At La Tricoterie, we are convinced that social sustainability relies on the active involvement of all stakeholders in the cultural and non-profit sectors. This applies to artists and cultural venues, of course, but also to the staff working in these spaces and, naturally, to the public. That is why we have introduced several initiatives to increase the involvement of both our audience and our employees.
Our public plays an active role in our project through our cooperative : anyone who wishes to do so can become a member of our cooperative Théodore, which owns our buildings and manages our event and hospitality divisions. This structure strengthens the bond between the public and the cultural venue : spectators are not only active participants during artists performances ; they become true builders of the project.
To further reinforce this public commitment, we now invite our cooperative members to take part in designing a portion of our season. Our goal here is to bring artists and associations together to create synergies and a collective momentum, while maintaining a common thread and shared values that allow us to offer the public a unique, cohesive programming enriched by diverse energies.
It is equally important for us to foster strong connections within our internal organization. For this reason, our employees are also taking on an increasingly active role in managing our project. Beyond regular team-building activities, we have set up collective intelligence sessions, which mark the first step toward greater team involvement in our decision-making process.
