Objectives
Cities are now a privileged stage for the promotion of cultural heritage, for the contemporary creation, for the development
of diverse cultural practices but also for the consolidation of a cultural democracy that combines artistic practices with the
fruition by its citizens.
Moreover, the cultural policies of cities are real mechanisms that contribute to its strategic development, while the culture
and the arts contribute to the promotion of cities at a national and international level.
It is therefore important to analyze many of these dynamics taking into account the different local realities but comparing
national experiences with various international case studies.

attention to the large document databases. This context leads to the involvement of students through exercises such as
presentations citation or a reference to the methods and content of the research work. Second, the progress of the
evaluation process, conceiving evaluation as a learning process that allows the use of soft skills to the making of social
sciences.

test performed followed by an oral presentation and justified from a set of citations; construction (10%), constituted by the
presence in class and participation in cultural activities close to the themes of the program; research (70%), followed route
