What is the Cycle des Hautes Études de la Culture (CHEC)?
Each year, the Cycle des Hautes Études de la Culture organizes a session aimed at building a strategic and shared vision on the major issues of cultural policies in the face of contemporary changes, with a triple objective of decompartmentalization, outreach and renewal approaches.
Course of the session
The CHEC Annual Session runs from September to October of the following year. It includes:
- 9 modules of 2 to 3 days per month: Thursday and Friday, sometimes extended by Saturday when the modules take place outside Paris. Each module is an opportunity to address a specific cultural policy issue. The days are organized in different partner cultural places, depending on the themes and issues addressed.
- A group work of 6 to 7 auditors on a problem related to the annual theme of the Session, giving rise to the drafting of a diagnosis and proposals returned to the directorates of the Ministry of Culture at the end of the Session.
The Session articulates a constant dialogue between a broad vision of the issues and a concrete and operational approach. To this end, the modules are organized in such a way as to highlight a triptych of findings/issues/recommendations for each subject.
The Session ends with the presentation of a title of former auditor that can be presented by everyone as a way of valuing their career and belonging to this network, which is intended to meet periodically to pursue the reflections.
