Content
European Diploma in Cultural Project Management:
This programme, established in 1989, is a training and learning experience based on the recognition
of cultural diversity and interregional exchange as a means of raising the profile of culture in Europe.
Through its content and methodology, it aims not only at improving skills in the field of cultural
management and administration, but also at helping the participants develop their understanding of
these fields in a changing Europe. Its main goals are to make participants aware of the challenges
within their area of interest, and to develop approaches and tools needed for co-operation with, and
development of, a creative cultural workforce in Europe.
The main objectives of the programme are: strengthening of knowledge, competencies, skills and
theoretical references in the field; development of a network of European cultural managers and
enhancement of skills and attitudes related to networking; and promotion of transnational cooperation
and professional mobility, bringing Europe closer to its citizens.
The issues addressed during theoretical sessions are: Europe and culture (cultural trends, institutions,
policies, co-operation, etc.); territorial development; strategic planning and operational management
of cultural projects; and cultural co-operation.
The programme includes a 5-month practical training period, reports on the progress of one’s own
project, and an evaluation phase for exchanging experiences in the field. The Diploma is not
academically recognised. The closing date for applications is around 10th January each year.
