Service-Learning Model of Cultural and Creative Talent Cultivation for the Bamboo Industry Cluster

Abstract

Action research was introduced in the design of learning services. Cultural and creative talent cultivation activities were completed to review the value of local cultural crafts, such as bamboo weaving, in a town. Young students participated in the creation of bamboo weaving crafts to investigate the threshold and difficulties of learning the art, and to build a feasible model of talent cultivation for traditional industries. Based on observation, learning, exhibition, and action reflection, this study established a feasible model in understanding the difficulties and opportunities of the cultivation of new cultural and creative talents. Moreover, the study built a sustainable concept framework for the cultivation of human resources of local industries. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
