Platform regional resource centre culture-handicap Midi-Pyrénées

The Culture and Disability Regional Resource Centre is an association created on 4 September 2014. It brings together professionals from the cultural field and the medico-social sector around a common goal, that of promoting and promoting the accessibility of people with disabilities to culture:

  • public access to works
  • accessibility to artistic practice
  • access to education and vocational training in the cultural sector (universities, conservatories, arts schools)
  • accessibility to cultural professions

A double imperative: ethics and legal

The Regional Resource Centre for Culture and Disability aims to contribute to the construction of a more egalitarian society, capable of accepting differences and allowing themselves to be enriched by them.

Our goal is to make the artistic field accessible to all. It is ethically right that everyone should be able to participate in the life of the City, that everyone should have the opportunity to build himself personally and socially. As such, cultural accessibility has every legitimacy to be defended. Cultural spaces are par excellence places for meetings, exchanges, citizenship and identity building. Through artistic activity, man thinks of himself, shakes up his representations, delivers his piece of truth on the enigma of the world, claims, plays with emotions, meets the Other… The functions of Art are infinite… The world of Art has everything to gain from this openness, because the acceptance of difference can only come to complicate and enrich the diversity of its representations and its relationships to the world.

To this end, the website events taking into account the issue of disability, disseminates job and training opportunities sector and archive of resources documentaries, legal and administrative… related to disability and culture.
It is run by professional cultural, medico-social and employment structures registered.

Culture division MDPH 45

Inaugurated on 23 October 2009, the "Culture Centre" of the Maison départementale des personnes handicapées is a unique service in France that facilitates access to culture and leisure for people with disabilities.
The MDPH45 culture cluster is a true innovation for equal access for people with disabilities to cultural opportunities. The result of a partnership between the Loiret General Council and the Caisse Nationale de Solidarité pour l'Autonomie (CNSA), it has been gradually established since 2008 at the association’s premises Cemaforre in Orléans.
The “MDPH 45 Culture Division” relies on:

  • a steering committee meeting once a year to define guidelines and actions, whose members are:
  • the association for the promotion of persons with disabilities in the Loiret
  • the Regional Health Agency
  • CEMAFORRE
  • the Loiret General Council
  • the Centre’s Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs
  • the Departmental Directorate of Social Cohesion of the Loiret
  • the Departmental House of disabled people of Loiret
  • a circle of partners bringing together associations of disabled people, actors and operators from the fields of culture, tourism, health, social and medico-social, communities.

Led by Cemaforre, this territorial action mechanism has three main objectives:

  • help people with disabilities to express their cultural needs,

Culture-Santé Cluster in Aquitaine

The project and missions:
Since 2007, the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs, the Regional Health Agency and the Aquitaine Region have jointly supported cultural and artistic activities in hospitals. In 2011, in order to develop the Culture and Health policy, the public authorities in partnership with the Bergonié Institute and the association Script took the initiative to create a Pole of Competence Culture and Health in the form of a Cooperative Society of Collective Interest (SCIC).
SCIC is part of the social and solidarity economy sector,
whose main values are:
• Promoting action and living together through collective initiative, cooperation and civic responsibility;
• the association of internal and external solidarity principles with economic principles of production and exchange;
• the prevalence of the service provided relative to the profit generated;
• responding to societal needs and aspirations within a territory.

The aims of this cooperation structure are to:
• to develop in the field of health access to the cultural dimensions of the hospital world, both in terms of its anthropological characteristics and in terms of its artistic and heritage activities – by mobilizing and organizing the necessary resources;
• participate in the awareness raising and training of cultural and health stakeholders for the co-construction of artistic and cultural action projects in hospitals;
• Fostering inter-hospital dynamics in Aquitaine to promote achievements and broaden partnerships.

The three missions of the Culture & Health Cluster in Aquitaine:
SCIC Culture et Santé en Aquitaine allows health and cultural professionals, communities, associations, businesses and anyone interested to participate in this territory project.
• Inform and advise
– Information on national and regional agreements (aims of this public policy; recommended methodology; eligibility criteria for projects, etc.);
– Assistance to project management for diagnosis, qualification of objectives, identification of resources (internal and external) and cultural and institutional partnerships for project implementation.

• Train
In partnership with the departmental and regional cultural agencies and with the artistic and cultural resource centres of the Aquitaine region, several training courses are offered for both hospital and cultural stakeholders. They can be part of training plans for health facilities and cultural structures.
General training aimed at discovering the challenges of a Culture and Health project approach, providing elements of method based on reference experiences…
Thematic trainings aimed at deepening knowledge by taking specific approaches (cultural and/or clinical and institutional, etc.).
In 2012, an action research programme will be set up with the universities of Bordeaux.

• Federate
Support hospitals and their cultural partners in the development of transversal projects at regional level and propose interregional, European and international exchanges.

The project territory:
The Skills Centre will work with departmental relays. These departmental relays will be set up in the course of 2012 with the partners of the regional convention to:
• Foster connections between health and cultural stakeholders at the local level;
• identify the project support and training needs that the division could meet;
• contribute to the reflection of public partners on the desirable developments of the Culture and Health Convention in Aquitaine;
• Contribute to the mobilization of local authorities in this policy.

On January 17, 2012, about forty professionals and health, medico-social and cultural structures met to found the regional association interSTICES - inter Structure Territoires Innovation Culture et Santé in Rhône-Alpes.
interSTICES’s mission is to raise awareness of the challenges of the Culture and Health approach in order to foster the development of new initiatives. In its action programme, a synthesis of the needs and expectations expressed by the project promoters, it wishes to contribute to reflection, exchanges and recognition of practices and actors. It finally positions itself as a platform for cooperation at the service of project leaders, a tool for sharing and support at the regional level.
Moreover, given the experience of its members, interSTICES offers its skills and expertise for operators of the regional Culture and Health program. It thus intervenes, on behalf of the Regional Agency of Health (ARS), the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC) and the Region, on coordination and animation of the system.
Projects at the crossroads between the field of health and the cultural sector can provide valuable insights to work on the meaning of the professions and activities that constitute them, and to define new orientations.

  • trainings
  • sharing platform: network animation
  • expertise/competence: AMO
