Objective
Led by the Fondation Culture et Diversité, this scheme aims to introduce high school students - who are concerned by the programme - to schools and training courses in architecture as well as to professional opportunities.
The aim is to enable students to decide on their career path with all the keys in hand.
Secondly, the "Equal Opportunities Internship" aims to confirm, confirm or clarify the students' choice and increase their chances of success during the School of Architecture admission interviews.
Stage 3 of the programme provides support for students who have entered one of the partner ENSAs during their studies, to ensure that their higher education studies in architecture go smoothly and to assist them in their professional integration.
Audiences
Students from low-income backgrounds and with specialised baccalaureate degrees in architecture, which are still under-represented in these courses, or with general education in schools covered by the priority education policy and/or located in urban policy areas.
