PAST PROGRAMMES
The ECUMEST programme - the first postgraduate course in European
cultural management
Diploma launched in 1995 and recognised in France and Romania. The ECUMEST
programme (Master's degree in management of arts and cultural activities
for professionals in Eastern Europe) was launched in 1995 in Bucharest
as a branch of the training programme Mastère Specialisé

School/ECUME Association). This programme included courses, seminars,
research and practical applications (project design and implementation,
target group study, organisational audit), internships, writing the
disertation paper. It offered at the end of the training a Master's
degree in cultural management recognised by the Romanian Ministry of

coming from 14 Eastern countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech
Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Republic of Moldova,
Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine. The programme ended in
2001.
The series of courses in the framework of the PHARE programme "The
Cultural Dimension of Democracy"
As the partner of the ECUME Association (France), ECUMEST contributed
to the design and undertaking of the cultural management course in this
framework by addressing the topics specific to the cultural field. It
is worth mentioning that the structure and part of the trainers have
further been employed by the Masters degree programme in Cultural Management
