Thinking about the challenges at work and those to come
The European Meetings will bring together actors from heritage, artistic creation and cultural development to think about the challenges at work and those to come. The meeting days will allow a triple exploration of contemporary transitions: ecological transition, economic challenges, public renewal and cultural rights
ASSOCIATION OF CULTURAL MEETING CENTRES (ACCR)
Created in France in 1973, the ACCR promotes the contemporary reuse of monuments and heritage sites as places of artistic creation, transmission, research and hospitality. It acts for the conservation of the sites by reinventing these places, investing them by the dynamism of the cultural projects and the creativity of the artists, allowing the encounter with and between the inhabitants.
The ecological transition
In terms of ecological transition, the Cultural Meeting Centres must be examples of sustainable practices and be involved in raising awareness and mobilizing the public and inhabitants. Their model of operation and development is to rethink and this, at several levels: the thermal renovation of buildings and sobriety in terms of ecological footprint, the rearrangement of their programming or an adjustment of perspectives by thinking above all as places of refuge for biodiversity, which adapt to climate change.
Economic challenges
Economic challenges call for exploring new sources of finance and sustainable business models. They will be at the heart of a round table on Friday, November 17.
Renewal of audiences and cultural rights
The network of Cultural Meeting Centres pays particular attention to younger generations, for whom heritage can be a resource to find a space for dialogue. In this redesigned approach of the public and users, the notion of cultural rights constitutes a basis for reflection common to the Cultural Meeting Centres: how to create a heritage community in order to make heritage a resource that citizens seize?
La Saline Royale, a significant place for the CCR
The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a founding member of the ACCR network, was chosen as the setting for these meetings because of its emblematic role as a place of convergence between tradition and innovation.
