Presentation

The Workshop, coherently with the aims mainly of the Master's Degree Course in History of Art to which it refers, but also open to the other courses of study at DIRAAS, is set up as an operative seminar with the aim of providing participants with the knowledge, approaches and tools to act in the protection and valorisation of the heritage of cultural assets and activities through entrepreneurial, organisational and project formulas. The creation of new cultural enterprises is addressed, according to recurring associative and corporate forms and through the preparation of cultural business plans capable of assessing their effectiveness, opportunities, risks, scope for action and sustainability over time. At the same time, the Workshop intends to stimulate the participants' design skills, encouraging practices of conception, feasibility, planning, implementation and evaluation of cultural initiatives and events. 

Objectives

.
• to contribute to the managerial development of the participants, framing the actions of promotion and enhancement of the artistic heritage within an entrepreneurial, organisational and managerial dimension in its most evident critical implications (opportunities and risks, context, constraints, governance of resources, planning and control, communication, quality, evaluation, critical capacity for analysis, verification of the various feasibilities);
.
• provide information and knowledge elements on how cultural enterprises operate, on recurring legal and organisational models, and on analysis and evaluation tools for setting up new entities;
• provide a methodological kit of approaches, tools and techniques related to cultural planning in its conceptual, ex ante (feasibility), programming and implementation phases;
• encourage teamwork skills and relational dynamics, through a methodology of collective involvement of participants on exercises and discussions of concrete cases, but also emphasising the importance of the management of the different stakeholders of each undertaking and project;
• acting on the development of strategic behavioural, planning, relational and service skills, stimulating individual capacities and aptitudes to undertake also as awareness and resources of personal confidence;

Structure, dates, times

The structure of the Workshop is divided into two parts:

.
• the first part focuses on the "subjects" that act organisationally in the cultural sector in various forms and that, regardless of their profit or non-profit nature, constitute forms of cultural enterprise, with particular attention to the methods, operations and evaluations that need to be considered for their creation and management (skills, market dimension, strategic profile, demand and supply, legal forms and organisational models, economic-financial dimension, sustainability), also with cultural business plan models and Canvas;
.
• The second part, on the other hand, privileges the activities carried out by cultural enterprises in their different types and declinations, focusing on project culture and thus on the tools and practical knowledge for the realisation of cultural projects and events (cultural project management).

The workshop has a duration of 25 hours, of which 16 are frontal lessons and 9 individual study. It is divided into 4 meetings of 4 hours each on the following dates:
