Our flagship programmes aim to support the professional development of socio-cultural workers, contribute to the structuring of the sector, and encourage cooperation and innovation.
You find them all here, from our longstanding training schemes Incubator and Lights On, to newer initiatives such as the Up Grants microgrants contest and the Closing the Gap advocacy cycle.
