Overview:

Cultural planning is playing a vital role in building vibrant communities and propelling sustainable growth around the world. A growing international demand for professionals with the knowledge and expertise to advance cultural development has put cultural planners, policy makers, and administrators in the arts and cultural sector at the centre of this trend. By organizing and leveraging public and private policy affecting the cultural and creative sectors, those professionals advancing cultural planning and development play an increasingly important role in building livable, sustainable and intercultural communities.

Spud’s Thoughts:

Can’t speak personally to this group, but it seems like a really interesting opportunity. I’ve had a lot more friends who are looking for solid certificate programs to back up their work. Often times they want to dive into the social change community but feel their past education doesn’t quite prepare them enough. These online certificate programs may be a good alternative if that’s the step you are looking to take.
