100% EAC label

The High Council for Arts and Cultural Education (HCEAC) brings together the actors of the EAC in a perspective of sharing and analysis of practices at the service of ambitious generalization policy.

The HCEAC, a collegiate body of thirty members co-chaired by the ministers in charge of education and culture, proposes guidelines on artistic and cultural education. Representatives of several ministries (responsible for culture, education, youth, agriculture, higher education, the city, the family) sit alongside major actors of local authorities represented by associations of elected officials, and qualified personalities from the academic, cultural and associative world. Emmanuel Ethis, Rector of the Brittany Academic Region, is its Vice-President. Between 2018 and 2020, the representatives of ten laboratory territories met in 100% EAC College to bring their experience for the development of the methodological tools that accompany the 100% EAC label.

The Practical Guide to the Territorial Inventory, the result of this consultation, presents criteria for analysis and evaluation in three levels, in order to help the candidate communities to evaluate their policy in favour of the generalization of the EAC and to propose a five-year strategy to achieve this by formulating their own objectives.

• Communes
• Departments

Local authorities can apply for the label. You represent a territorial collectivity or an intercommunality (municipalities, communities of communes, agglomeration communities, urban communities, metropolises, etc.) with:

• several schools;
• places to welcome young people aged 3 to 18;
• a diversity of cultural actors able to offer resources and partnerships.

The following are not eligible:

• companies,
• associations,
• cultural structures,
• schools,
• central governments.

1) Self-assessment, by the territories themselves wishing to engage in the process of generalization of the EAC, to formulate the strategy to reach the "100% EAC" over a period of 5 years.

The criteria examine several aspects related to:

• the content of the projects: artistic and cultural approach (respecting the Charter for Arts and Cultural Education, available at the bottom of the page)
• temporality: school time/ outside school time, family environment
• to the public concerned: early childhood, higher education, etc.
• the implementation of projects by cultural partners
• piloting and evaluation.

The criteria are presented in the a practical guide to the territorial inventory.

Particular attention is paid to the fully inclusive dimension of these projects, including the consideration of priority territories and specific audiences.

2° The decision to label 100% EAC is jointly taken and co-signed, after consulting the departments concerned, by the regional prefect and the rector of the academy.

This label is granted for a renewable period of five years, after examination of the files by the regional directorates of cultural affairs and academic delegations to arts and culture, who can as much as necessary mobilize the expertise of their partners involved in the generalization of arts and cultural education.

• File Opening: March 15, 2023
• Application deadline: 30 September 2023, at 23:59 (Paris time). No application can be filed or taken into account by this date.
• Joint instruction by the Rectorate and the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs, which may involve other experts: autumn 2023
• Joint award of the 100% EAC label by letter co-signed by the regional prefect and the rector of the academy on the advice of the services, for a period of 5 years, at the end of 2023.
