Dear Members,
Dear Colleagues,
Following the open call for proposals in support of
European networks published in 2013 by the
European Commission, the ENCATC Board and I
have the immense joy to announce that ENCATC,
the leading European network on cultural
management and policy education, was among the
22 European networks who were selected for a
strong three year partnership with the European
Commission in the framework of the Creative
Europe programme.
This ambitious ENCATC project implemented from
April 2014 till March 2017 is structured around
three main strategic lines: a commitment to making
ENCATC a strong a sustainable organisation, a
significant advancement in the internationalisation
of the network, and a significant advancement in
the professionalization of the sector and its
sustainability.
In designing our plans for the next three years we
have also considered relevant for the fulfilment of
our mission to provide our members and close
followers with a number of opportunities to develop
better skills, competences and know-how, such as
encouraging adaptation to digital technologies,
testing new approaches to audience development,
and testing new business and management
models.
In addition for the next three years we also foresee
a number of activities to enable academics,
researchers, students, artists and cultural players
to cooperate internationally and to internationalise
their careers and activities in the EU and beyond:
“Several actions contribute strongly to international
co-operation and the internationalisation of
careers. These include a study tour to China, a
European-North American panel session in
Montreal, Cultural Diplomacy Academy events, a
Euro-Asia workshop in Singapore, and a
conference on the internationalisation of cultural
management. A number of other initiatives also
involve transnational exchanges of experience or
information. These activities are clearly developed
in response to the interests and needs of the
3
WWW.ENCATC.ORG
members who have co-financed a range of recent
initiatives,” wrote the experts in their evaluation of
our proposal.
Furthermore, ENCATC wants to take advantage of
this opportunity offered by the EU to continue to
efficiently translate new research insights into the
practical field, and make them available for a
broader public. “That is the role we want to play: to
be a bridge between researchers and practitioners,
but also between practitioners and the business
world, or the administrators and the working field.
The best way to play this bridging role is to
emphasise the importance of education in our
network which remains our main characteristic and
we must be aware of that. I mean education in the
broad sense of the word: from universities, but
also of trainees and practitioners. In addition,
ENCATC wants to be a kind of agora, where
people from the academic world and the working
field can meet each other, can change ideas and
experiences in a friendly environment. I think we
have proved again that we are fulfilling this role in
a optimal way,” affirmed Annick Schramme,
ENCATC President in Brno last 18 of September
when announcing this important achievement to
the membership on the occasion of our 22nd
Annual Conference.
Finally, I would like to express how delighted I am
to have gotten the chance, thanks to this support
from the European Commission, to reinforce my
“dream team” in Brussels with two additional
permanent positions that will certainly contribute to
strengthening our capacity to efficiently serve our
members and to continue to grow our loyal and
close family of followers in the years to come.
Yours truly,
Giannalia Cogliandro Beyens

institution, the Sibelius Academy in Finland.
Pui Man is keen on building networks and sharing
ideas between Asia and Europe. Beside her study
and work, she is a column writer for art magazines
in Hong Kong and Macau. Her articles have
covered topics of a great variety, including arts
education in schools, performing arts for children,
cultural management and cultural policy.
“While at ENCATC, I wish to gain a better
understanding of European cultural policies and
practices, and also contribute fostering connections
between Asia and Europe in the arts and culture,”
said Pui Man upon her arrival in Brussels.

Museum of Picardy
Built after 1855 and inaugurated in 1867, the

according to the model of Napoleon III's Louvre,
this "Palace of the Fine Arts" brings together rich
collections of paintings, drawnings, sculptures,
art objects, major archaeological collections and
a beautiful collection of modern and
contemporary art works.
The museum is currently developing European
projects through the INTERREG programme
which provides funding for interregional
cooperation across Europe.

INTERVIEW with Rene Kooyman
Drs Rene Kooyman MME, DEA graduated from the State Conservatory
of Music, and received a MSc in Regional Development at the
Groningen University in the Netherlands. He holds a Master in Urban
Area Development, and a DEA Degree in Economics and Sociology
from The University of Geneva, Switzerland. As International Research
Fellow and Lecturer of the School of Arts & Economics of the Utrecht
University of the Arts, he has been responsible for a number
international research projects in Arts and Economics. At the moment
he is Project Manager at the EU Creative Urban Renewal (CURE)
Program. His books and papers discuss cultural entrepreneurship,
cultural strategic management, creative urban renewal and cultural
policies.
The Creative Economy has gained momentum in the past decade. It has long been ignored, and has not
been taken seriously for a lengthy period of time. However, since the UNCTAD Creative Economy Report
in 2010, policy makers, managers and even hard-liner economists have become aware of the fundamental
contribution. It involves very different areas like innovation, social and cultural development, and (small)
entrepreneurship.

ENCATC: Why are you interested in following ENCATC activities?
This shift in status, professional perspectives, social and political debate is first of all an international one.
The Educational field is involved in many ways. It steers and supports the innovation, it questions the
position and the value of the Creative Industries; it is involved in the permanent dynamics of social change.
ENCATC is offering both the international platform, and the fundamental discussions needed to develop a
dynamic sector with high potential.
ENCATC: What is a challenge you encounter in cultural management and cultural policy education?
ENCATC: Do you have any upcoming projects you would like to share with ENCATC members?
I’m very excited to be part of the editorial team for a forthcoming book to be published in June 2015 on
“Teaching and Learning Cultural Entrepreneurship: A global comparative analysis of course and program
content in university - and community-based education for the cultural and creative industries. It is a
pleasure to work with the other members of the editorial team that includes Prof. Dr. Olaf Kuhlke (College
of Liberal Arts, University of Minnesota Duluth) and Prof. Dr. Annick Schramme (Antwerp Management
School, University of Antwerp, and current President of ENCATC).
I’m also delighted to have this opportunity to also work more closely with ENCATC as it a partner along
with the University of Minnesota in Duluth, the Antwerp Management School/University of Antwerp and the
Erasmus University Rotterdam.

When discussing education and training in cultural management and cultural policy, we have to realize that
we come across very different actors. Some are driven by educational motivations, some by cultural and
artistic drives, others defend the entrepreneurial dimension. ENCATC is capable to cover and connect
these different strata of educators, managers, policy-makers and creative practitioners. It is my conviction
that we can all gain by sharing our impulses, our frustrations and our perspectives. That is what the
ENCATC network is for!

Americas are important
players in international
cultural relations, from
the United States, the world’s superpower, to some
of the most important emerging markets, such as
Brazil and Mexico. They offer a wide range of
engagement examples such as sports diplomacy
(Usain Bolt, 2014 Brazil FIFA World Cup and the
2016 Rio Olympic Games) to the power of the
media (Hollywood, Brazilian telenovelas) or nation
branding (Jamaica). Europe and the Americas are
linked by strong historical, cultural and economic
ties, but in the 21st century context both continents
and their relationship are in an accelerated process
of change.
The ENCATC Academy is designed for
academics, researchers, cultural operators and
professionals, artists, diplomats, EU officials,
representatives from international organisations and

Which competencies are needed for audience development
education and training in Europe?
Audience development practitioners and experts meet in Lecce
25-26 September 2014 // Lecce, Italy
The objective of the meeting was to share an
update on the project’s ongoing phase to define the
professional profile of the audience developer, and
prepare for the project’s next phase to design and
test a training model for audience development
professionals.
12
For the project’s task to define the professional
profile of the audience developer, led by the
University of Deusto in Spain, the report’s list of
competencies needed has already been particularly
useful. Elaborated from qualitative data, this list
served as a starting point for discussions in national
focus groups which began in late June whose aim
was to explore how audience development is
interpreted and practiced in different national
contexts. With the European audience developer
profile almost complete, the project partners have
started to use this along with the results from the
research phase to design and test a training model
to support cultural organisations and practitioners in
having a greater impact on access to culture and
cultural participation in Europe. The Audience
Agency from the UK is the ADESTE partner to lead
this key-phase of innovative training development.
ADESTE project partners are scheduled to meet
next in early 2015 to complete the design of the
training programme that will be tested.

For the project’s outputs of the initial research
phases, these were officially presented and
discussed in Lecce. From February to June, project
partners in seven European countries mapped
training paths and practices related to audience
development. The research, coordinated by
Fondazione Fitzcarraldo, combined the mapping
results with more than 30 interviews conducted with
audience development researchers, academics,
practitioners and policy makers representing more
than nine countries in Europe and beyond, as well
as collected input from the project’s third country
The culmination of this work, resulted in a strong
understanding and new insight into the way
audience development is taught and answering
three key questions: which competencies for
audience development do education and training
providers take into consideration? What are the
backgrounds of professionals working in this field?
What could be the most effective training
programme for professionals in this field?

Organised alongside the ArtLab14 conference, this
project meeting was also an opportunity to invite
and engage with experts and cultural practitioners
on the topic of audience development. The
ADESTE partners involved ten external experts
during a 2-day focus group to share and debate the
main findings outlined by the consortium. Coming
from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy,
Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom,
this group of highly respected professionals were
also asked to explain how audience development is
interpreted within the context of their country.
Moreover, they provided successful audience

European Cultural Leadership
project kicks off!
A behind the scenes look into this
exciting industry
Providing emerging cultural leaders to
build sustainable cultural organisations
25 August - 3 September 2014 //
Antwerp and Paris
2-3 October 2014 // Gothenburg,
Sweden
Antwerp is well known for its creative high-fashion
designers. Since the emergence of ‘the Antwerp
six’ (Dries van Noten, Ann Demeuleester, Walter
Van Beirendonck, Marina Yee, Dirk Van Saene and
Dirk Bikkembergs) at the end of the 1980s, the city
has taken on the status of a real ‘fashion city’. Here
participants visited the fashion company Terre
Bleue, the Flanders Fashion Institute and MoMu
(Antwerp fashion museum).
With its growing international reputation, the
Summer School was also a prime opportunity for
participants to build their international networks
among distinguished academics, fashion leaders
and entrepreneurs, young professionals and
students from countries: Belgium, The Netherlands,
Germany, Austria, Colombia, Honduras, China and
Russia.

WWW.ENCATC.ORG
A kick-off meeting was held in held in Gothenburg,
Sweden on 2-3 October 2014. Eight
representatives from the project’s consortium
attended the two-day meeting to discuss the
project’s aim, purpose, working process, timeframe,
budget, and expected results.
The European partnership is made up of five
partners led by Nätverkstan Kulture in Sweden.
Other project partners include: ENCATC, the
leading European network on cultural management
and cultural policy education; Trans Europe Halles
(TEH), Oliverate Culture Agency, and consultant
and trainer Sue Kay from the United Kingdom. This
strategic partnership brings together unique
experiences of three fields of expertise: cultural
organisations; innovative pedagogy/training; and
research.

Taking the Summer School to Paris was a new
component introduced into the 2014 programme
allowing participants to interact with fashion
designers for high fashion and luxury brands. Often
cloaked in mystery and glamour, study visits in the
French capital revealed the inner workings of some
of fashion’s most iconic brands: such as Chanel,
Dior, Bulgari, Burberry, and Prada.
This project comes at a time when there is an acute
need to develop leadership characterised by the
ability to adapt to transformative changes in
society, able to work in an international setting, lead
and inspire intercultural teams and organisations,
and initiate sustainable processes.
Building Capacity
Specifically designed for professionals and recently
graduated Master’s students highly interested or
motivated to work in the fashion industry, this
unique Summer School aimed at nurturing
managerial talents tailored to the fashion industry.
46 participants from eight countries attended
lectures covering topics from fashion marketing and
PR, to finance, distribution and leadership in
fashion. The intensive programme was also
complimented with on-site study visits in two global
fashion capitals of Antwerp and Paris.
The “European Cultural Leadership” project has the
ambition to develop an Education Programme
which will improve the competence, knowledge and
skills of emerging leaders in the cultural sector in
Europe. Funded by the European Commission’s
Erasmus+ programme, it will run for 24 months
from September 2014 thru August 2016.

On 10 September in Hildesheim, Germany,
ENCATC held a thematic session entitled: “Cultural
Policy Research and Professionalization of Cultural
Sector (or Intersectoral cooperation in Cultural
Policy Research and Teaching)” and organised in
the framework of the 8th International Conference
on Cultural Policy Research (ICCPR). Attended by
more than more than 400 researchers, academics,
scholars, and cultural professionals, this thematic
session aimed to discuss where and how academic
research findings and practice from the cultural
intersect. More specifically, this was an opportunity
to question: How does research help cultural
operators improve their performance in the work
place and in practice? How does cultural policy
research influence teaching, training, consultancy,
and decision making processes? What about its
influence on quality of staff involvement in
institutions, organisations, city halls, governance
bodies, and enterprises? How is this translated
when looking at a wide range of cultural
professions from different geographic origins?
On 18 September, 21 academics, researchers,
trainers and cultural professionals from 11
countries in Europe and beyond presented papers
at the 5th Annual ENCATC Research Session held
in Brno and organised in the framework of the 22 nd
ENCATC Annual Conference “New Challenges for
the Arts and Culture: Is it just about money?” (1719 September 2014).
The panel, chaired by ENCATC President, Annick
Schramme, professor at the University of Antwerp
in Belgium gathered insight and expertise from
leading academics and researchers from Europe:
Milena Dragićević Šešić, professor, University of

Previous editions of the Annual ENCATC Research
Session have been organised in Antwerp (2013),
London (2012), Helsinki (2011), and Brussels
(2010). Since its launch in 2010, more than 100
researchers, academics, and cultural professionals
have presented their work. While attracting
researchers and academics from institutions from
across Europe, the Research Session has also
brought experts from Australia, Brazil, China,
Colombia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and
the United States.
ENCATC’s dedication to sharing, exchanging and
reflecting on these topics proves once more the
network’s aim to strengthen the European research
area and build knowledge societies.

The points for discussion on the agenda included:
The relationship between the research and the
cultural sector (needs, professionalisation, transfer
of knowledge); The relationship between the
research and the policy makers (policy based
research, influencing or not the decision making
process, spread of knowledge by policymakers and
academics (valorization); and The relationship
between research and education, required
competences.
Organised into four parallel sessions, topics of this
year’s research session included: audience
development, cultural policy, marketing and tourism
management, heritage, museums, libraries and
institutional memory. This was an excellent
opportunity for other academics, researchers, arts
and cultural operators, students, policy makers, and
artists to get the latest research developments and
gain new perspectives and insights into the field of
cultural management and policy. Questions and
discussions were led by chairs who are academics
and experts in their respective culture and art
related field.

“Culture(s) in Sustainable Futures”
The "Culture(s) in Sustainable Futures" Conference
will be held in Helsinki from 6-8 May 2015 to
explore the roles and meanings of culture in
sustainable development using a transdisciplinary
approach.
Is culture the fourth pillar of sustainability, alongside
the ecological, economic and social aspects? How
does culture act as a catalyst for ecological
sustainability, human well-being and economic
viability? What would our futures look like if
sustainability was embedded in the multiple
dimensions of culture, including different
worldviews and values, ways of life, and other
forms of cultural expression?
This book celebrates 25 years of the European
Diploma of Cultural Project Management run by the
Association Marcel Hicter. It also coincides with 20
years of Oracle, with both anniversaries being
marked in Delphi, Greece in June 2014, where this
book is launched. It combines chapters by people
closely associated with the Diploma comprising the
Pedagogic Team and Orientation Board as well as
reflections from previous Diploma participants and
Oracle members. Two exemplary projects are
presented, as well as illustrations from throughout
the Diploma’s history and a full list of everyone who
has completed it.
These historical reflections notwithstanding, it is
intended to be as much a book about the present
and future as the past, with the Diploma being
used as a ‘stepping off point’ for further thought
and creative developments.

A cultural transition that embeds sustainability in
the cultural understandings and daily practices of
society has the power to shift humanity’s currently
unsustainable trajectory. Culture already plays
many roles in (un)sustainability but the scientific,

The Power of Culture in Reconciliation
in the Ukraine Crisis
Agenda 21 for Culture, promoted by the Culture
Committee
of
United
Cities
and
Local
Governments (UCLG), celebrates its tenth
anniversary. With the aim to capitalise on the
knowledge accumulated on the issue of culture and
sustainable local development, it has recently
launched a "good practice" database available
online. The projects presented have been selected
on the basis of criteria such as innovation,
participation,
sustainability,
efficiency,
transversality and reproducibility.
"More Europe-Cultural external relations" is a civil
society initiative that advocates to position culture,
one of the strongest assets for Europe, and cultural
relations at the heart of the European Union's (EU)
external affairs.
The World music center of Aarhus (Denmark), the
World city forum of Milano (Italy), the Ha long
ecomuseum (Vietnam) and the Emilio Balcarce
tango orchestra school in Buenos Aires (Argentina)
are some of the good practices included in the
database.
It recently commissioned a study on the power of
culture as a tool for reconciliation in the context of
the crisis in Ukraine. The coordinator of the
document is Dr. Olga Burlyuk, an Assistant
Professor at the Centre for EU Studies at Ghent
University, Belgium. The report contains numerous
comments and suggestions from experts from both
countries involved, Russia and Ukraine, as well as
from other European countries: United Kingdom,
Germany, and the Netherlands.

“Living Together in a Sustainable
Europe - Museums Working for Social
Cohesion"
6-8 November 2014 // Bologna, Italy
Invitation to other cities to share their experiences
through the database
Contact:
Info [at] agenda21culture.net
This event will be an opportunity to explore with
other art and culture professionals how museums
can play a central role in society, what they can do
in times of economic and social stress, areas
where politics have failed to develop and respond
with appropriate instruments, where civil society
organisations and culture in particular, might have
a better position to act on.

Re-Create 2015 will mark the 10th Anniversary of
the International Conference on the Histories of
Media Art, Science and Technology. The
conference will be hosted by two Hexagram sites
at Concordia University and Université du Québec
à Montréal (UQAM), core antennas of the largest
network dedicated to research-based creative
practice in media art, design and technology. ReCreate 2015 proposes the central question of what
theories, methodologies and techniques can be
used to understand past, present and indeed,
future paradigms of creative material practice
involving technologies within research contexts,
from a historical and critical point of view.
The Summit is designed to promote mutual and
hands-on learning as well as long-term
partnerships among cities and local and regional
governments that recognize the important place of
culture in sustainable development and are willing
to implement the new Agenda 21 for culture. The
UCLG Culture Summit is also an important
opportunity and a timely moment to connect with
other stakeholders: the organizations and networks
that are advocating for the place of culture in the
global campaign on the UN Post-2015 Sustainable
Development Goals, that is, the #culture2015goal
campaign.
