Customized discoveries, shows and visits
The Quai Branly museum gave out tickets for the exhibition La Part de l’Ombre, Sculptures du sud-ouest congolais, which were used by the association Proxité, students from the Iron Academy Ecole de Production and L’Industreet. Similarly, young people supported by the associations Action Emploi Réfugiés, Wake up Café, the Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil and Télémarque visited the Juifs d’Orient exhibition at the Arab World Institute (IMA). On each occasion, they were taken round by an experienced guide who explained the cultural depth of the exhibition.
The Paris National Opera has also enabled many young people and associations to attend performances of the Marriage of Figaro, Turandot and Parsifal, dance lessons or work sessions, and to visit the actual Opera building. Sport dans la ville, and l’Institut de l’Engagement were able to take advantage of this initiative, and in May this year, about fifty Cadets from the Marseilles Naval Fire Battalion (BMPM) visited the wings of the Opéra Garnier. This association invites teenagers from underprivileged neighborhoods in the city to familiarize themselves with the universe and values of the Naval Fire Battalion. It also invites them to participate in different sports or cultural activities to awaken their spirit of citizenship.
