Το πρόγραμμα Odyssée στηρίζει την διαμονή καλλιτεχνών, ερευνητών/τριών και επαγγελματιών από το χώρο του πολιτισμού που δεν προέρχονται από και δε διαμένουν στη Γαλλία και που επιθυμούν να αναπτύξουν προγράμματα εντός του δικτύου πολιτιστικών κέντρων της Γαλλίας.

Είναι ανοιχτό σε όλους τους τομείς: παραστατικές τέχνες, λογοτεχνία, μουσική, αρχιτεκτονική, χειροτεχνία, πλαστικές τέχνες, θεατρικό έργο, κινούμενα σχέδια, φωτογραφία, δημοσιογραφία κ.λπ.

Το πρόγραμμα Odyssée διευθύνεται από την Association des Centres culturels de rencontres (ACCR). Τα πολιτιστικά αυτά κέντρα υποδέχονται καλλιτεχνικά, πολιτιστικά και πνευματικά εγχειρήματα που δημιουργούνται σε συνεργασία με τον σημαντικό τόπο πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς στο οποίο βρίσκονται.

Το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού της Γαλλίας υποστηρίζει την Association des Centres culturels de rencontres (ACCR) στο πλαίσιο της προσπάθειας ενίσχυσης των διαπολιτισμικών ανταλλαγών και της φιλοξενίας ξένων καλλιτεχνών και επαγγελματιών του πολιτισμού στη Γαλλία.

Οι δηλώσεις συμμετοχής θα παραμείνουν ανοιχτές έως τις 2 Μαρτίου 2024.
