Culture, Organisation & Sustainability Management (COSM) 15 ECTS

COSM is the educational offer of harmonised three courses (3 x 5 ECTS) focused on cultural management and organisational change regarding wide range of sustainability values:

COSM is a laboratory of sustainability focused cultural management teaching methods and social (community) impact tools, applied to cultural management and cultural organisations practices.

The first side of the COSM perspective is the one that acknowledge, adapt, and strengthen the role of cultural managers in supporting the general sustainability movement, impacting people’s and industries’ pro-ecological behaviours, assisting all types of attempts to make our life more sustainable, ethical, responsible or balanced – in environmental, social and economic sense.

The second perspective of the COSM is the one from the inside of cultural management ecosystems. To strengthen sustainability values-oriented practices of leaders and employees of culture, art & heritage organisations’, as well as culture & arts entrepreneurs. This includes the quality of organisational cultures, the range and accessibility of professional development conditions, non-toxic leadership, synergetic and participative cultural policies as a soil for cultural management practice, ethical and balanced cultural work environment. This is all about providing tools and conditions for a sustainable, healthy, ethically concerned cultural management ecosystems. We require a refreshed perspective on the impact of cultural policies’ political trends and conditions on the cultural management practice. Sustainability values oriented cultural management might be the answer.

Participants who will accomplish all three COSM courses (1+2+3, 15 ECTS) will be granted with a special final certificate / document confirming their expertise in Culture and Sustainability.

The courses:

  • COSM 1: Cultural Organisation & Sustainability Management 5 ECTS
  • COSM 2: Cultural Entrepreneurship & Sustainability Management 5 ECTS
