MOOC Managing the Arts: Cultural Organisations in Transition course – Call for registration
Course duration: 14 Apr – 14 Jul 2016

From the organizer:

After the success of last year’s course, registration is now open for the second year of the Mentored Open Online Course (MOOC) – Managing the Arts. Developed by the Goethe-Institut in cooperation with the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, the course will be available worldwide for free interdisciplinary further training.

In 13 weeks from April 14 2016, participants will be guided through the online course ‘Managing the Arts: Cultural Organizations in Transitions’.

The course’s main topic is “transition”. We will approach tricky questions: How can arts organizations and cultural institutions operate successfully in times of rapid technological, economic and cultural changes? How can they navigate through times of crisis? What are the most important transformations in the cultural sector and how can cultural organizations benefit from them?

Learn about challenges for cultural managers around the world, acquire management skills and gain direct insights into four arts organizations. Share your ideas with an online international learning community and obtain a certificate (5 ECTS).

The learning outcomes focus on:
– Audience development and outreach
– Effective digital communications
– Auditing and evaluating an arts program
– Sustainable operations and marketing
– Working with local cultural organizations in a global landscape
– Planning for political and economic contingencies
– Managing interdisciplinary teams and functions
– Co-creating, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding
– Strategy creation
