MAPSI conference "Insights and Tools for Arts Projects with Societal Impact"

Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre with MAPSI partners arranged on 7th of July 2015 an international conference on managing arts projects with societal impact. The key speakers of the conference were Dr Eleonora Belfiore (University of Warwick), Takaya Kawamura (Osaka City University) and Hanna Brotherus (Finnish choreographer). The conference consisted of a mixture of academic presentations and practical workshops. The participants could also enjoy the exhibition of photographer Viktor Gurniak about the war in Ukraine.

There were ca 90 participants from UK, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Taiwan, Greece, Italy, Australia, Netherlands, and Norway. Based on the participants´ feedback the conference fulfilled the expectations in all but one aspect – the follow-up conference should be longer than just one day – the topic is interesting and is worth further exploring! Measuring the impact of art (in order to give the art the value) is never an easy task. http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=111ccef7bef31333d6473154c&id=1ed1e59ba7

Study and Guide Books are on the way!

Two important outcomes of the MAPSI project – Study and Guide Book – will be published late autumn and shared with wider audiences.

The Study Book is targeted mainly for students of cultural management, cultural policy and social services and it can be used as a course book for learning how to manage arts projects with societal impact. The Study Book provides also new insights and a structured way of teaching the topic.

The book consists of three parts: I – Perspectives on art and societal impact, giving a general frame to the topic of managing projects with societal impact (incl. ethics, impact, policy); II –Managing societally influential art projects, helping to understand the different managerial aspects in art projects (incl. leadership and evaluation); II – Case Studies, giving concrete examples on the subject.

Guide Book will target the professionals, developers and policy makers in art and social fields. The Guide Book concludes the main aspects of the materials presented in the Study Book. It highlights, for example, the key results, describes the content of the curriculum in managing art projects with societal impact and the new internship model to be used as tool of sustainability.

Both publications will be available online.

Piloting of the MAPSI E-course Development of the learning content to the virtual learning environment has gone in hand with the development of the Study Book. In November 2015 MAPSI will pilot e-course that http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=111ccef7bef31333d6473154c&id=1ed1e59ba7

aims to deepen the knowledge on the subject. We expect to have 10 students from 5 universities to give feedback on our e-course.

While going through the e-course the student will gain understanding on the specificities relating to the art’s societal impact and its effect on management. They gain practical examples and need to fulfill exercises to approach managing art projects with social impact. The student will analyze case study relating to art projects that aim for societal impact. As a result, the student is able to apply the conceptual and practical tools necessary to analyze, develop and manage projects on the context of art projects with societal impact.

After piloting the e-course will be opened to some extent to other universities.

MAPSI final conference in Bilbao in January 2016 In January 2016, MAPSI conference will be held in Bilbao, Spain. The public conference day in Bilbao concentrates on the technology driven developments and its impact on the society. The conference will further offer the opportunity to discuss on the field some relevant aspects of the urban and societal impact of cultural projects.

Some study visits and receptions are being planned. For instance, BILBAO METROPOLI 30 will offer a reception where Mr. Alfonso MartínezCearra (CEO) will make an overview of the role of cultural programmes on the design of urban policies in Bilbao during the last 20 years. Also as part of the programme, a visit to DSS2016 -SAN SEBASTÍAN (European Capital of Culture for the year 2016) will be a wonderful opportunity to share experiences of Helsinki, Turku and Tallinn (cities that hosted the event in the past), focusing on societal impact.
