Training programme: Heritage and culture – Challenge and innovation in public policy and practice
The PAI ‘Heritage and culture: Challenge and innovation in public policy and practice’ programme introduces the basic principles behind heritage and cultural policy – what it is, why it is important, and how it can contribute to the economy and society as a whole. It considers topics such as policy reform, cultural tourism development, funding strategies, community heritage and intangible heritage, site management, and sustainable development as well as innovative approaches to heritage and culture in the modern world.

The programme also looks at the often ignored role of innovation and leadership in the sphere of heritage and culture.
It is designed mainly for policy-makers and senior experts working in government ministries and agencies and in non-governmental organisations concerned with the promotion and funding of heritage conservation and culture. Applications will also be welcome from those in the voluntary and private sector who wish to gain insights into the role of heritage and culture in economic development and to engage in dialogue with officials with responsibilities in this field.
