The European Arts Management Programme is an alliance of Arts Management vocational training programmes in European higher education institutions. There is a need for training courses leading to professional qualifications in Arts Management. The project will develop new vocational training tools and qualifications in this field. The methodology is a combination of practice-based research, discussion, comparison and exchange of teaching methodology. The project will help to increase the ideas and expertise encountered by students in the partner institutions, and it will widen student's mental horizons. The results (compilation of methodologies, guidance notes and case studies) will be published through international journals and web sites.
