ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

About the Conference “Culture Forecast” International Conference on the Future of Culture and Education of Cultural Management Conference & Forum Organizers This outstanding international conference is organised by ENCATC in close cooperation with its members and five universities of applied sciences operating in Finland (HUMAK, Metropolia, Novia, Mikkeli and Seinäjoki). Along with these other organisations taking part in making this all happen are: Foundation for Cultural Policy Research (Cupore), Art and Cultural Professionals Trade Union (TAKU) and Team “To Culture With Love.

Management” (European Young Professionals and Students Working the in Field of Arts and Culture).

Highlights of the conference will include the 5th Forum of Young Cultural Policy Researchers and the 8th Cultural Policy Research Award Ceremony (CPRA). The CPRA was launched in 2004 to stimulate academic and applied cultural policy research in Europe.

ENCATC’s involvement in both the Cultural Policy Research Award and the Young Cultural Policy Researchers Forum illustrates its wish to contribute to establishing a network of young cultural policy researchers competent 2

in comparative research. Both initiatives are designed and implemented by ENCATC in partnership with the European Cultural Foundation.

Target Groups This event will feature renowned policy makers from UNESCO, Council of Europe, European and national parliaments; representatives from the European Commission, national and regional governments; academics, cultural managers, young researchers, artists, students and other major stakeholders from all over the world.

With its pedagogical, practice oriented and theoretical approaches, the conference gives teachers, students and practitioners possibilities to share their opinions of the present situation and visions of challenges that are waiting for us right around the corner.

Working themes The ENCATC Annual Conference will centre around three themes that have recently been focal points in arts and cultural manWWW.ENCATC.ORG

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

agement. These are: Culture and the City - Is the face of the culture of tomorrow going to be seen in the cities today?

What are the tensions that are shaping the culture in rural and urban areas?

New Audiences - As cultural managers how can we keep our present clients and attract new ones? Who are our future clients?

What are their needs going to be?

Networking – What are those technological tools that help us to build up new partnerships? How is this new interaction shaping our ways to communicate with each other?

Social redistribution has led to a situation where more and more people are concentrated in cities.

From a cultural perspective this has meant that managers and other cultural workers are facing new challenges and given new possibilities and opportunities.

Preserving existing cultural services, offering new ones for those who are used to consume culture and for those who are not, informing and marketing of possibilities to customers and producers within reach, building networks between interest groups and regions, nationally or internationally – the nature of our future work field will be shaped by complex and manifold social interaction.

Employment, Productivity and Social Cohesion have been marked as strategical points for the future policy in EU 2020. This “European WWW.ENCATC.ORG

strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth” (Manuel Hubert: European Sector Councils on Employment and Skills, Brussels 26.1.2011) will lead to creating and fostering those kind of competitive and creative companies that are willing to meet and face new challenges ahead us.

The aim is to increase labour market participation and reduce structural unemployment, develop a skilled workforce responding to labour market needs, promote job quality and lifelong learning as well as improve the performance of education and training systems at all levels and increase participation in tertiary education. Social inclusion and combating poverty will be promoted.

In all this, cultural managers will have a role that is depending not just on their willingness to join the common European policy but also on their ability to reflect their own cultural environment and its functions to other social, political and historical levels shaping our societies. Key question in all this is: While political, social and cultural changes are revising our everyday life with quick steps, are we able to control these changes, or do we have the right or even any tools to do that?

Key Question What do you think?

“While political, social and cultural changes are revising our everyday life with quick steps, are we able to control these changes, or do we have the right or even any tools to do that?”

Conference Programme The conference will group contributions under the working themes that relate to programmes and courses and also relate directly to the existing ENCATC Thematic Areas (formally known as the ENCATC Working Groups establisted 3

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

in 2007). Each Thematic Area will examine innovative theoretical, practical and educational learning strategies within their area.

During the conference the ENCATC Thematic Areas will provide a focus for teams of members to contribute to particular areas. However, given the nature of the subjects they are essentially cross disciplinary.

Creative Industries & Arts Management Understanding Heritage Monitors of Culture Europe International Urban Management and cultural policy of the city Arts and Health Performing Arts Management Members of these working groups will engage with delegates of the conference to explore how the overarching UNESCO themes have led to the creation of new disciplines and curricula.

Method A range of methods including: key note speakers, presentations, lectures, analyses of success stories and working groups.

The conference is organised around four forms of debate : Plenary sessions grouping together international managers, researchers and senior policymakers 4

Thematic workshops that examine the points of view of training programme administrators and teachers, in order to evaluate the consequences of these evolutions in terms of content and methodology.

Study visits on several cultural organisations where delegates have a possibility to meet practitioners and evaluate new activities in the run. For more information about the different study visit venues, see pages 8-10.

Paper session where participants will share their expertise in a form of a conference paper and get an instant feedback of their scientific results.

Work, atelier and performance space is being renovated at Suvilahti for use by artists and artist groups, as well as by other cultural operators.

The goal is to create an inspiring, creative community in the area whose membership neither obligates nor binds, but instead offers the opportunity of working together with others at Suvilahti.

Study Visit 2 Korjaamo Culture Factory Töölönkatu 51 a- b

Korjaamo Culture Factory is a place where people and culture come together in the heart of Helsinki, whether It’s for theatre, visual arts, clubbing, or meeting up over a coffee or beer. Think of it as Helsinki’s urban living room, where you’re guaranteed to see something fresh.

Situated in the old tram depot, Korjaamo is made up of galleries, a café, bar, club space, theatre, shop, and even the Tram Museum is still here. Since the Vaunuhalli was opened is the summer of 2008, Korjaamo is now one of the largest culture centres in the country. While the work is diverse, you could say that the kind of art on offer at Korjaamo is independent, different, and worth keeping an eye on.
