MAPSI is a joint educational initiative on the impact of arts project that is funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union. A summer school will take place in Helsinki / Kallio-Kunninkala (Finland) for the 25-30 August 2014. The working language of the school will be English.
A combination of lectures, presentations, case studies, visits to cultural institutions and open discussions with scholars and practitioners will allow students from different countries and from artistic and economic disciplines to reflect and learn about how to manage the cultural, social and economic impact of cultural projects and institutions.
Undergraduate students (3rd year and above) and graduate students from the participating institutions are invited to apply for a grant to participate at the Summer School.
