This module supports you to view, assess and help develop festivals and events in their political and public sector environments. Together, we will critically examine the "instrumental" purposes to which festivals and events may be applied, within different policy domains. The module also considers project planning within the events industry, and tools that can support such approaches. We will also consider different forms of sustainability, analysis of stakeholder relationships, and other event creation considerations. The module draws on a wide variety of festivals, events, policy-related documents and relevant organisations, from domestic and international contexts. You are encouraged to bring your own experiences and interests into the discussion, as the module benefits from case study analysis.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Evaluate the relationships between festival and event development and public sector policy, as experienced in different contexts.

LO2: Identify and examine relevant public sector agencies and associated organisations, operating within local, national and international environments.

LO3: Interpret and evaluate relationships between festivals and events and associated stakeholders and host communities.

LO4: Devise and construct policy related responses to festival and event development opportunities, informed by theoretical, industry, public sector and project management sources.
