Call for projects - Artist(s) residency in school 2023/2024 (Strasbourg Academy)

Arts and Cultural Education in the Academy of Strasbourg

Arts and cultural education in schools is implemented within the framework of the Gip-Acmisa (Groupement d'intérêt public - action culturelle en milieu scolaire d'Alsace) formed between the Academy, the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs Grand Est, communities (cities of Colmar, Mulhouse, Strasbourg, Eurométropole de Strasbourg and the European Community of Alsace) and patrons (teaching mutual credit) and in partnership with the Grand Est region.

Of all the schemes supported by the GIP-Acmisa, the residency is part of the students' artistic and cultural education and radiates over a territory.

Artist residency, a specific artistic and cultural education system

The residency implements three fundamental approaches to arts and cultural education:
- the encounter with a work through the discovery of a creative process;
- artistic practice, cultural practice through the linking of different fields of knowledge
- the construction of an aesthetic judgment.

It also encourages the discovery and use of places of creation and artistic diffusion.
It aims to instill a dynamic that takes into account the specific characteristics of each territory, in terms of pedagogical, artistic and cultural issues. Thus a residence is nourished by the encounters that the artistic teams have with the population living in this territory, above all with the children and the young of school age
