Organization of the training
Students alternate every month for about three weeks in the partner structures, and one week in class. This rhythm has been established in consultation with the professional partners, in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real working rhythm of the cultural structures.
The realization of a cultural project, the obligatory field experience (2 to 6 months long internship or apprenticeship and/or professionalization) and the formalization of a portfolio of skills, are central to the MDOMC course. They are accompanied by a set of courses (methodology and support) aimed at strengthening the operational skills and professional integration of graduates.
This Master's Degree applies a training course in the Competency-Based Approach. It puts forward a concrete approach to the problems that graduates will be confronted with, both in the context of their learning missions and as future actors in the cultural sector. This approach is therefore based on numerous case studies and projects, which the students must carry out throughout the year, in fields covering the widest possible spectrum of activities: Marketing, Communication, Budget, Law, Human Resources, Cultural Project Development, etc.
A training course that mixes theory and practice: the majority of courses are given by a teaching-research pair and professionals from the sector. Personalized support towards the first job: Students are individually accompanied during the two years of training to facilitate their transition to the professional world (skills assessment, acquisition of a portfolio of "artistic, cultural and creative manager" skills, definition of the professional project, HR coaching "cv and motivation interview", etc.).

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.
