The partners of this programme :
The Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction owes its origins to the will of Pope Innocent VI. In 1973, with the support of the Caisse Nationale des Monuments Historiques et des Sites, the French Ministry of Culture and local authorities, a cultural center dedicated to artists in residence was set up within its walls: an original experiment in which restoration is carried out to host a national cultural program.
Today, the Centre national des écritures du spectacle is one of France’s and Europe’s leading residencies for playwrights. It hosts nearly sixty residencies a year, for playwrights and companies, research and experimentation laboratories, training cycles and masterclasses, and regularly opens its doors to the public for open rehearsals or events involving residents and other guest artists, notably in July, in partnership with the Avignon Festival.
An interministerial department attached to the Ministry of Culture, the DGLFLF mobilizes a range of public and private partners involved in promoting French and linguistic diversity. In addition, it maintains a constant dialogue with elected representatives to implement a language policy as close as possible to the local level. Internationally, the DGLFLF is involved in Francophone and European cooperation networks, as well as bilateral arrangements, with a view to exchanging best practices and expertise on language policies.
The General Delegation supports the implementation of projects that contribute to reinforcing the impact of its policy on society. The role of this support is essentially one of incentive.
