For several years, Œuvre Nationale has been organising, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and House of Training, the “Cultural Mediation” training programme, aimed at professionals looking to make their practices more accessible.
On 28 April 2025, the closing event brought together participants, speakers and partners in a welcoming setting that encouraged open exchange. Discussions focused on emerging practices, challenges encountered in the field, and future perspectives for cultural mediation in Luxembourg.
Building on this momentum, a call for proposals was launched for the 2026 edition, with the aim of supporting new initiatives and further advancing more inclusive cultural practices.
