In the spring semester of 2022, College Master Prof. Yang Liu initiated the creation of the Academy of Aesthetic Education, dedicated to cultivating students’ comprehensive development through new forms of art and aesthetics. The academy currently consists of four series: “Grand Beauty Forum,” “Grand Beauty Workshop,” “Grand Beauty Wonderland,” and “Grand Beauty Harmony.”
The “Grand Beauty Forum” fosters students’ seven competencies through a platform where staff and students share insights. It particularly enhances students’ responsible citizenship, aesthetic abilities, spiritual character, noble sentiments, and knowledge integration. On the other hand, the “Grand Beauty Workshop” is led by masters or experts in various artistic fields who, through practical methods, cultivate students, providing opportunities to apply the knowledge gained in the “Grand Beauty Forum” and develop in areas such as innovative thinking, cross-cultural practices, and global competitiveness. The “Grand Beauty Wonderland” aims to enhance the overall environment of the college and promote student participation in labor education, thereby cultivating students’ competency in “healthy living” and achieving the college’s goal of environment-oriented education. Lastly, the “Grand Beauty Harmony” involves a fusion of Eastern and Western musical traditions, spreading China’s outstanding traditional culture and virtues. It nurtures team creativity, serves society and the nation, and promotes cultural exchange between China and the world.
在2022年春季學期末，書院院長楊柳教授組織創設了美育學堂，致力於以藝術與審美的新形式培養學生全面發展。美育學堂現有四個系列：《大美講壇》、《大美工坊》、《大美仙境》及《大美稀音》。《大美講壇》以師生同台會講的形式培養學生的七項勝任力，尤其使學生在公民責任心、審美能力、精神品格、高尚情操和知識整合等方面獲得提升；而《大美工坊》則由各藝術領域的大師或名家以實踐的方式培養學生，讓學生有機會應用在《大美講壇》所學到的知識，在創新思維、跨文化實踐與體驗和全球競爭力等方面獲得長足的發展；《大美仙境》透過改善書院整體環境和推動學生參與勞動教育，從而培養學生的”健康生活”勝任力，達至環境育人的書院目標；《大美稀音》中西合壁樂團傳揚中國優秀傳統文化和美德，培養團隊創意和文化參與意識，服務社會與國家，促進中外文化互鑒與交流。
