Background
Cultural goods and services, in whatever form they are expressed, will play an ever-increasing role as an instrument of development as well as an engine for job creation.
The International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (Management of Development Programme) and the University of Turin, have pooled their resources to offer this first level Master programme in Cultural Projects for Development. The course combines essential knowledge of cultural economics and cultural policies with the competences needed to design projects in the cultural field. Case studies and study visits are an integral part of the course, designed to facilitate the application of the learning into practice, with emphasis on exploring promotion and marketing policies and techniques of cultural assets in Italy.
The Master, founded by Prof. Walter Santagata conducted in English is now in its seventh edition. The previous editions were attended by approx. 106 students from 67 countries from Africa, Middle East, Asia and Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
Members of the Scientific Board of the Course are senior development specialists from the International Training Centre of the ILO and world-renowned professors from the University of Turin, the University Paris 1 Sorbonne-Pantheon and the Macquarie University of Sydney.
