Culture Amiens

The CSC of Etouvie offers, recently, workshops and hip-hop theatre for large and small but not only. The centre recently erected a workshop called "active Retreat" that allows for the elderly to meet for a day that they will have organised themselves.

The association started in 1998, since it has dozens of members, for so many vehicles and five motorcycles. It brings together lovers of old cabins and is at the origin of the European Exhibition Vehicle in Mégacité. For lovers of old cars. The association also organizes every second Sunday of the month at the Parc de la Hotoie a rally where it is possible to see on average some fifty old cars, from the mythical Ferrari brand for example.

The MACU, as the Amiens say, is the cultural centre of the city. It brings together theatre, music, dance, circus, cinema and painting exhibitions. Schoolchildren will not only watch the show, they will also be able to take part in it: artistic practice or awakening to the performing arts courses are offered. The partnerships with the Conservatoire with regional influence or with the Circus School of Amiens Métropole undeniably bring a guarantee of quality and seriousness to the proposed activities. Ideal for smart family outings: the rich programming for young audiences! Before the shows, you can also sit in the tea room adjoining the lobby. MACU is the meeting place of the International Film Festival which takes place every November and attracts professionals of the seventh art from all over the world.

The Louis-Aragon Library is the main library of the city. Inaugurated in the 19th century, it is one of the oldest in France. You can find just about anything you are looking for, from novels to encyclopaedias, dictionaries to magazines. The library also has an Image and Sound area where film lovers can watch films free of charge, audio terminals to listen to the CD collections on offer on the premises, and wifi access. Icing on the cake: for the inhabitants of Amiens metropolis, registration is entirely free.

Located in the Saint-Maurice district, this place of manufacture of the street arts, allows to welcome and offer a place of work to the companies. Technical workshops will complement these facilities.

The Centre Culturel Jacques Tati is a cultural venue located in Amiens. It offers a variety of artistic and cultural activities for all ages. The center has an auditorium, a library, an exhibition hall and a creative space.

Throughout the year, the city of Amiens organizes activities for children and adolescents, including the summer passport: it is a holiday book for young people aged 13 to 17 years. Thus autonomous by privileged access to transport, they can participate in numerous educational, sports and cultural activities during the months of July and August, including internships supervised by professionals.

How can I teach her child to become familiar with a foreign language without causing him to swallow the rebutantes methods? The Boîte à Malice has chosen the playful approach to allow toddlers to discover language and culture. Several formulas are proposed. Main method: practice as much as possible foreign languages, especially that of Shakespeare, and préfrence during games or workshops. This leisure centre operates as an association and welcomes children.

A sort of road crossing the cultures, the Alco center, is a bit that. Located in the north of the city, where the cities are concentrated, the centre offers cultural entertainment in schools, intercultural weeks, multimerci (a multimedia workshop open to the local youth), a leisure centre that opens at the time of school holidays. It also allows for school support, and especially for young people during temporary exclusion, so that they do not get their education.
