The innovative project Tussentijd/Interlude strengthens the connection between scientific psychiatry and society through cocreation. With a new form of science communication, via music and composing, the fundamentals of psychiatry are communicated to hard-to-reach target groups: patients with severe mental illness, experience experts and their loved ones. Through music sessions, live music cafes and digital dialogue sessions, exchanges are created in which the target groups scientific literacy is enhanced, as they learn to assess the value of scientific knowledge for their own lives. With extensive communication activities (podcasts, videos, digital tools, media coverage), this process is shared with a wide audience.
