OPC: “Culture, youth and digital” training
A new concept of internship for cultural professionals, in order to build an opening to the public who have deserted the public and associative offer. By the Observatoire des Politiques Culturelles. Course led by Benoît Labourdette.
Trainee feedback
- “I think I can say that this is the first time I have come out of a training course so satisfied, both with the content I came for (the amount of resources brought and shared is impressive) and with the values shared. Benoît Labourdette’s posture is incredible in its benevolence and generosity. Super pedagogue. I feel very lucky to have been able to take part in this training. THANK YOU AGAIN!”
- “I will recommend it to anyone working in the cultural sector! The strength of this training is that it works on the philosophy and coherence of the projects, encourages peer exchange, and proposes alternatives. Whatever the subject, everyone can find something to do with it.”

Introduction to the course
The cultural offer is sometimes questioned in a brutal way by the “young” public. A questioning that manifests itself in particular by an indifference towards the prescriptions of cultural institutions, or even by a disinterest in cultural places.
In 15 years, digital technology has changed the relationship of young people to time and private space. The very definition of culture and the way it is accessed have been transformed.
The “Culture, youth and digital” training course proposes to deconstruct the preconceived ideas linked to the digital transformation. It aims to take the measure of the new representations of the world and the new cultural practices closely linked to digital technology. The course aims to equip learners to be able to reinvent adapted strategies and relevant proposals that will enable them to rethink the meaning of public action for youth.
The pedagogical device involves the participants in a creative process intended to make them experience tools and an experience of “doing”. The training is conducted in a contributive spirit, facilitated by a dedicated digital platform. Its facilitation is purposely proposed remote, to consider, within the group, reinvented forms of cooperation.
The multidisciplinary pedagogical approach allows to appropriate complex notions, especially on digital technologies and their uses.
This training will be of interest to professionals and elected officials in the cultural, social and educational fields, whether or not they are familiar with digital issues.
Objectives / skills targeted

- Design strategies, projects and cultural services for youth by working in a transversal and intersectoral manner.

In the digital age, cultural policies, whatever their field, must in my view take digital images and their uses into account by citizens, especially the younger ones.
Digital has put the image at the center of our lives. With these tools, thought and implemented in a lucid, innovative and adapted way, it is possible to invent new strategies to mobilize, give meaning and make appropriate the cultural proposals by the public.
