The Observatório de Favelas is accepting applications for the Cultural Production Engineering course. With the theme “How management practices can impact territories”, the 60-hour course is free and aimed at artists, managers and resident producers, public planners and cultural coordinators, with at least two years of experience and who work in the West and North Zones of the city of Rio. There are 30 spots reserved for this audience. Applications must be submitted between April 20 and May 4. The course is supported by the Municipal Department of Culture.
In its second edition, the training is developed in partnership with the Cultural Production Engineering course at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and aims to reflect the field of cultural production, with an emphasis on the development, production and management of cultural projects, biosafety for events, social innovation and territorial development.
The Cultural Production Engineering course: How management practices can impact territories is part of the Cultures of Peripheries Project, created by the Observatório de Favelas. In addition to the training, the project includes the development of research focused on mapping and the performance of institutions and initiatives, production and cultural practices in the West and North zones of Rio and their challenges and perspectives for action in the post-pandemic context.
– We are very happy to be holding Culturas de Periferia this year. The project has a research and training front that proposes a reflection on cultural management in Brazil today, starting from the perspective of favelas and peripheries and their subjects. In the first edition of the course, last year, we received more than 400 applications. So, the expectation to do it again, now mostly in person, is great – celebrated Isabela Souza, director of Observatório de Favelas.
The course classes will be held in a hybrid format. In-person classes will be held at Arena Carioca Dicró, in Penha, on Mondays, and virtual classes will be held on Saturdays.
The production of a digital publication with the systematization of the study data and the actions undertaken by the project is also planned, which will be made available for download free of charge.
Culturas de Periferia is presented by the Ministry of Tourism. It is sponsored by IBM, Instituto Cultural Vale, Itaú Unibanco, Cyrela, Colgate, MR Mineração and Smart Fit, through the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture. Partnership: Bachelor's Degree in Production Engineering, with an emphasis on Culture, at UNIRIO. Institutional Support: Itaú Cultural. Realization: Observatório de Favelas and Special Secretariat of Culture, Ministry of Tourism, Federal Government.

About the Favela Observatory .
The Observatório de Favelas, created in 2001, is a civil society organization based in the Maré Favela Complex, but with nationwide operations. It is dedicated to producing knowledge and methodologies aimed at influencing public policies for favelas and promoting the right to the city. Founded by researchers and professionals from popular spaces, its mission is to build experiences that contribute to overcoming inequalities and strengthening democracy by affirming favelas and peripheral areas as territories of power and rights. It currently has ongoing projects divided into five areas: Art and Territory, Communication, Right to Life and Public Security, Education and Urban Policies. Many of these projects are in partnership with universities and local, national and international organizations.
