Contents:

A successful completion of “Basic course Music-, event- and cultural management in theory and practice” is obligatory to take part in this course!

There will be 1-4 groups taught in English. In the advanced course you can earn another 4 credits. Characteristics of the advanced course: more individual working, more personal responsibility for projects, bigger projects encompassing more than one semester.

In each group we will discuss, manage and finally evaluate examples of specific (and “real”) music concerts, projects and events. We will explore different areas of project managing, teamwork and leadership, and the common value of culture: "culture is the solution..."
