Training presentation
Faced with the complexity and challenges facing festival organizations, the OTACC Chair and IMPGT are developing a post-graduate diploma (DESU) dedicated to reinforcing the entrepreneurial and managerial skills of professionals in the festival and event industry, in a responsible, social and supportive dynamic.
This specialized diploma is designed above all to train professionals who wish to move into service management or executive positions in a festival organization, whatever the artistic discipline.
Operation supported by the French government as part of the AMI "Compétences et Métiers d'Avenir" of the France 2030 Program, operated by Caisse des Dépôts (La Banque des Territoires).

Objectives
— Make up for the lack of specialized training in festival entrepreneurship and management.
— The DESU is designed to respond to the need for training in festival management skills, to help young graduates take up new management positions, and to enable existing managers to put their practices into perspective by reinforcing their skills in the fundamental areas of entrepreneurship and management.
— The training must therefore be in touch with the players in the field.
— Develop the versatility of DESU graduates in managing societal transition projects.
— The skills developed should be both cross-disciplinary (ticketing, communications, production, programming, cultural action, etc.) and managerial (legal, social, management (executive), accounting, governance issues (private/public)).
— Strengthen the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial, social and solidarity-based approach within the events sector, by training in inclusive governance mechanisms and experimenting with inclusive management spaces, practices and tools.
— Encourage peer-to-peer transmission and foster professional solidarity within the industry by encouraging the exchange of practices between professionals during this university training program.
— Encourage the inclusion of several disciplines and aesthetics in festival projects.
