As Vietnam’s creative industries evolve through digitalisation, social innovation, cultural heritage, entrepreneurship and global connectivity, this panel focuses on models of learning that engage with communities, businesses and social organisations through experiential learning and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL).
Speakers will discuss ways of incorporating real-world projects into educational programmes, fostering collaboration between educational institutions and industry partners, and share their experiences in building partnerships that create value for both learners and communities. Through presentations and audience interaction, the discussion explores new approaches to developing creative education that is flexible, grounded in practice and responsive to the needs of society.
