Cultural Entrepreneurship in the Global North and the Global South
Unfortunately, this summer school has been cancelled and applications will no longer be accepted.
The study of cultural and creative entrepreneurship is a specialism of the dept. Arts Culture and Media in Groningen. The topic is normally approached from a western and economic perspective.
This summer school broadens the perspective on entrepreneurship in the arts and culture, by cooperating with students and professionals in Africa. Thus, the summer school contributes to developing new knowledge on entrepreneurship in the arts and culture by learning from the commonalities and differences of the practices in the global north and south.
The location of this summer school will be Nairobi, Kenya.
The African practice of entrepreneurship in culture and creative contexts provides perspectives that need further investigation in cooperation with professionals in the field, in order to broaden and deepen the coverage of the term.
At the same time, concerning the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative sector in Africa there is a distinct wish to develop new knowledge in combined research and education activities and develop tools for policy development.
This summer school will offer students the opportunity to learn from research results in the Global North and South on an equal basis, while the summer school will invite students to work with practitioners in order to apply and enrich theoretical insights.
