________
Since 2014, the Master of Arts in Cultural Management (MACM) programme has organized annual community arts forums and festivals, covering a range of topics relevant to different communities. From 2021 onwards, the MACM programme will embark on a 4-year Arts and Social Change project with the intention to develop a framework to evaluate the impacts of arts for seniors. This year’s forum seeks to explore the latest trends and developments on how the social impacts of arts are being evaluated across different community-based projects. Issues on social aspects of ageing will also be covered. The panel of presenters are part of a newly established Arts and Social Change Network, most of whom have carried out extensive research on or organized actual community arts projects.
