Presentation


This course is based on the conviction that cultural management is an ideal and privileged instrument for sociocultural transformation and cohesion in our society. Its contents revolve around this principle.


The sessions combine theoretical aspects with real-life experiences and projects, using applied approaches through Project-Based Learning. In this way, the learning processes are carried out in parallel, combining inductive and deductive processes. Throughout the sessions, cultural management professionals will be invited to delve deeper and expand the course content.



Syllabus


1. Contextualization of cultural and musical management in the society of complexity.


2. Scenarios of Cultural Management in Catalonia.


3. Diagnosis of cultural management projects.


4. Design of innovative cultural management projects.


5. Evaluation and social return of cultural management projects.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
INDIVIDUAL BRIEFCASE AND SELF-EVALUATION 10% 10 0.4 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
INDIVIDUAL WORK 30% 10 0.4 1, 4, 5, 7, 8
GROUP WORK (preparation and defense) 20% 10 0.4 2, 6, 8
Group Project (design and supervision) 40% 40 1.6 2, 3, 4, 6, 7


Proposal

There will be four assessment items, of at least two different types, none of which will account for more than 50% of the final grade. Details will be published on the course's Moodle campus.

In justified cases, it is possible to design and defend the cultural management project individually. This must be communicated to the instructor by September 30, 2026.

To pass the course through continuous assessment, a minimum score of 5 points is required.

Students will receive a grade of \"Not Assessable\" provided they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.

Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.


Single assessment

You will be informed of the date of the theory test and the delivery of the activities in the Virtual Campus. You will have to hand in two activities and take a theory test:

-Theory test: 40%

-Design of a cultural management project proposal: 40%

-Individual work: 20%

Recovery: The same recovery system as for the continuous evaluation will be applied.

In the event that the student does not present/make the three pieces of evidence for the single evaluation, the subject will be left as \"Not evaluable\".

The revision of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous evaluation.

Plagiarism

If the student commits any irregularity that can cause a significant variation in the grading of an evaluation, this will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that is initiated. If there are several irregularities in the evaluation records of the same subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0. Evaluation records with irregularities will not be recoverable.


Use of AI

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the assignment, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in personal analysis and reflection. Students must clearly identify which sections were generated with this technology, specify their undertakings, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the assignment. Lack of transparency in the use of AI is considered academic dishonesty and may result in a penalty on the assignment grade, or greater penalties in serious cases.
