Cultural activities must be able to fit the territorial variations of cultural practices and lifestyles. The implanting of sociocultural community developpers, based on a better knowledge and an field experience, favorishes the implementation of programs of activities able to satisfy the aspiration of the individuals while revaluing the local or regional cultural identity. The analysis of the relationship between culture, territories and action also concerns the originality of cultural activities facing various territorial situations regarding both strategies of intervention and occupational integration. The present edition tries to answer the following questions: how do the specificities of territories influence strategies of cultural action? How the current experiments of cultural activities in diverse territories can contribute to the renewal of the practices?
