Cultural mediation
Cultural mediation encompasses all of TOHU's initiatives developed in connection with its programming and aimed at creating spaces for encounters and exchanges that encourage the discovery and appropriation of cultural experiences.
These actions, in keeping with the three components of TOHU's mission (Circus, Earth, Human), take the form of both comprehensive projects and one-time activities.Although they are primarily aimed at institutions and organizations in the St-Michel district, our team also works in close collaboration with any educational and/or community structure in the Greater Montreal area that is closely linked to people of cultural diversity.
