SAM – Strategic Arts Management Master Class bases its educational programme on action learning, conscious that it optimizes the comparison and sharing of real experiences as the construction of new scenarios.
Participate at Strategic Master Class means to be involved in a new concept of classroom: a knowledge and sharing space to facilitate and promote an innovative style of open and creative management where the growth of the intellectual capital is assured.
Discussion rather than lecture, exchange rather than disclosure of tricks, SAM master class founds its specificity upon the hybrid experience of its senior professionals, who are normally engaged in teaching as well as in project management, creative crafting of organizations, initiatives and cultural action.
SAM – Strategic Arts Management Master Class is a project of Tools for Culture.
