The study into ACP cultural training courses provides a comparative analysis on the availability and accessibility of cultural management and cultural entrepreneurship training programs in ACP countries. Fast and convenient to consult, this study identifies best practices, strengths and weaknesses, issues and challenges of the cultural training sector in ACP countries. The analysis is accompanied by a directory of ACP institutes and/or cultural training programs. Without being exhaustive, around 200 training programs have been inventoried. They are presented in the form of data sheets highlighting information such as the country where the training takes place, the delivered curriculum, duration, pedagogical principles, accessibility conditions and possible prerequisites, obtained certificate, etc.
The data, collected and analysed in 2015, were gathered directly at the source, either by sending questionnaires to the representatives of the institutions and training programs or by individual interviews and online research.
