Product information "Participation, Diversity & Empowerment"

This module explores the societal role of cultural management in more depth and in terms of participative approaches. You will learn to implement participative models within and outside cultural organisations, to create opportunities for visitor and staff input and to contribute to community-building processes.

Course content

  • Key terminology and concepts of participation, empowerment and diversity
  • Case studies on participatory/community arts/co-creation Projects
  • Cultural equity and how to achieve creative justice


This module was developed and designed in close cooperation with the Goethe-Institut.

Course structure:

The module lasts 6 weeks and is divided into 3-4 phases. During each phase, you can decide when to prepare and review the content by working through the course material and tasks. There is usually one webinar in each phase, scheduled according to the students' time zones. These are the only fixed dates. Since the course is revised before it begins, the exact dates cannot be communicated beforehand. We calculate a weekly workload of 21 hours. Of course, this may vary depending on personal circumstances. The portfolio exam must be handed in at the end of the course.
