Brief Description	The module provides the opportunity for students to analyse the external planning and policy frameworks within which music and cultural events provision occurs. During the module students will examine the ways in which music and cultural events are influenced by a range of different planning and policy objectives that operate at an international, national and local context.
Indicative Syllabus	This module builds on the knowledge and understanding of music and cultural events gained in EVM121. Students will utilise project work, developing a bid for a music and cultural event, in order to analyse political, legal, economic, social and environmental issues in relation to the planning of music and cultural events and the policies of a range of stakeholders. The module will, therefore, explore the various stakeholders that have the capacity to influence music and cultural events and how this has an impact on the bidding and developing of events and their marketing to target audiences.
