Managing Cultural Projects and Events
Nil
Students will on average spend 150 hours over the teaching period undertaking the teaching, learning and assessment activities for this unit.
This will include educator guided online learning activities within the unit site.
Online independent and asynchronous collaborative learning up to a maximum of 3 hours each week. In addition, there will be 3 scheduled online seminars of 2 hours duration over the trimester.
An active and diverse events program is a feature of vibrant and dynamic places. Events contribute to a range of cultural, social, economic and environmental outcomes. As a result, a growing number of organisations (including arts, sporting, education and tourism), government departments, community groups and commercial businesses are engaged in delivering events. These events are developed in response to diverse issues, locations/ destinations, communities/ audiences and business objectives. This unit develops skills in designing, planning and delivering festivals and events. It examines the use of a range of management processes, including: project management; operations and risk management; financial management; human resources; and strategic marketing.
