World Creativity Summit
Hong Kong, July 23rd – 25th 2007
Organised by the World Alliance for Arts Education in partnership with the Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture, hosted by the IDEA 2007 World Congress and sponsored by the Home Affairs Bureau, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
introduction
UNESCO held its first World Congress on Arts Education in Lisbon in March 2006. A key element of that Congress was the announcement of a Joint Declaration between the International Drama/Theatre and Education Association (IDEA), the International Society for Music Education (ISME), and the International Society for Education through the Art (InSEA) to work together and to launch the World Alliance for Arts Education (WAAE). The Joint Declaration included the statements:
We have united to define an integrated strategy that responds to a critical moment in human history: social fragmentation, a dominant global culture of competition, endemic urban and ecological violence, and the marginalization of key educational and cultural languages of transformation.
We believe that today’s knowledge-based, post-industrial societies require citizens with confident flexible intelligences, creative verbal and non-verbal communication skills, abilities to think critically and imaginatively, intercultural understandings and an empathetic commitment to cultural diversity.
For more than half a century, our associations have contributed significantly to the development of curricula and teaching approaches. We are now ready to respond proactively to the diverse social and cultural needs of our world…to collaborate with all governments, networks, institutions, communities and individuals who share our vision.
The WAAE proposes to bring together outstanding innovators from the realms of education, arts, science, politics and policy-making, trade, industry and journalism into intimate dialogue to design strategies and partnerships that will advocate and institutionalize the creative pedagogies of the 21st Century.
This Summit is the first of a series which will be hosted annually in conjunction with the world congress of one of the three founder-members of the WAAE, alternating between regions and hemispheres.
This first Summit will link with IDEA’s 2007 World Congress and coincide with the Government of Hong Kong SAR 5th Asian Cultural Cooperation Forum which gathers politicians, policy-makers and cultural producers from
across Asia to analyse the role of culture in strategic development. This convergence of the professional and the political around the charged question of ‘creativity’ – within a city that links the dynamism of China to every other continent in the world – provides the World Creativity Summit with a very significant potential.
aims & objectives
The guiding aims of the Summit are:
-
To design and launch a sustainable and effective annual World Creativity Summit;
-
To understand the relationships between human creativity and the cultivation of knowledge--based societies built upon the practice of sustainable development, global solidarity, cooperation and human rights.
-
To stimulate and develop strategic partnerships and international projects which influence how civil societies and their governments throughout the world understand and create such a future.
These aims are focused through four specific objectives:
-
To define how the development of human creativity, advocacy, industrial partnership and policy can relate to the implementation of arts education and creative pedagogies of transformation.
-
To define a Creativity Policy that can guide the development of an annual Summit and establish the principles for inclusive participation and collaboration;
-
To establish partnerships to fund a 5 year WAAE secretariat which can coordinate and sustain the development of an annual Summit and offer consultancy, advocacy and project support to its partners.
-
To establish a 5 year WAAE global research-as-advocacy project, designed and coordinated by the World Research Councils of IDEA, ISME and InSEA.
location
The Summit will open in the downtown Wanchai site of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, launching the open forums of the Asia Cultural Cooperation Forum. It will then move to Bethanie, the APA’s landmark heritage campus which houses its Film and Media School.
世界創意高峰會
2007年7月23至25日香港舉行
世界創意高峰會由「藝術教育世界聯盟」(“WAAE”)主辦，「國際戲劇/劇場與教育聯盟」(“IDEA”) 2007世界會議籌辦，「香港當代文化中心」作夥伴機構，並獲香港特區政府民政事務局贊助。
高峰會緣由
聯合國教育科學與文化組織(“UNESCO”)於2006年3月在里斯本舉行首個藝術教育世界會議。在是次會議中，三個機構 “國際戲劇/劇場與教育聯盟(IDEA)”、 國際音樂教育組織(“ISME”)及國際藝術教育學會(“InSEA”)發出聯合聲明宣佈合作展開藝術教育世界聯盟(WAAE)。
聯合聲明指出該三個機構一同就當下人類面臨的問題：社會斷裂、全球普遍的競爭文化、城市暴力及生態破壞以及主要的教育及文化語言被邊緣化提出整合的策略以作回應。藝術教育世界聯盟相信，在今天的後工業化知識型社會中，公民需要懂得靈活變通，具備富創意的語言及非語言溝通技巧、批判性思維和想象力，了解各國文化及由衷地支持文化多元化。半個世紀以來，藝術教育世界聯盟對於課程發展及教學方法可謂貢獻良多，並已作好準備，與擁有相同理念的機構及人士，積極回應各種社會文化的不同需要。
藝術教育世界聯盟建議匯集來自政府各界、社會各行業的優秀革新者，一起就制訂適合21 世紀的教學法及夥伴合作展開深入對話。
是次高峰會將會是三個創會會員機構輪流在南北半球不同地點配合每年一度舉行世界會議的一連串高峰會的首個會議。
是次首個高峰會將於2007年7月在香港舉行。高峰會串連國際戲劇/劇場與教育聯盟的2007年世界會議，又適逢香港特區政府第五屆亞洲文化合作論壇，該論壇集合來自亞洲的政治家、決策者及文化生產者一起分析文化在策略發展中扮演的角色。專業界和政界人士匯集交流圍繞微妙的「創意」問題，同時又身處在肩負向世界發揚中國精神的香港這個城市中，這樣的背景為世界創意高峰會帶來生氣和潛能。
目標與主旨
- 設計及開展一個可持續及有效的世界創意高峰會；
- 了解人文活動與培育知識型社會之間的關係，所指的知識型社會是以可持續發展、世界團結、合作和人權為依歸；
- 鼓勵及發展策略夥伴及國際項目，以影響世界各地政府及公民社會的學習認識及創造如此的未來。
以上目標有四個主旨
- 界定創意活動、倡導工作，與工業夥伴計劃及政策是如何影響實施藝術教育及創意教學法演變；
- 界定「創意政策」引導發展一年一度高峰會及訂立參與共融的原則；
- 建立夥伴關係資助成立一個為期五年的藝術教育世界聯盟秘書處協調發展一年一度的高峰會，並為夥伴機構提供顧問服務、倡議工作及項目支援；
- 建立一個藝術教育世界聯盟為期五年以研究為核心的倡議工作的全球項目，該項目由IDEA、ISME及InSEA的世界研究中心設計及統籌。
舉行地點
高峰會將於市內位於灣仔的香港演藝學院舉行，高峰會同時為亞洲文化合作論壇的公開論壇揭幕。高峰會隨後移師演藝學院電影電視學院的「古蹟校址」伯大尼歷史建築。伯大尼是個可容納150人的一流會議設施。
大會語言
高峰會的官方語言為英語﹐峰會期間將會派發中英對照的會議手冊。
