindustria Como offers cross-border workers who commute to Ticino and reside in Italy a concrete opportunity to deepen the link between art, culture, and health. According to a 2022 study conducted by the University of Italian Switzerland (USI), 68% of the cross-border workers interviewed stated that they had improved their psycho-physical well-being by participating in cultural events. For example, residents of Como who work in Lugano can benefit from discounts on tickets for exhibitions and concerts thanks to agreements between the Municipality of Como and cultural institutions in Ticino. - Operational checklist for cross-border workers: - Verify the active agreements between your municipality of residence and the cultural institutions in Ticino. - Plan participation in cultural events during weekends or days off. - Take advantage of initiatives such as 'Culture in Ticino', which offers tourist packages at reduced prices for cross-border workers. ### Comparison with the previous situation In the past, the link between art, culture, and health was a less explored theme. Today, thanks to initiatives like that of Confindustria Como, the importance of cultural participation as a pillar of a new welfare is increasingly recognized. For example, the 2019 Ticino cantonal regulation on health promotion introduced contributions of up to 5,000 CHF for projects that integrate art and well-being. This innovative approach can offer new opportunities to promote well-being and favor longevity. 📊 Comparison between practical scenarios: - Before 2019: Lack of specific legislation that promotes the integration between art and health. - After 2019: Introduction of contributions of up to 5,000 CHF for proj...
