French Community

Along with artistic creation and diffusion, and the preservation of the heritage, participation is an important dimension to the cultural life in the French Community. Many associations - of local, regional or community scope, and that concern young people and adults - develop cultural projects. These projects focus on the participation of citizens in the cultural and social life, on the education and the sensitisation to the stakes of citizenship and democracy, on artistic and cultural practices, as well as on the creativity linked to the social environment of the groups concerned.
