At a time when Rachida Dati, the Minister of Culture, intends to essentially reform this flagship system of Emmanuel Macron’s cultural coverage, generalized in May 2021 and which provides 300 euros to all younger individuals aged 18 to finance, at their method, their cultural leisure actions, Sébastien Cavalier responds to criticism and descriptions the modifications to come back.

In a column in “Le Monde” printed on October 11, the Minister of Culture introduced her want to reform the Culture Pass in order that it higher fulfills its public service mission. Were you concerned on this reflection?

Discussions on the Culture Pass started with the arrival of Rachida Dati at Rue de Valois in the beginning of the 12 months. We had loads of discussions along with his workplace and the technical companies of the ministry. From the beginning, the minister expressed the significance she hooked up to this Pass, but additionally the questions she had about this technique. Because it’s revolutionary and atypical, the Pass should be open to reflection and able to adaptation. It is a passionate topic for which we should discover a method of steadiness.

What do you assume is most pressing to alter?

We must amplify dynamics. Let’s take the instance of stay efficiency. It is true that it’s not naturally standard with younger individuals. However, one of many targets assigned to the Pass is to encourage the range of cultural practices and to arouse curiosity. In current years, we have now had problem working hand in hand with performing arts actors. But there isn’t a inevitability. We should discover a very pragmatic, very constructive strategy in order that the Pass helps to make younger individuals need to attend theater, music and opera venues.

The Pass is a shared public good, a sovereign digital software and its success is the results of collaborative approaches that contain many stakeholders. The instance of the arthouse cinema sector, which was uncertain concerning the Pass in the beginning, is enlightening. We have began working with the community of arthouse cinemas and, immediately, nearly all of them are registered on the Pass. And it really works. I’m firmly satisfied that we will do the identical factor with stay efficiency.
