8th Academic Forum
Recently, increasing interest has been shown in participatory arts programmes which are low-cost, flexible and responsive to local needs. This use of the arts and cultural activity coincides with a shift in emphasis in regeneration strategies towards seeing local people as the principal asset through which renewal can be achieved.
Arts and cultural activity programmes have been shown to contribute to enhancing social cohesion and local image; reducing offending behaviour; building private/public sector partnerships; promoting interest in the local environment; developing self- confidence; enhancing organisational capacity; supporting independence and exploring visions of the future.
The 8th Academic Forum on solving social problem through art and cultura activities is being co-organized by the Urban Research Plaza of Osaka City University in association with Faculty of Cultural Sciences at Universitas Gadjah Mada and Indonesia Institute of the Art (ISI). The object of this forum is to promote research and intellectual studies in urban issues. This annual forum seeks to encourage creative and intellectual thinking and the themes that have been selected for the forum are thus issues that are crucial today to the field of urban culture and social problem solving.
