2nd Summer Academy on Cultural and Creative Industries (SACCI)
APPLY NOW!
Deadline for applications: 30 April 2019
Date: 16-20 June 2019 Place: Trento, Italy
WHAT THE SUMMER ACADEMY OFFERS
The Summer Academy provides training for policy makers and representatives of cultural and creativeindustries (CCIs). At the end of the course participants will acquire a deeper understanding of the sector, its needs and dynamics and develop expertise in putting in place effective and integrated strategies and policy frameworks to uncap the full potential of CCIs as drivers for local economic growth, job creation and inclusion.
The Summer Academy is a three-year project. The first edition took place on 11-15 June 2018 in Trento and Bolzano, Italy.
The second edition will take place on 16-20 June 2019 in Trento, Italy.
THE 2019 FOCUS AND IMPROVED METHODOLOGY
The Academy fosters a hands-on approach, which introduces participants to the overall conceptual and theoretical framework of culture and creativity in local development and invites them to engage proactively, and in creative ways, with local organisations, institutions and places.
Within this approach, the Academy will include on-site visits and interview-style sessions with key local actors. This will allow participants to consider real-life situations and to engage with practical dilemmas often faced by their organisations and institutions. For the 2019 edition, three main dilemmas have been identified:
► Tradition vs Innovation (keywords: digital transformation, cultural production and consumption, the role/identity of museums and other cultural institutions in contemporary society)
► Preservation vs (Re)activation (keywords: urban/rural regeneration, creative identity of places, sustainability)
► Linear development vs Holistic approach (keywords: cross-sectorial policies, embedding creativity in local systems, cross innovation, skills for a creative city)
Each day, these dilemmas will be further explored through debates and discussions with two or three international speakers and/or professionals, who will present different points of view on, approaches to or solutions for the dilemma in focus.
WHO THIS ACADEMY IS FOR
The programme of the Summer Academy targets national and international policy makers and practitioners active in the promotion of and support to creative cultural sectors at the local, regional, national and international level, as well as cultural and creative entrepreneurs.
Participants should be strongly committed to the development of the cultural and creative sector. They should be freelancers or currently work in private companies and organisations (foundations, co-operatives, NGOs, grassroots community organisations, non-profit entities, etc.) or public institutions (national, regional, provincial or local governments, development agencies, research centres, international organizations) active in the field of CCI development.
