The 24th ENCATC Annual Conference

The 24th ENCATC Annual Conference will be held from 5-7 October 2016 in Valencia, Spain.

“CULTURAL MANAGEMENT EDUCATION IN RISK SOCIETIES – TOWARDS A PARADIGM AND POLICY SHIFT?!” 

Which knowledge, skills and attitudes are required nowadays to become a cultural manager that is able to respond to changes? Or do we need to look beyond the classical knowledge and competencies?

And how can we teach students also entrepreneurial skills, which are more characterized by risk-taking, dealing with uncertainty and unpredictability in a digitalized and globalized environment? And do the recent adaptations of several cultural management programmes to cultural entrepreneurship reflect a broader and deeper paradigm shift?

This year, the conference will begin on 5 October with a Members’ Forum. As a benefit for more than 120 educational, cultural, research and governmental institutions, this will be an opportunity for ENCATC members and new ones who join before the conference, and ENCATC students, to get exclusive access to teaching methodology, working groups, case studies, and more in parallel Case Analysis and Workshop sessions to be led by members.

On 6 October, the conference opens to the general public including academics, researchers, cultural professionals, teachers, trainers, policy makers, artists, consultants, and students from Europe and beyond.
