Time: 10:30am - 12:00pm
Venue : he1.017 (Burwood campus @ Melbourne)
CHCAP runs a series of public seminars with international and Australian speakers covering a large range of cultural heritage and museum studies themes.
Deakin University's Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) is presenting a special seminar from 10:30 am - 12:00 noon on Wednesday, 22 October on the Burwood Campus in room number he1.017.
The seminar will be given by Pascal Trarieux, Director and Conservator in the Musee de Beaux Arts (Fine Arts Museum), Nimes, France, who is in Australia for a brief visit arranged by Simon Klose, Director of the Benalla Art Gallery.
The topic of Pascal's seminar is 'French Culture in regional development, tourism and education'.
We all know how the French love their culture. In fact, on a per capita basis France provides one of the highest levels of funding to culture. It has an enormous national government department devoted to culture (as well as regional and city departments), and the links with education and tourism are strong and important. They have provided France with a massive tourism economy, a high level of national connectedness and an unshakeable national pride.
Between France and Australia there are many differences - but in the differences lie opportunities. This talk will broadly outline one country's cultural strategy providing an opportunity to build enhanced cultural development strategies for Australian cultural organisations.
All welcome. Please RSVP to wl@deakin.edu.au.
