Collaborative college

The dimensions of inclusivity, transmission, culture, and heritage upheld by the Citadelle de Marseille lead to the affirmation of the necessity to write the stories of this monument collaboratively.
Collège de compétences 2

The competence college of the Citadelle de Marseille is a co-production space aimed at contributing to the historical and heritage dimension of content, their development, and contextualization. It serves as a space for experimentation, exchange, and reflection, both around the stories and memories of the site and on participatory processes, decision-making, and modes of governance.

It consists of a multidisciplinary team, whose members come from various cultural and heritage sectors: academic world, civil society, and associative project leaders, artists, and representatives of cultural or museum institutions.
