Conferencehttp://www.d.umn.edu/cue/main/2015conference.html
From a theoretical perspective, what sets apart cultural
entrepreneurship from "traditional", or "regular" or "other"
entrepreneurship.
What exactly qualifies as cultural entrepreneurship? What other,
related entrepreneurships are out there, such as arts
entrepreneurship, creative entrepreneurship, or social
entrepreneurship?Who is talking about cultural
entrepreneurship?What practitioners, i.e. entrepreneurs, are now
beginning to identify as cultural entrepreneurs, and say so? Most
importantly, how "legitimate" is creative and cultural
entrepreneurship? How much is its economic impact recognized,
measured, and how much is economic policy directed at fostering the
creative and cultural sector. Cultural Entrepreneurship Theory
From a pedagogical perspective, we were asking: What is being
done to educate future generations of cultural entrepreneurs?
Where do programs for creative and cultural entrepreneurship, or
related fields exist, as graduate programs, majors, minors,
certificates, or community/professional programs? What does the
curriculum include, what courses can students choose from, and what
core of courses seem to emerge as one that is present in all - or a
majority of the institutions?What unique educational paths exist in
specialized programs? For example, we know of a cultural
entrepreneurship BA program in Finland that specializes in jewelry
design. Cultural Entrepreneurship Pedagogy
The last component of our conference was dedicated to
entrepreneurial practices - the "doing" of entrepreneurship, and
its impact on the community. We had various speakers and policy
makers present, from non-profit organizations, that detailed their
work in fostering economic growth through the creative industries.
Freelancing, project-based local competitions, professional
short-term training programs, and product development training were
all highlighted. Cultural Entrepreneurship PRACTICE
