Body of work: work practices and experiences and non-fiction cinema

How does work affect our personal relationships? Whether at the workplace with one’s colleagues or with the important people in one’s life—family, friends—how do the pressures of work change the way one approaches others? On the other hand, how does the collaborative effort of work positively impact our communities? Through the lenses of cinema and the documentaries featured in the 2024 Healthy Workplaces Film Award selection, we examine the different ways in which work shapes our bonds with others.

In partnership with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work.

The session will be held in English, with no translation. Free admittance.
