What was your path at IESA arts&culture?
I completed the 1-year professional program in Cultural Project Management under an individual training leave (CIF) funded by my company. It lasted about 10 months, including two internship periods and the web culture option.
This continuing education program let me explore three cultural fields in greater depth: performing arts and exhibition installation, heritage enhancement and cultural tourism, and finally, web culture.
It was all complemented by seminars and evening workshops. The strength of this cultural training for adults lay in the quality of its instructors, all professionals in the cultural field.
I did my first internship with a theater company, La Transplanisphère. It involved helping put together a grant application to be submitted to the European Union commission. I was delighted to learn that this teamwork helped the company obtain the requested grant.
I did my second internship at the Thuillier gallery, located in the Marais, where I regularly exhibit. I was the gallery director’s assistant; this period let me put into practice the teaching I received at IESA Paris.
I completed my training cycle with the web culture option, through which I gained a good grasp of how to use the web.
To conclude, this culture careers program was very interesting, the quality of the instructors was excellent, and I met people from different backgrounds who have since become friends.
Why did you choose our school?
I chose this school for the variety of its programs, the quality of its instructors, and its international outlook.
Indeed, the 1-year professional program in Cultural Project Administration has a rich, multidisciplinary curriculum: administration, cultural project management, production, exhibition installation, cultural tourism, heritage enhancement, and more.
This school had everything I wanted, and I made it my choice!
What do you take away from your cultural training?
It helped me better understand the world of culture as a whole. I also understood that my training must not stop: I must keep learning in a constantly evolving sector. You have to stay on top of developments and keep learning.
How did the training help you in carrying out your real-scale project?
It may be a bit early to talk about it, as I am still carrying out my project. However, the working groups on sponsorship and grant applications helped me prepare my files in seeking private or public partners.
I could say more about what this training contributed once my cultural event is over.
