Access to culture

In France, we are lucky to have a historical heritage and a proactive policy led by the State, which allows us to have a large number of offers of cultural facilities such as libraries, theaters, cinemas, museums … Unfortunately, not all countries are so lucky and the Covid-19 crisis has reduced access to culture. The protection and promotion of culture is a human rights obligation. Participation in cultural life guarantees the right to access culture and cultural heritage.

According to the law of July 29, 1998, article 140 “Equal access for all, throughout life, to culture, sports, holidays and leisure constitutes a national objective. It makes it possible to guarantee the effective exercise of citizenship. ".
