ENCATC
is
the
leading
European network on cultural
policy and management. It is an
independent
membership
organisation gathering over 100
higher education institutions and
cultural organisations in over 40
countries. ENCATC was founded
in 1992 to represent, advocate
and
promote
cultural
management and cultural policy
education, professionalise the
cultural sector to make it
sustainable, and to create a
platform of discussion and
exchange at the European and
international level.
> EDITORIAL: What skills do arts sector grads need to
develop their career?
Many people think that work in the cultural
sector is often underpaid, precarious and
inequitable. It’s a situation that has only
become challenging in recent years due to
the stagnating economy, and arts funding
cuts. For many young graduates, finding
work in this sector also depends on being
able to undertake one or multiple
internships, which are mostly unpaid.
There is an expectation now that higher
education institutions have a role in
producing “work ready” or “employable”
students.
So what do young people want from an
arts industry education to prepare them to
enter the workforce? To know more, the
Guardian’s Culture Professional’s Network
organized a roundtable discussion and
workshop session through which each
group was able to talk honestly about
issues surrounding work in the sector.
Tutors present at both discussions thought
about how the concerns raised could be
turned into a curriculum that would better
prepare students for work in the cultural
sector. The end result was a five-week
workshop series that contains a list of
discussions and tasks, some of which are
highlighted below, that sought to address
the issues raised.
One of the key things is that students
have stop assuming that they are
completely unaware of the nature of work
in the sector. They do know that work in
this sector is built on short-term contracts
and portfolio work. But current career
development
advice
still
focuses
predominately on jobs that are permanent,
stable and based on a standard,
predictable career progression. The
continued emphasis on well-put together
resumes and cover letters being the main
tools required when seeking employment
doesn’t take into account hiring practices
in an industry where self-employment and
portfolio careers are commonplace.
Students also have been asked what they
wanted
alongside
their
studies:
essentially, what concepts or things could
we implement that would help them better
prepare for work in this industry?
The first was a physical space for
reflection. The cultural sector is an
amazing and exciting place to work
because of the various types of roles and
jobs available across so many different art
forms. But such an array of opportunities
can also be daunting when a fresh
graduate is trying to find a way in.
The second thing students wanted was
experience: somewhere to practice what
they felt were essential skills needed to
obtain work in the sector. These skills
ranged from how to put together a 10minute pitch to knowing what your
employment rights were if you were
commissioned for a project or selfemployed.
On
this
front
sector
professionals were invited with relevant
experience to speak to students about
how to maintain a portfolio career and how
to pitch.

What will our cities be like in future? What will
'citizenship' mean? How will cities meet people's
expectations? How will they face key challenges
such as climate change, unemployment and
poverty? These are some of the questions we
hope to answer in our publication, which will
mark the 30th anniversary of EUROCITIES.
For example:

contributions from researchers could
develop new concepts or ideas, unveiling
new trends or research questions related
to the future of our cities,

journalists could develop an opinion piece
(editorial type) based on their coverage of
urban issues, addressing a larger societal
challenge related to the future of our cities,

contributions from architects/urbanists/
urban and regional planners could provide
a reflecting piece on the transformation of
the urban fabric,

novelists could provide a very short story
where the urban space should play a
prominent role or be the main protagonist,
focusing on images and scenarios about
urban life in the future, dealing with both
societal, spatial, environmental challenges,

activists and opinion formers, young
leaders of influential organisations in the
social, environmental, cultural or business
sectors, could provide an opinion piece
stating their position on the future of urban
development in Europe.

The ENCATC Award exists to stimulate
academic research in the field of cultural policy
and
management
to
explore,
through
comparative
and
cross-cultural
research,
contemporary issues at stake and possibly
anticipate new cultural policy orientations.
Moreover, it contributes to the process of
creating an "infrastructure", a network of scholars
who are competent in doing comparative
research projects in cultural policy and
management issues. “It is extremely important to
listen and to anticipate the needs of the cultural
sectors and thus to be able to analyse and
understand them with solid research methods.
This research will allow academics to update
their curricula and to properly educate the future
generation of cultural managers and operators.
The ENCATC Award and the Book Series project
are precisely answering to this important need in
a very concrete way,” said ENCATC Secretary
General, GiannaLia Cogliandro Beyens.

promote the career of young researchers, Annika
Hampel said: “ I would like to sincerely thank
