ENCATC's objectives

ENCATC’s key objectives are:

To create a stimulating environment for all institutions and professionals in cultural management and cultural policy wishing to share experience, exchange good practice and build transnational partnerships.
To bridge the – perceived – gap between education, training, research and professional practice in cultural management.
To embrace the diversity of its members, promoting good practice, stimulating high-quality education and training among members, and encouraging cooperation and partnerships.
To establish close cooperative links with cultural managers to further develop theory and cultural management learning that is rooted in practice, and providing a space for reflection and discussion for both teachers and managers.
To build creative partnerships with arts and media organisations, and major stakeholders in the area of culture and education.
To develop partnerships with other networks worldwide that have similar objectives to those of ENCATC.
