Institutions that have benefited from artist-residency matches in the past 3 years or that benefit from other DRAC-supported schemes (De Visu, CTEJ, etc.) are not a priority.

An educational institution may submit only one project, with the exception of universities.

NB: Projects can cross different types of partner structures. In particular, for the 1st degree, around the question of the link with extra-curricular and extra-curricular time and for the 1st and second degrees around cycle 3.

The projects of twinning-residencies of journalists in media and information education provide for the reception of journalists for a work of transmission around their professions and around the construction of information.

Within the scope defined by the specifications (which you will find at the bottom of the page), the contents remain free and journalists are invited to invent all forms of mediation that they consider relevant according to their own practices, to raise awareness of their journalistic work.

A minimum of 2 classes must be directly involved in the action, with 20 hours of journalistic intervention per minimum student. But an influence on the entire educational structure must be sought, through other forms of intervention (meeting of journalists, punctual workshops, dissemination of small form in situ, conferences...).

The expected journalistic presence is a minimum of two weeks. The twinning-residences of journalists will have to be the subject of an agreement between the two partner structures.

The DRAC grant of up to €5,000 to the artistic partner (legal entity) represents a maximum of 75% of the project budget (65% for higher education), the institution/structure mobilizes its resources and calls on partners in its sector.

This grant is strictly for the intervention of journalists, for the 2023/2024 school year. All project-induced expenditure may be included in the budget but the DRAC grant does not cover the purchase of equipment, ticketing and transport of project beneficiaries.

For more information on financing, you can consult the specifications found at the bottom of the page.

The projects will be examined by juries made up of representatives of DRAC Normandie, the Rector of the academy of Normandy, DSDEN, Departments, DRAAF, ComUE.

The twinning-residencies of journalists in media and information education will have to be the subject of an agreement between the two partner structures.

These indicators must be recalled on the balance sheet provided in the appendix. This sheet will be sent within three months after the end of the project.
