Presentation

Two sectors, one common roadmap.

SEEDS for Culture (2025-2028) is an Erasmus+ partnership bringing together seven partners from five countries, active in the fields of education and culture.

The objective: to strengthen synergies between these two sectors in order to promote arts and cultural education as a tool for inclusion and pedagogical innovation.

Through research, exchange of practices, and the co-construction of common tools, the partners will develop four documentary productions, available in open access, intended for teachers and cultural professionals — particularly in territories where access to culture remains limited.

  1. Strengthen cooperation between the educational and cultural sectors.
  2. Develop innovative projects in arts and cultural education.
  3. Evolve the practices of teachers and cultural professionals.
  4. Influence the educational and cultural policies of partner countries.
  5. Use arts and cultural education as a lever for inclusion.
Expected Results

It aims first and foremost at the creation and testing of innovative training tools, allowing for the development of new pedagogical approaches adapted to the needs of the target audiences. It also provides for the development of a continuing education module for teachers as well as museum and library professionals, in order to strengthen their skills and promote the sharing of best practices. Finally, the project aims to contribute to the establishment of professional networks at the European level, facilitating exchanges, cooperation, and the dissemination of knowledge between the various stakeholders in the sector.
