Study on the Korean application of cultural accessibility and cultural arts education: focusing on French cultural policy

Abstract

This study examines the main elements, concepts, and directions of ‘cultural accessibility’ in the field of cultural arts education through the French case. Above all, ‘cultural accessibility’ is viewed from the perspective of the problems of ‘social exclusion’ and the corresponding ‘participation’. We discuss strategies for applying ‘cultural accessibility’ through French policy discussions. France is implementing this consistent policy structure through the development of its local self-government system. We first look at the current status of French cultural policy and cultural accessibility, and the participation. Next, we will discuss separately into the cultural arts education of the central government and those of local governments. For application to Korea, we propose the application of education to apply ‘culture of public values’, the establishment of autonomy in cultural arts education, and the application of a dual strategy for public advocacy.
