Is 20% youth unemployment in the western world inevitable? Will generations of young workers be condemned to precarious work conditions in developed economies, or persistent poverty in the emerging ones? This doesn’t have to be the new reality. If we consider that just as the “knowledge economy” defined the 20th century, the “creative economy” will dominate the next.

ENCATC is a nongovernamental organisation with operational associate status to UNESCO
We must accept that in a world where traditional skills and labor will be outsourced and automated, logic will take us from a to b, but creativity will take us everywhere. The lure of visual culture is pervasive – fuelling phenomena like Facebook, Instagram, Vice Media and the like. But the state of culturebased education is in crisis. The arts are being carved out from curricula, at the very time... When creative industries are growing at a faster rate than the world economy. When the rate of joblessness in America’s creative sphere is half of what it is for other professions. When music, fashion and design in Britain, so brilliantly showcased at the Olympics, employs more people than its financial sector. To stimulate innovation, we must re-invent the way we study humanities. And to achieve that, museums must be put in the picture, not just in the frame, such as: 1. That creativity will be a survival skill of the future; 2. That the props and people within museums are essential resources for learning; and 3. That by embracing technology and forging innovative partnerships, museums will become the fiery muses that set the world’s innovation alight, and not the mausoleums where art just goes to die. You may already buy into the first idea, given widespread data from urban theorists like Richard Florida, confirming that culture brings economic benefit in very measur-able ways.
ENCATC > PROMOTING STUDENT MOBILITY PRAXIS is an information service for ENCATC members ONLY.
It’s not surprising that governments from Singapore to Sao Paolo are racing to “teach” innovation. China too has started championing this premise; recognizing that long-term, being cheapest may carry too high a price. But can innovation be imposed? Can creativity be taught in classrooms? Can economies built on perspiration shift to being fuelled by inspiration? This is where I see the vital role of the museum. For 2,000 years museums have held an exalted place in society, built on the belief that through objects, they tell the history of how humans shape the world – and have been shaped by it. In 2012, just over half of youth in the UK attended a museum or public gallery – that’s more than go to football matches. The same is true in France. But how can museums stay true to the educational premise on which they were conceived - in the face of tighter budgets and global recession? How can they teach record numbers of people philosophy, history, literature and art, in a way that leads to a greater understanding of the world? The answer lies in partnerships with entrepreneurs and industry to forge cocollaborative models and prototypes, like those emerging in the sciences and maths. The spiraling cost of education has driven universities and visionary educators to pioneer massive open online courses such as in the past 12 months, Udacity and Ed-X have been accessed by over a million students. And since its launch five years ago Khan Academy delivered over 200 million lessons. So why can’t the pillars of arts education be similarly reconstructed?

Therefore the 4th Kufstein Summer School for Arts Management will focus on the question whether we have to reflect a conceivable end of national cultural identities to strengthen a special European approach or whether we have to reformulate the tasks of national cultural institutions and artistic projects to understand the value of national experiences, traditions and approaches in a new way. The Summer School will gather experts from European and nonEuropean countries as well as artists, politicians, arts managers and students from different fields to discuss this topic on a
theoretical as well as practical level. An important feature of the Summer School will be workshops with active involvement of the participants.
stage
Almost every European country has its own cultural institute like the Goethe Institut (Germany), Instituto Cervantes (Spain), British Council (UK), Institute Francais (France), Finnland-Institut (Germany) Österreich Institut (Austria), etc. as well as several foundations and associations focusing on international cultural transfers. These institutes are very important for creating a European cultural network. Nonetheless, in this context it is very difficult to define what kind of national cultural understanding should be presented and what the precise differences within these European measurements to improve artistic exchanges are.
