Pioneering minds in the construction of cultural capital: Cultural entrepreneurship and Preservation Education
| Pioneering minds in the construction of cultural capital: Cultural entrepreneurship and Preservation Education The CECI is once again is one of the pioneer institutions in constructing cultural capital on a new cultural concept: Cultural Entrepreneurship. The book “Cultural Entrepreneurship in Theory, Pedagogy and Practice”, - edited by Olaf Kuhlke, Annick Schramme and Rene Kooyman and launched in June 2015 in Duluth, Minnesota, USA – is an outcome of the first world meeting aiming at joining experts in teaching and learning cultural entrepreneurship from 5 continents, discussing and reflecting on issues, challenges and dilemmas involved in engaging students and professional in entrepreneurial behaviour. In the Chapter “New teaching and learning approaches to cultural entrepreneurship for heritage conservation training programs in Brazil” (Karla Penna, Jorge Tinoco & Elisabeth Taylor), CECI presents its experience on inserting Cultural Entrepreneurship into its training curriculum scope as fundamental for the proper preparation of cultural heritage preservation and conservation professionals. CECI also had an important role in constructing another pioneer concept: Preservation Education. In September 2014 was published the book “Preservation Education: Sharing Best Practices and Finding Common Ground”, edited by Barry Stiefel and Jeremy Wells. This book was an outcome of a conference with the same name held in Providence, Rhode Island, USA in September 2012. In the same format of the Duluth Conference, the conference in Providence offered a unique opportunity for educators from around the globe to concentrate on ways to assess and improve programs that focus on the historic environment and heritage. Participants assembled in a special session to discuss and refine concepts directly or tangentially raised in the presented papers, including some that were controversial. Through this process, the participants defined a common set of problems and potential solutions as well as a vision for the future of historic environment education. In 18 produced chapters by worldwide experts, CECI contributed with three chapters in the Preservation Education book – 16% of the selected knowledge for composing the cultural capital on this thematic – showing how CECI’s experience is important in the international field: - Challenges and Dilemmas in Heritage Conservation Silvio Mendes Zancheti - Benefits of Using Qualitative Ethnographic Methodology in the Evaluation of Preservation Training Programs’ Performance in Developing Countries Karla Nunes Penna and Elisabeth Taylor - Training in the Conservation of Modern Architecture: A Latin American Experience Fernando Diniz Moreira and Luiz Manuel do Eirado Amorim |
