Summary: The University of Rennes 2 - Haute Bretagne will be hosting this joint session in Rennes from 10 to 12 April 2008; it will focus on "intangible cultural heritage" and how it can be taken into account in regional heritage mediation career planning.

The University of Rennes 2 - Haute Bretagne has been preparing this diploma for the last two years in cooperation with the Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs (DRAC) for Brittany. The diploma is the product of a joint consultation led at the European level by the Alliance of European Cultural Cities (AVEC, of which the city of Tours is member), universities in several European countries and the International Relations Section of the Architecture and Heritage Department of the French Ministry of Culture.

The course, which the University of Rennes 2 has applied to have converted into a vocational Master's programme, includes a joint training session involving the Italian and Spanish universities preparing the same diploma.

Programme for the next session:

Thursday 10 April 2008
