AUA-UM Programme: Appreciating Diverse Communities Through Art– Calls for Nomination
The last AUA Student Mobility Programme in 2019-2020, the AUA-UM Programme of “Appreciating Diverse Communities Through Art”, is now calling for nomination. This one-week program will give participants a unique insight into the different facets of arts and culture in Malaysia. Participants will immerse themselves in the fascinating multi-ethnic community of a country where people of different religions and races live in a peaceful and harmonious society, which has, in turn, influenced its art, culture, and cuisine.
The knowledge and understanding gained during this programme would be of interest in the current, complex new era of globalisation, through an appreciation of the different arts and cultures of the diverse communities around the globe. Some of the highlights of the programme include a lantern-making workshop, a batik painting workshop, a Rangoli designing workshop, and a field trip to Melaka, a historical city, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Focusing on the performing and visual arts, this programme includes informative classes by academic experts, experimental workshops, fun-filled traditional sports and study tours.
