IsdaT In Danger - Mobilization of staff and students In Toulouse

In the Wood workshop, closed. Assistant in post since 2018, contract not renewed, Workshop closed from June 13, 2023. First day of a renewable strike by staff, agents, teachers and technicians at ISDAT,Toulouse Institute of Art and Design, until June 30, 2023. Following the national mobilization of art schools in France from November to March 2023, the situation at ISDAT Toulouse is critical, with a deficit of over five hundred thousand euros in 2023. There's no blockage, but the wood workshop (where frames and pedestals are made) is closed due to the end of a teacher's contract that has not been renewed, retirements that have not been replaced... A school without a Director and without a contact person. A student is sounding the alarm: many projects and residences are falling through. Toulouse City Council has launched an audit.
