INTRODUCTION
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks
a substantial step forward for sustainable development in many fields,
including culture. An explicit recognition is given to the fundamental role that
heritage and culture play in human development and serve as an enabler and a
driver of Sustainable Development. The UNESCO recognizes that culture has a
major impact on reducing poverty and contributes to a development, which is
primarily human, inclusive and fair. Similarly, the ILO acknowledges the
potential of cultural activities to provide significant business and employment
opportunities and generate opportunities for decent work for men and women
around the world.
The course combines
essential knowledge of cultural
economics and cultural policies with the competences needed to
design projects in the cultural field. The programme explores in detail the
economic, social, institutional and legal considerations that govern the
diverse UNESCO Conventions (World Heritage, Intangible Heritage, Diversity of
Cultural Expressions) and programs (eg: Creative Cities, Man and Biosphere,
Global Geoparks, Memories of the World).
