The ARTeria Foundation was founded in 2006, as a non-profit non-governmental organisation. It pursues various projects and programmes, primarily associated with supporting artists and representatives of creative fields, developing the cultural and creative sectors in the broad sense, as well as local communities, through various actions and projects based on three ideas: culture without borders, innovative education and multidimensional cooperation.
Our goal is to promote, popularise and develop culture and art in the spirit of openness, respecting cultural differences and intercultural dialogue, creating a forum for fascinating people – a clash of views and the search for mutual qualities.
We are focused on multidimensional, modern education – searching for and testing innovations in both artistic education and general education, through the usage of culture and art. We believe in lifelong learning, non-formal and informal education.
ARTeria is a member of two international networks: Culture Action Europe and ENCATC.

Logopsycom is an education innovation centre that creates and uses alternative methods or tools (digital or not) to accompany schools, VET centres, educational organisations, youngsters and parents. It was initially created as a care company specialising in learning disorders among youngsters, especially in “Dys” (Dyspraxia, Dysphasia, Dyslexia, etc.), also called Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and therefore always works on the accessibility of content. We do project consulting for schools and youth centres in our area to help them build good projects which improve the quality of their teaching methods, their environment and, obviously, their inclusion policy. We have experience in working on over 50 Erasmus+ KA2 Projects.

YuzuPulse is a French SME founded in 2018 with the aim of bringing games and technology closer to the social economy and education. We believe that games and technology hold the power to engage learners more actively, and to make education and training more accessible. We like to make what can appear complicated simple, such as artificial intelligence.
We have been exploring and following the development of AI tools with a curious eye, bearing in mind the opportunities it brings as well as ethical and profession challenges. As we are creators ourselves, and as we are based at Plaine Images, a creative and cultural industries hub in the North of France, we can exhange with a wide network of companies, schools and creators to share their thoughts, projects and measures on integrating AI into their work or on mitigating the impact of Ai on their activity.
In this project, we hope to bring views from the digital CCIs, in particular video games, and to share approaches to AI in CCI professional training from France.
