Apologies for cross-posting
Applications are invited for the francophone Courants du Monde programme
for 3 weeks in November 2007.
The sessions bring together about a hundred culture professionals for a
mix of theory and practical workshops. With the participation of speakers
and fellow delegates, the programme is designed to promote exchanges of
knowledge and experience. Attendees follow one stream for most of the
programme, with some joint sessions for all delegates. The streams are
hosted by leading institutions such as l'Université Paris-Dauphine,
l'Observatoire national des Politiques Culturelles, la Direction des
archives de France, la Bibliothèque nationale de France et la Bibliothèque
publique d'information. La Maison des Cultures du Monde coordinates the
overall organisation of the programme.
Streams include
Financement et Economie de la Culture
Politiques Culturelles et leur Administration
