As part of Culture Resource's efforts for building knowledge and developing human capacity in cultural management, Culture Resource published in 2006 the first Arabic 'Guide to Cultural Management', in collaboration with Sharkiat Publishing House in Cairo.
The guide was authored by Marina Barham (Palestine), Makhlouf Boukrouh (Algeria), Hanane Hajjali (Lebanon) and Basma El Husseiny (Egypt).
The Guide to Cultural Management covers topics such as: the position of culture, policies and legislation; management of cultural organizations, production and event management; and management of networks and collaborative projects. It also includes a recommended five day course for beginning and early career cultural managers and a list of Arab trainers.
The Guide was distributed to over 100 cultural organizations in the region for comments or suggestions that can advise a second edition in 2007. The publication (in Arabic) can be viewed at the link below.
