Executive Seminar “Managing Cultural Policy” in Berlin

In February 2013, the Hertie School of Governance will launch a Centre for Cultural Policy, which aims to engage in a lively debate on the future of cultural policy from an international comparative perspective. The Executive Seminar "Managing Cultural Policy: Strategic Approaches and Lessons of Creative Cities" (February 6- 9, 2013) marks the beginning of the executive training programme offered by the Centre. The seminar, which is unique in Germany, targets policy-makers and managers in the field of culture wishing to benefit from international case studies and the expertise of outstanding lecturers, including Hans-Georg Knopp, former Secretary-General of the Goethe Institute and Andy C. Pratt, Professor of Culture, Media and Economics at King's College London. Participants will be offered a programme which is rich in terms of content, and which presents the approaches and experiences in cultural policy of global creative cities in a comparative and descriptive manner. A visit to the Berlinale film festival, as well as participation in the opening ceremony of the Centre for Cultural Policy, is included in the seminar programme.
