Round table/workshop
« Mediation function », practical cases of professions in perpetual definition
2-4 PM, ATRIA – Convention centre

A pivotal function between the inside and the outside, mediation has developed in the cultural sector to the point of being at the heart of its missions. Information, transmission, sharing, relations, participation, education, empowerment these notions associated with the field of mediation reveal multiple ways of thinking about this field of action. Through the sharing of experiences and the observation of professional approches from various structures and countries, the aim is to understand the differences, the obstacles and the shared values.
