Abstract

  • To coordinate experiential learning

  • To plan a credit-bearing internship programme as part of a new stream in socially engaged art practices.
The Fine Arts Department would tentatively plan to launch a new stream in socially engaged art practices in September 2019. In order to give this programme at least one of several hands-on components, we would like to explore the possibility of students’ placement in Hong Kong art-related organizations dealing with social engagement (Blue House, Rooftop Institute, Magic Carpet, etc.). This new stream, and this particular credit-bearing internship would develop along the lines of the Global Citizenship and Social Enterprisingness theme.
