Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

The course provides the students with the theoretical and conceptual frameworks to discuss, analyze and manage cultural entrepreneurship. It provides competences to formulate and develop entrepreneurial processes and to apply these to empirical cases within the field of arts and culture. The course introduces three approaches to cultural entrepreneurship: 1) cultural entrepreneurship as managerially driven endeavors to change and renew cultural institutions. 2) cultural entrepreneurship as politically and economically driven endeavors to initiate and support urban and regional development. 3) cultural entrepreneurship as socially driven endeavors to advocate community identity and increase diversity in artistic and cultural expressions. The course links the three approaches to globalization with a specific focus on new social media and technologies, cultural and identity studies, and the opportunities offered by a global economy. In terms of paedagogics, the course requires the students to initiate, organize and assess cultural projects.
Description of the teaching methods
The course consists of dialogue based lectures, group based work on empirical cases, initiation organization and assessment of cultural projects, and inputs from cultural entrepreneurs.
Feedback during the teaching period
Forms of continuous feedback are essential parts of the course: Students will be asked to work in groups on a project, which covers a cultural entrepreneurial doing. Students are asked throughout the course to both present their work in process, as well as specific chapters from the boo "Effectual Entrepreneurship". This is done either via student presentations in class, peer-to-peer feedback sessions or on-site visits outside the classroom to follow up and discuss organizations or project or theory specific challenges.
Student workload
Lectures and workshop 42 hours
Preparation and exam 164 hours
