About RECETAS

RECETAS (Reimagining Environments for Connection and Engagement: Testing Actions for Social Prescribing in Nature) is a Horizon 2020-funded project exploring how nature-based social prescribing can improve mental health and wellbeing in urban areas. By connecting people to green spaces and community activities, RECETAS aims to combat loneliness and promote resilience across 7 pilot cities (Barcelona, Cuenca, Helsinki, Marseille, Melbourne, Prague, and more). The project brings together researchers, policymakers, and local communities to co-create solutions for healthier, more connected societies.
