Background, orientation and purpose
Cultural and educational institutions are increasingly in need of professionalism to provide a firm
economic basis and uniform quality. The aim is to mix both spiritual and economical ideas to meet
new demands in the field of cultural work. The course on offer gives people who are already working
in the cultural or educational fields the opportunity to broaden their professional skills.
The further education course commenced at the HWP in the winter of 1989-90. Since 1993, the course
contents have been offered as self-contained units. These courses take place in the evenings, at
weekends or as an educational holiday. From these modules, the student can design his own course,
while continuing to work. Students can also enroll in general studies and media management courses.
