Programme Description:
This course is designed to teach students creative leadership in Asia. The course has two major focuses. The first focus is about creative cities. The other one is about traditional cultures, community building, and creative industries. The first week of the course will be spent at The University of Hong Kong. The lectures of this week will focus on creative cities building in Asia. Students will be taught about some theoretical and practical knowledge about how to plan creative cities. Students then are taken to Taipei in the second week of the course. They will be taught about how traditional cultures can be used and reused to develop local-based creative industries and community building. The course will be ended with a group presentation on students’ project.
