Humans and Animals: A Vital Bond. Health, Emotions and Coexistence
This seminar reflects on the relationship between humans and animals from an interdisciplinary perspective. We will explore how this bond influences people’s physical and emotional health, the benefits of animal-assisted therapies, and also the ethical risks and challenges it may involve. Through practical examples and scientific evidence, we will analyze the role animals play in our lives and in contemporary society.
