Accès Culture 2023-2026
This programme is open to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and cultural establishments of local authorities (conservatories, municipal art schools, etc.) who will work in pairs on a project that responds to a local need. The primary objective is to use culture to promote social cohesion by developing cultural activities for those who are farthest away from the cultural offer for social, economic or geographical reasons.
