The cultural sector is “an essential tool in politic context of exit from the crisis” for the European Union, which wants it to build new answers to the stakes created by the refugees running away from their countries and by the increase of extremisms, leaning on creativity and innovation to stimulate intercultural dialogue. Today, the regulatory frames to secure cultural manifestations in urban space are evolving due to terrorist attacks. Numerous antitethical debates between cultural structures and local and national authorities tend to renew concertation modes and build new pragmatic answers to facilitate the celebration of cultural diversity in urban space. This project is led by Samba Résille (FR), in partnership with Enjoy (IT), Suba Attila (HU) and Artscape (SA), 4 cultural structures that have in common the organisation of artistic actions, seen like spaces of creativity, celebration of cultural diversity, social and professional inclusion of vulnerable publics, and influences of their territories. This project is about creative dynamiques and security obligations of public spaces, through the development of personnel's skills, thanks to a transnational cooperation allowing the learning of the peers to increase their abilities to operate on a transnational level, and plans activities according to 4 topics : developping abilities to organize itself developping abilities to communicate developping abilities to adapt developping abilities to know how to act with the following goals : co-create innovating, creative and participating mediation modes, leaning on inter-cultural approaches improve their abilities to offer freed educative environments, which promote inclusion of vulnerable publics in their non formal ways to learn and develop artistic, technical and managerial skills for their personnel, and basic interdisciplinary and social skills, to act the best way possible in inter-cultural and transnational contexts. The program organizes 40 days of learning activities for 100 individual mobilities, in addition to the 6 transnational meetings for project managing and monitoring. It will allow to renew artistic, technical, and managerial approaches of the participants, and will contribute to strengthen the internationalisation of all the stakeholders. The unique pedagogical approache allows creativity, adapts to participant's needs and integrates the experiential knowledge through innovating digital certifications. It will reinforce linguistic, numerical, social and civic skills, as well as the development of analisis, initiative and business spirit of the 178 trainers, organizers, project managers and administrators, who 114 among them are in vulnerable situation. The learning activities tend to offer a positive experience to the participants, and to communicate good practices and project results to more than 245 persons among the personnel within the partnership, and to 497 persons among the institutional, cultural and learning red. The steering committee gathers representatives of the 4 structures. It ventilated and planned all the tools and active procedures during the whole project, through a longitudinal, appeciative and participative evaluation. The tools guarantee a full particpation of all stakeholders to measure results, changes and impact of the project, to make readable its diffusion and to guarantee its durability. Thus, the post-project activities of diffusion to the cultural sector and the local authorities will promote concrete actions about conditions to gather in order to always celebrate cultural diversity thanks to the cohabitation of creative freedom and public spaces security. The international dimension of the project will allow to consider the durability of this cooperation, by opening to other operators in Europe and beyond Europe, thanks to the conception of projects belonging to 2020 strategy of the European Union for intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth. The cultural sector represents 4,6 % of European GDP (gross domestic product) for 3,8 % of active population. It continues to grow even in difficult economic periods, and everywhere in Europe, the cultural industries bring an important contribution to create jobs and economic and social resources.
« Celebrate cultural diversity in urban space » is a project focused on an actual problem, the capacity of the cultural stakeholders to maintain intercultural activities in an environment becoming hostile because of the tendency of the population to close on itself, and targeted a theme on the agenda, the security in cultural places and events, and in particular the risks linked to the terrorist attacks and their consequences on the creative and managerial jobs. With a cultural, social and societal aim, the project gathered 4 cultural organizations with different status, roles, experiences and complementary skills, and having in common an expertise regarding teaching methods: -Samba Resille, coordinator, expert in creating major events in public spaces, and spaces of artistic and inclusive practices, in particular for people with mental or sensorial disability; -Enjoy, the Italian partner, expert in using technics from the Commedia Dell’arte and the contemporary theatre of Grotowski, to facilitate the creation of freed learning spaces ; -Infopress media bt., the Hungarian partner, specialized in training musicians and looking for promoting an intercultural dialogue in a closed country ; -Artscape, the South African partner, with the experience of a cultural and international enterprise, and the expertise of managing very risky situations and zones before and after the Apartheid.

Each organization identified key people dedicated to the different themes of the project (coordination of the activities, administrative management, and communication), integrated the administrative rules of the European projects for cooperation, and had all the previous experiences in the management of Erasmus + projects. The participants benefited from learning spaces and exchanges of good practices, co-built in a program of activities adapted to the capacities of the participants, in answer of the needs diagnosed before the application.

This program of activities allowed to : -receive and share good practices of social, economic, participative and inclusive governance, in an environment favorable to the exchanges, flows and common creations of knowledge between the participants, thanks to a work on common values, what is at stake in the capitalization of experiences and educational valorization in annual reports of organizations, and securing professional careers in the artistic and cultural sector; - learn how to conceive and offer freed educational environments, favorable to the inclusion of vulnerable audiences in their non-formal learning process, through Commedia dell’arte and Grotowski technics; -analyze the national public policies and the NGO practices regarding the migratory flows, the new problems of security and the inclusion of the most vulnerable; -learn how to evaluate the risks and to develop our own creativity to conceive the compensatory measures through analytic exercises with the example of a major festival and confronting the works with experts on safety and security in public spaces. These activities and results, consistent with the expected ones, had been supervised by the Steering Committee, which gathered the representatives of the 4 partners, ventilated and planned all the tools and active procedures throughout the life cycle of the project around a longitudinal, appreciative and participative evaluation.
