Join us for this taster seminar as we explore the dynamic landscape of the creative industries, guided by Andy Pratt, UNESCO Chair of Global Creative Economy and Professor of Cultural Economy. In today's rapidly evolving world, the creative industries have emerged as a driving force in shaping our culture and economy. But what exactly are the creative industries, and why are they so crucial? Andy Pratt will explain the core concepts and significance of creative industries, shedding light on their transformative power. Moreover, this seminar will explore how the creative industries themselves have changed over the years. We will discuss the forces driving change, the innovations shaping the creative landscape, and the reasons why adaptability is key for success in this dynamic field. One pressing issue within the creative industries is diversity and inclusion. This seminar will delve into the 'diversity problem' that is common in these industries. Together, we will explore strategies to manage this challenge and foster a more inclusive and equitable creative ecosystem. This seminar is open to everyone interested in gaining insights into the creative industries but is especially designed to give participants a taster of what studying MA Culture, Policy and Management.
