Masters Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Art - Arts Management; grade: 10.0 out of 10.0; University of Valegrave;ncia (DCADHA); course: Gestioacute;n Cultural; language: English; abstract: For at least three decades the topic of culture has been one of the central elements of development cooperation policies around the world. Numerous reports on the implications of culture in societal and human development processes have inspired researchers and intellectuals as well as policy-makers and cultural operators to look for new tools in order to ensure the adequate position of culture in overall development cooperation strategies. In the context of the current worldwide economic crisis; the challenge of effective and inclusive development cooperation seems more pressing then ever.Today; German and European decision-makers; local authorities; the private sector and civil society; are taking an increasing interest in culture in its various forms as a contributing factor to development on a human scale. It has shown that cultural awareness shows off in terms of economic performance and human development; but also that cultural resources are infinite if one knows how to apply their creative potential. Examples at local as well as at German; European and worldwide levels; show that culture as a resource for development has a high potential for attracting businesses; job creation; generating income and investment; while providing a matrix in which anyone can invent the terms of his or her development. Since culture is dynamic by nature; it provides various well-suited opportunities in the context of the current global crisis and the proceeding loss of identity within our global village. Might not culture; given its rich diversity; be part of the solution for sustainable and more equitable development? Should we not move culture to the forefront of our thinking on models for development and for international dc? And; if yes; what are the obstacles for cultural management? How can we assure that cultural aspects; in its broader sense; are more efficiently integrated into local; national and regional development programs?

The stories behind the jewelry are fascinating and fun... They also add to your imagination for your own creations. I also love this book for its openness about techniques... A cornerstone of the steampunk movement has been sharing such information with entire openness. I havent met steampunk people who answer "how did you do that?" with "Its my secret.". With regards to this Jema Emilly Ladybird Hewitt has done admirably. For example her Absinthe Fairy necklace gives clear directions for faux vitrail work; (like stained glass; but with enamel); and a method that makes it dead simple at home! (I was so pleased that it worked so well.) This is a book that can take you from beginner to producing some really lovely pieces.Perhaps the only drawback of the book is that we must now wait with baited breath and great anticipation for its sequel; which I hope that Ms. Ladybird is in the process of preparing.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Steampunk Fairies? Absolutely!By Charlotte Henley BabbPart of Steampunk is making up stories about your character and your accessories. This is a good introduction to using stories about what the jewelry pieces are for and what they do. Each section has a cute story with a clockwork type fairy image. It uses basic jewelry techniques along with polymer clay and mixed media. An index of projects and stories completes the book; along with a listing of resources and Steampunk groups.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Catherine E.
