Our commitments
Since its first editions, the Marseille Jazz des cinq continents has been committed to making culture accessible to everyone, and in particular to people with disabilities, by offering them a welcome and support system that takes their needs into account.
Our commitments and actions are continually enriched, notably thanks to the contributions of various stakeholders in the field of disability, first and foremost our spectators and our sponsor Solimut Mutuelle de France.
Welcoming people with disabilities is a dynamic and constantly evolving task, involving many aspects such as technology and legislation.
The design of communication, access to concert sites, reception and support for the public are all issues managed by the festival teams. The Marseille Jazz des cinq continents is committed to providing a specific presence for its festival-goers during the concerts in order to guarantee safety and comfort on all the sites.
