Course objectives 
The course objective is to give information and reflection about current methods and research in the fields of cultural policy and management - and also to present innovations and solutions within art management practices. Presenting crucial issues in the forms of debates, with arguments from different sides, the course aims to stimulate academic circles to enter this new discipline from different standpoints: political, sociological, economic and, of course, within the methodology and approach of cultural studies (cultural policies, cultural management, etc.) This should contribute to the development of higher education in the social sciences and humanities in the fields suffering from conservative and traditional approach.
 
Aims:

  • to raise public debate and awareness about the importance of art and culture for the development of the countries in the region;
  • to answer the crucial need for education of professionals for the new disciplines and new work methods (marketing managers, art entrepreneurs, etc.);
  • to build a network of faculty and professionals in the region, increasing interactions (mutual projects and other forms of cooperation;
  • to reinforce the position of art management and administration education in the region, and contribute toward the modernization and innovation of classic academic disciplines and departments such as Political Sciences (Cultural Policy missing),  Sociology of Culture (both Cultural Management & Cultural Policy lacking), Economics and Management (Enterpreneurship in Culture), Law (Copyright Issues and Legislation in Culture), Librarianship (Library Management), etc.
  • to reinforce the position of art management education at art schools, where a larger overview of cultural policy and cultural theory is often lacking. The role of cultural managers as policy makers, administrators, strategists, programmers, entrepreneurs, marketing managers, mediators and animators, has to be developed, and university courses have to have their role in it.
