Within the scope of the Curricular Unit Project Management II of the Master in Cultural Management, we promote a CYCLE OF OPEN CLASSES with interventions by invited programmers, curators, producers and cultural managers. In each of the sessions, their cultural organizations, projects and activities produced are presented. In this way, it is intended to contribute, in an articulated and targeted way, to the development of specific projects for each of the students. Sessions will be held online (via Zoom) and are open to ESAD.CR students and the entire community.

In this open class, Magda Matias, Artistic Director and Coordinator of the Educational Service of ESTUFA – Plataforma Cultural (https://www.estufa.pt/), will explain the genesis and development of the Estufa in the context of a city in the West region (Torres Vedras), without forgetting the adversities that independent cultural projects face. Another important aspect of the session is related to the sharing of the ESTUFA’s strategic vision and its methodology of cultural intervention in the local and international territory.
