Lectures and supervisory tools help students to approach terminology issues, the variations of “Civilization” and “Culture” and the dimension of civilization times and structures too. Basic features of European or non-European cultures are presented and typical structures are discussed (e.g. women position) in order to enhance students' understanding about culture. Historical retrospective and the approach of contemporary cultural heritage content are studied, focusing on terminologies, values, methods and management models. In this context, case studies are organized and methods and models of tangible and intangible cultural heritage management are described. Subsequently, the role of international organizations in the protection, exploitation and finally, management of cultural heritage documents [UNESCO, ICA, ICOM, FLA] is described in this course. Ultimately, the possibilities of electronic and digital exploitation and management of the documents are mentioned.

The basic aim of the course is to examine the "culture" in terms of historical evolution, its content according to its characteristics and in relation to other human sciences. In addition, this course aims to create appropriate conditions for the approach of cultural management in an interdisciplinary and cooperative way.
