Abstract

The French cultural and educational policy is an important and firm element of the molding of social policy in this country. It results from historical experience, which was molded in the process of state formation. The state preserves cultural authenticity and maintains international significance. A realization of a postulate, which sets the autonomy of the cultural policy of France, plays a particular part in this process. It is a care of the national cultural heritage, which manifests in not only the behavior, research and popularization of forms recognized as classical and traditional, thus commonly perceived as good and valuable, but also it is interested in supporting the contemporary artistic culture, which is rooted in the modern tradition joining science, technology and art However, none of the elements of this policy will be realized if there is no conscious and wide activity conducted to make the audience sensitive to the traditional and contemporary art and culture. It can only happen when it when done through the cultural and educational institutions. That is why the turn of the 20th century is characteristic of a clear dominance of activities of educational character in the French cultural and educational policies. Education of active participation in culture and art and the preservation and transmission of the cultural heritage of the state are the targets of this policy. These guidelines are realized in French schools, which support all innovative projects of the cultural education. These are the Cultural and artistic education for all. Artistic and cultured education from kindergarten to university, and Schedule of artistic and cultural activities in schools.
