Course contents :  The idea of lifelong learning is a guiding thread in public cultural policy. The purpose of this idea is to aim at the development of citizenship through critical reflection and collective action. The knowledge of the past or major works, artistic taste, these are so many practices that may or may not be part of the social heritage that is transmitted to us, an uneven heritage which must be taken up and appropriated, but which helps forge our identities.

Thus it is desirable that a practitioner within the cultural sphere should understand the basis of our cultural policy and its many aspects (youth policy, libraries, cultural centers, arts...), and be able to design his or her own cultural project.
Course objective :  
  • To be able to identify the concept of lifelong learning as opposed to the concept of continuing education/training
  • To be able to define one's mode of action within the framework of the democratization of culture, as opposed to cultural democracy
  • To be able to design a personal project of cultural action in relation to the aforementioned concepts
