À propos du webinaire
Organisé dans le cadre de la Semaine de l’UNESCO pour l’éducation à la culture et aux arts (25-31 mai 2026), ce webinaire international marque le lancement de l’Observatoire Art to Face, une nouvelle plateforme dédiée à la promotion des arts, de la culture et de l’éducation dans les contextes de conflit, de crise et de reconstruction post-conflit. Dans ces contextes, les pratiques artistiques et culturelles jouent un rôle essentiel en soutenant l’éducation, le bien-être psychosocial, la continuité culturelle et la consolidation de la paix. Pourtant, ces initiatives demeurent souvent fragmentées et insuffisamment visibles à l’échelle mondiale.
Le webinaire débutera par une introduction d'Albane Buriel et Teresa Torres de Eça, suivie des interventions de Maria Mathilde Stoleroff et Paula Braungart de l'UNESCO, qui présenteront la Semaine de l'éducation culturelle et artistique ainsi que le nouveau cadre.
