ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS
Foreword
...
This idea for an e-book stemmed from an ERASMUS Intensive Programme Project European Cultural Management Policies and Practices for the Creative Use of Cultural Heritage (2013, Pécs, Hungary) that brought together specialists from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geographical regions, to provide theoretical reflection and empirical approaches on cultural heritage management for university students interested in the theme. We hoped the programme would broaden the participants' knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding heritage and cultural policy. The ERASMUS IP program aimed to address significant 3 multidisciplinary themes:
1. Developing & designing experiences for cultural/creative tourism
2. Roles in mapping, defining & building recognition of cultural heritage
3. Evaluation of social benefits of cultural heritage projects
The international student body were are studying Cultural Studies, Andragogy, Heritage Tourism, Management and Business, Drama and Festivals, Architectural Engineering and Electrical Engineering shared their interests for exploring how cultural heritage can be kept alive and transformed in response to the needs of the communities. Everyone hailed from universities in cities which once acted as a European Capital of Culture-project, playing as motors of cultural heritage marketing and cultural tourism development. The University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UNEECC) network was supporting the IP project from the start. The study program succeeded in bringing together 31 students and 12 members of teaching staff (4 Greek, one Portuguese, one Romanian and 6 Hungarian) representing a wide range of disciplinary fields. None of the students and teachers were specializing in Cultural Heritage Studies per se, but they had a wish to gain insights into how heritage, culture and tourism contribute to the multidimensional nature of human development and to be engaged in dialogue with cultural experts and key lay persons. The Intensive Programme presented a strong multidisciplinary approach, fostering the interactions of students from differing academic disciplines to a great extent.
In compiling this reader the intention is to provide a valuable resource for teaching purposes. Essays, theoretical frameworks, case studies drawn from diverse contexts, opinion papers, resource materials (documents) and teaching materials are covered in this book defining and reviewing the key concepts and practical core areas of cultural heritage management in a thoroughly accessible way available to both students and researchers alike.
It is reasonable to say that each section will provide something of interest and value for discerning readers. There are commonalities between chapters and some overlap, which ensures that the reader does not miss out on key issues and ideas.
