Presentation

The Assises de la diversité are a response to the urgency of giving voice and visiblity to minorities in the public sphere. Bringing together actors of the performing arts, they aim to analyse the obstacles to the representation of marginalised groups and to offer concrete solutions, with the goal of producing a study report led by the Institut Troisième Lieu in order to support cultural actors and institutions in objectivising the situation and in establishing, adjusting, or strengthening tools for action.
