Introducción

The digital book “Master in Cultural Management. Interdisciplinary training for the cultural sector" is the first volume of the texts prepared for the Master's Degree in Cultural Management, online modality. It consists of three subjects that belong to the first semester: Culture, heritage and identity, Cultural policies and cultural legislation, and Degree Project I. Work coordinated by teachers who, from their teaching, research and educational management experiences, aim to professionally qualify artists, workers and cultural managers located throughout the Ecuadorian territory and at the regional level. It is an academic reference material for students that is added to other resources that teachers upload in the Virtual Cooperative Learning Environment (AVAC), which facilitates the teaching-learning processes of each of the subjects. The teaching authors, both internal and invited, have taught in the previous cohorts of the Master's in Cultural Management, an experience embodied in each of the sections that make up this work. These didactic resources become pioneers for the Masters in online modality of the Salesian Polytechnic University, they are inserted in the "University Classroom" Collection that the Abya Yala University Publishing House has designed expressly for these Postgraduate Programs.
