Context: 

The territory of the LAG Pays Dieppois - Terroir de Caux, located in Normandy, France, next to the Parisian Basin and the city of Rouen, benefits from the assets of the sea (the Channel) and a rich rural area. The territory is composed of 119 municipalities with nearly 112,000 inhabitants and is organised around the town of Dieppe (27.5% of the local population and 44.5% of the local jobs).
The local cultural context is rich in both rural and urban areas. However, people with disabilities are still remote from culture, even though they already take part in some actions:
• « L’Âme de Fond » festival
• Musical
• Dance project
• Artistic

Project idea summary:

In partnership with other socio-cultural stakeholders, it aims to help society become ever more inclusive.
Cooperation with other territories would therefore be an opportunity to:
• Share each LAG partner’s experiences
• Overcome constraints related to disability
• Build a common event that will take place in 2020
