Background, orientation and purpose

The UNESCO Chair on Cultural Policies and Co-operation at the University of Girona was established in
1992. In collaboration with the Interarts Foundation, it organises the current training programme for
professionals and cultural managers of the international constituency. Its structure and contents
provide a postgraduate capacity for cultural active managers with previous training. The programme
presents an update with an international view, fostering the exchange and transference about real
subjects in the cultural management sector with theory and a co-operative perspective.
The course takes place in the city of Girona (100km from Barcelona and 60 from France) with the
collaboration of an important number of professionals and cultural institutions; this permits an
exchange of cultural policies between their participants in medium and small towns. This shared

and immersion training experience in specific cultural spaces.
