Inclusive Cultural Leadership in Sustainable Development Field School, Vietnam
28th December 2016 – 18th January 2017
The Field School provides first hand ‘fingers in the dirt’ experiential learning through case studies from diverse cultural, economic, social and environmental contexts. This four pillar approach to sustainable development facilitated through an immersion covers a range of places across Vietnam from Hanoi/Ha Long Bay/Mai Chau in the north to Ho Chi Minh City and UNESCO Bio Sphere Reserves in the south. It addresses as to how the agency of inclusive cultural leadership plays a critical role in the transformation of local, regional and national cultures and economies. It profiles as to how international and national legal instruments for safeguarding cultural diversity, governance structures, and local area planning intersect within integrated and interdisciplinary management. It provides a critical introduction to cultural mapping, gender and youth issues in community engagement, poverty alleviation, Millennium Development Goals, South South Cooperation and the transition to Sustainable Development Goals in the UN post-2015 Development Agenda.
The Field School provides first-hand experience to graduate students, researchers and professionals, as capacity building for locating culture in sustainable development in a rapidly globalising world. Cultural and environmental resources of all kinds are examined in the context of the four pillars of cultural, economic, environmental and social sustainability. The focus is on real-life examples and documented case studies in Vietnam. Partners in the development of the case studies in the past fifteen years include UNDP, UNESCO, ICOM, ICOMOS, IUCN, NORAD, SIDA, AUSAID, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations. The School is facilitated through Sustainable Development programming, the main focus of the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum.
This Field School is offered as a professional development program to those involved in humanities, social and environmental sciences, tourism, community development, cross cultural studies, archaeology, anthropology, planning, postcolonial studies, sustainable development, cultural heritage law and interdisciplinary studies. The Field School is the only study/professional development program of its kind offered in Vietnam with the support of the local, provincial and national institutions and their respective authorities. It also addresses conflicts between conservation and development, negotiations with stakeholders and business models for sustainable development.
