COSM teaching modules for cultural professionals (www.cosm.fi) designed at Humak were presented at Lund University in the frame of the panel on Existential Sustainability. Our school as the place that offers education to largest number of graduates of cultural management in Finland feels responsible to re-navigate the role of future cultural producers to the direction of sustainability related values. Our senior lecturer Marcin Poprawski shared our experience and students’ practical response with the audience of the ‘Buzz for Europe’ Conference gathered in the Universitetshuset.

One of the perspectives shared was the testimony of Humak student Mayreth Wolff who used COSM in her work practice and confirmed that cultural and creative industries professionals can be the prime operators of sustainability-oriented change, by creating new stories to tell, new narratives, by developing new formats and new horizons to reach and give the silent and forgotten voices a tone. COSM courses are focused on cultural managers’ work that is assisting and provoking all possible attempts to make our life more sustainable, balanced, and responsible, based on intergenerational dialogue. The second perspective is the one from the inside of cultural and creative sector ecosystems as aimed to secure more healthy organizational cultures in creative work environment.
