Postgraduate Diploma in Cultural Management and Sustainability

Introduction

Assuming that the ways of doing things in the artistic and cultural field are currently being questioned and mobilised by ecological issues, this advanced training programme problematises cultural policies, reviews the specific modes of production in the performing arts; and also considers the multiple aesthetic/creative approaches, proposing to relate environmental demands and social and human sustainability - and the political, ethical and practical challenges they pose - with the management models applied to cultural and artistic projects and institutions.

Crossing the fields of artistic studies, creative production and ecology, it constitutes a unique and relatively pioneering training programme, responding to an emerging set of reflexive needs and competences in the cultural sector.

Based on an exploratory and critical approach, the course serves two correlated purposes: to promote an updating of discourses and practices in terms of cultural policies, and to propose an initial and experimental approach to sustainability, reflected in the exploration of concepts and the analysis of practices in the field of eco-dramaturgy, environmental justice, eco-ethical management, eco-responsible production, among others.
