The majority of courses are taught by a combination of teacher-researchers and industry professionals.

Training content
For the 2024-2025 academic year
All skill blocks (BCC) are backed by research. Students are members of IMPGT's OTACC Chair. This anchoring in the Chair offers the opportunity to immerse students in the cultural sector (alternating work and on-site assessment).
BCC 1: Designing the strategy for a social and solidarity-based cultural project : aims to understand the logic of the strategic approach and acquire all the tools involved: e.g. tools for diagnosing and positioning a project. Example of application: Master's students join the OTACC Chair incubator and must design and manage a cultural project over the two years of the Master's program. These projects tend to be sustainable (examples of student projects : ECHOES, PAREA Production). The first phase of the incubation program focuses on carrying out a territorial diagnosis to define the project's strategic positioning.
BCC 2: Managing a social and solidarity-based cultural project: aims to acquire the skills needed to manage the various links in the value chain of a cultural organization (HRM, finance, public relations, production, etc.). Example of application: The second phase of the incubation program focuses on the organization, coordination and team management of the various resources involved in the cultural project.
BCC 3: Evaluating a social and solidarity-based cultural project: aims to understand and implement the strategic evaluation approach: from the creation of an evaluation frame of reference to the mobilization of tools for collecting and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data. Example of application: In Master 2, students work in teams to carry out intervention research within the Chair's partner structures, in order to evaluate societal transition projects.
BCC 4: Anchoring your project in a changing cultural environment: aims to understand changes and major shifts in the cultural sector. Examples of applications: Co-production of a podcast by Master's students and radio-grenouille on the theme of cultural management professions, design and production of the "Journées Culturelles de la Chaire" (Cultural Days of the Chair) in partnership with OTACC Chair partners.
BCC 5: Fostering employability: aims to support students in their post-master's employment. Example of application: Various "employability" exercises are carried out during the Master's program: skills assessment, job survey, professional dissertation, interview simulation, etc. Students can choose one of the following three specialties in Master 2: management of contemporary music, festival management, management of cultural and creative industries.

In charge of the administration of Passerelles (the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence's cultural mediation service), the functions are focused on managing the partnership, the artists (contracts - follow-up of actions) and the administrations (agreements) that collaborate with the mission of raising awareness around the artistic programming of the coming season. Financial and budgetary management of the Passerelles department and its team are also part of the job description.
What I like most about my job :
Above all, it's a team effort focused on a common goal, with each of the nine people who work in the department having a precise role. Combining functional tasks with my passion for opera really makes the job worthwhile. We're not here by chance. The commitment is real, and the satisfaction is all the greater when neophyte audiences, who have taken part in the awareness-raising courses, joyfully participate in the project.
