The artistic and cultural scene in Tunisia has shown significant dynamism for over a decade, marked by a multitude of large-scale cultural events such as Dream City, Jaou, Gabès Cinéma Fen, the Carthage Days across various sectors, Kif el Kef, and more. However, beyond the events and their impact on audiences and Tunisian society at large, arises the question of the role of mediation within cultural initiatives.

Cultural mediation has a crucial role to play in the sector, especially at a time when inclusivity is strongly recommended.

Indeed, a common misconception—especially within the cultural sector—is to reduce mediation to a mere communication technique. While communication is indeed one aspect, mediation distinguishes itself by its territorial anchorage, exploring local issues. 

The term 'mediation' is also often used, with a focus on conflict resolution. Yet, let us not forget that cultural mediation is, above all, about fostering encounters. 

In Tunisia, in the training content, there is currently no specific branch dedicated to mediation in higher education. Addressing this gap, this training leverages the productivity of the Tunisian cultural scene and addresses current questions surrounding the role of the mediator and cultural rights, aiming to train professionals in this field.

Thisfirstmodule'Concepts and Challenges of Cultural Mediation / Cultural Mediation as a Meeting Point' (to be followed in 2025 by asecond, more specific module focused on the plurality of audiences and inclusive culture), seeks to broaden participants' perspectives by examining various contexts and modalities of cultural mediation. Particular emphasis is placed on enhancing participants' analytical skills, enabling them to strategically conceive, organize, and support cultural mediation projects.
