Cultural Management and the State of the Field
The Cultural Management Programme at HUMAK University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Finland invites academics and practitioners as participants for the 4th international symposium (May 19-21) on topics concerning the field of arts and cultural management.
Previous symposiums, held in 2007-2009, addressed the issues of cultural management in the area of globalization, the disciplinary profile of our field, and the future perspectives that are shaping the field. This year's theme asks academics and practitioners to engage in debate on the pedagogy of cultural management.
The title of the 2010 Symposium is: Cultural Management and Pedagogy: Discourses and Practice. What are the pedagogical ideologies that are shaping our field and its future managers? What is the educational philosophy that is put into practice in different training programmes? How can we adapt best practices on an international level?
The goal of the symposium is to provide an opportunity for reflection and discussion within the arts and cultural management community on issues concerning the state of the field. The Symposium will be held in the Head Office of HUMAK in Helsinki, Finland.
THE SYMPOSIUM IS LIMITED TO 20 PARTICIPANTS!
To participate please submit a one page (max) paper with ideas and thoughts on the topic.
Deadline for application: February 15, 2010. We will notify applicants by March 7, 2010.
