Eligible entities
Eligible candidates are partnerships rooted in equal cooperation and an exchange of good practice between one French and one African entity.
Eligible entities include: associations, foundations, locally or regionally run cultural public establishments having been in operation for at least two years.
The Accès Culture programme also encourages revitalising cooperation between existing partners.
Eligible projects
Eligible projects feature cultural cooperation and are oriented around community arts outreach (awareness and arts education, initiation into a specific art medium, organisation of artistic get-togethers, etc.).
The primary goal is to strengthen social ties in Africa by bringing the arts closer to individuals who would otherwise have limited access to such cultural exposure due to their social, economic, cultural and/or geographic background or because of their gender or a disability.
