K2SP 2085 - Ecological and social transitions in the cultural sector

The pandemic and the multiplication of extreme climatic phenomena have led to a heightened awareness in all economic sectors and particularly in the cultural sector, which is starting to transform and to cooperate showing a greater maturity on the topic.

For a long time lacking in indicators, concrete tools and financial means, culture has indeed recently been accelerating and developing, for several years now, concrete solutions to reduce its negative impacts as well as to maximize its positive impacts, notably its capacity to transform imaginations and raise awareness.

The course proposes to address, through theoretical and practical examples, the main issues facing cultural institutions, particularly in France, and the way in which it is possible for policy makers to act. The objective is to give students the keys to training, to mobilizing resources and to contributing to the transformation of public policies through a renewed leadership.

Sessions 1 to 3 of this course will be dedicated to the carbon cycle and to the measurement of environmental and social impacts in the cultural sector.

Sessions 4 to 9 will then show students a few concrete actions that can be implemented to reduce the footprint, both ecological and social, of cultural institutions and events.

In sessions 9 to 12, students will be confronted with governance aspects and will work on how public policies can not only shape a reduced footprint but also allow for a greater brainprint.
