EUCLID Conferences
EUCLID, the UK's EU Cultural Contact Point, is pleased to announce...
Education and training for the cultural sector: what does Europe have to offer?
23 October 2006
Liverpool Hope University, Everton Campus
Education, training and lifelong learning are key priorities for the European Union, especially in the light of the goal of the Lisbon Agenda "to create the most competitive knowledge based economy in the world by 2010". New programmes begin in 2007 which will offer opportunities for support for projects and collaborations across Europe - and in the meantime, the Bologna Process continues its progress towards a new Higher Education Framework for Europe.
But what does all of this mean for the cultural sector?
This conference will address these issues and questions. The programme will include:
· Updates on the new EU funding programmes for education (with presentations from both the UK agencies responsible for these programmes),and on the Bologna Process
· Experts from Europe and the UK presenting and discussing a range of innovative projects and approaches to education and training across Europe
· The UK launch of“Another Brick in the Wall”, a new publication analysing cultural management education in Europe
· An opportunity to join the debate about the relevance of education and training provision to the needs of employers
· A chance to network with European and UK colleagues
This conference is aimed at those working in both education and training, and at those working in the cultural sector who provide education and training activities or who have an interest in this area - perhaps as employers or from a personal interest. The conference will also be of interest to both policy makers and practitioners at local, regional or national level, as it will highlight examples of successful (and less successful) ideas, strategies and actions in education and training across Europe.
