Prof. Dr. Thomas Knubben, Director at the Institute of Cultural Management at the University of Education Ludwigsburg and Coordinator of the Erasmus Intensive Programme
Welcome to the official website of the Erasmus Intensive Programme (IP) “Culture as a Resource for Future Europe 2012”. This programme is connecting four universities from Bulgaria, Finland, Poland and Germany and will bring together 40 students and about 10 professors to a conference at the University of Education in Ludwigsburg from February 13th to 24th, 2012.
The increased cultural exchanges within European Union have created a strong demand for international academic experts in the field of cultural management. Enlargement and integration of the European Union is changing also the field of cultural management. The globalization, changes in the demography, changes in the cultural policy, changes in the financing of culture are all creating needs for updating the education for cultural management. European culture is open to international competition and multicultural environment is creating new challenges for those who are working in the cultural sector. Especially there is a need to increase the skills to recognize the factors influencing cultural policy and capability to analyze them.
The aim of the Intensive Programme was to start the cooperation between four institutes educating the future professionals in the field of cultural management. These four universities are:
- HUMAK University of Applied Sciences, Finland
- Jagellonian University in Cracow, Poland
- South-West University Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
- University of Education Ludwigsburg, Germany (coordinator of the project)
