Subject Overview:

This subject will focus on developing the student's individual practice within a CCD context and in relationship to cross-sectoral partnership opportunity; incorporating community development, community education, health, and urban design sectors.

Case studies will be presented, which reflect the arts as cross-sectoral projects, indicating the diversity of partnership agendas. Students will be exposed to CCD projects as processes for social change; the arts in lifelong learning; the arts in urban development, art for place making and place marketing, the arts and wellbeing, and the arts responding to cultural diversity.

Studies will also examine strategies for negotiating partnerships; establishing collaborative approaches, team building across disciplines, and 'niche' market positioning for CCD project development.

Projects will be critically analysed and evaluated to enable students to gain a working knowledge of CCD project management approaches; facilitation and negotiation models; and integration strategies which can align the student's own particular artistic vision, with the key agendas of particular sectors.
