M2 Cultural mediation / animator

Open to all programmes, the master with a focus on cultural mediation (M2 only) trains cultural mediators who can work in many fields and with different audiences. Cultural mediators play a key role in connecting culture, its players and audiences, while strengthening the links between culture and the social sector. Carried out neutrally and objectively, this role aims to make culture accessible to as many people as possible and to build a lasting relationship between the public and the world of culture.

To do so, mediators design activities and develop teaching tools adapted to different audiences (children, teenagers, adults, people with specific needs, etc.) to make artworks and artists more accessible. They work with a wide range of social, cultural and artistic partners to plan and organise their activities. Once the conditions are set, they reach out to the target audience.

They also follow up to assess the impact of their work and improve their activities where needed. This profession, which draws on a wide range of skills, includes leading activities (such as holiday courses), communication, outreach and cultural project management. This cross-disciplinary master therefore provides versatile training suited to today’s challenges in cultural mediation.

Open to all programmes, this cross-disciplinary master allows students from different backgrounds to develop varied and complementary skills for a multidisciplinary profession.
