Passerelles, the educational and socio-artistic service of the Festival d’Aix, was created in 2007. For more than 15 years now, Passerelles has been working to promote the inclusivity of a diverse population and offers many activities including mediation, awareness and amateur arts practice throughout the year, in liaison with the municipality and the Sud-PACA region.
Every year, the program offers hundreds of free workshops, adapted to a broad target audience - children and adolescents from associative, educational, health and social structures - developed with its local partners and led by multidisciplinary artists and educators. These awareness-raising programs include artistic and creative workshops (choral singing, writing, art and visual arts, theatre, dance, etc.), meetings with technical teams, musical events and meetings with the Festival artists.
