Distinta da literatura portuguesa embora com vínculos vitais a ela, a literatura de Goa de língua portuguesa parece fazer mais sentido se lida a partir do contacto com a produção em outras línguas da Índia, bem como como com outros espaços ex-coloniais portugueses na Ásia e na África oriental, como Macau ou Moçambique. Longe da ideia de literatura nacional, que se afirmou no espaço dito “lusófono”, o fenómeno pode dar-nos pistas para reequacionar a produção literária em língua portuguesa no seu todo, sem deixar de remeter para um conjunto de sentidos internos que importa apreciar e descobrir.

University of Saint Joseph – Faculty of Creative Industries organized a unique interactive session with two Hollywood animation gurus, Mr. Chris Hendersen and Mr. Jay Ahn, to share experience and tips on the Hollywood animation industry. This event was made possible with the support of the Macau Cultural Promotion Association, Association for Talent Development in the Creative and Cultural Industries of Macao and Macao Ethnic Minority Creative Cultural Association.

The event brought to USJ, Mr. Chris Henderson and Mr. Jay Ahn veteran Hollywood animation producers with a successful track record of producing and managing the likes of “Hunchback of Notre Dame II”, “The Nut Job” and many others.

The two producers emphasized the need for talent and training for the youth in understanding the process of animation and immerse oneself in the art of storytelling to increase the repertoire of stories to be told. Moreover, they stressed the role of partnerships with school and the industry in identifying opportunities for students and developing talent early on in their careers.  Mr. Jay Ahn also reflected the need for government support and a clear vision.  For example, South Korea invested in various hardware and studios in the development of the industry, which lends itself, not only in animation but gaming, VR and modeling applications.

Mr. Henderson also reiterated the fact that it was necessary to form an ecosystem for the sustainable development of talent and also attracting international talent and from his first impressions, Macau seems to have what it takes to attract international talent once the proper ecosystem has been created.

It is a privilege and honor to be able to have such an international lineup of Masters to share their experience and contribute to the advancement of Digital Cinema and 3D Animation education in Macau. USJ continues to inspire students and broaden horizons by providing unique opportunities through its networks to provide the best educational experience via its innovative and industry focused programs.

On October 15 and Nov 7, 2018, the Year 3 and Year 4 Students of Infant Visual Arts and Music Education, School of Education - University of Saint Joseph had opportunities to understand the learning needs and teaching strategies of young children with hearing impairment through the Macau Deaf Association (MDA): In order to promote social cohesion and as part of the inclusive education pedagogical awareness, Professor Carrie Ho held the two workshops for using sign language as a tool for children song learning. During the workshop, a deaf-mute teacher with a colleague of MDA shared the diversified services of the Association; the updated statistics of students with hearing impairment; the characteristics of sign language; and the learning needs of children with hearing impairment and related teaching strategies. Through hearing blockage game and sign language bingo, USJ’s students learnt some useful signs for the daily terms. The workshops completed successfully with our students signing two songs with lots of smiles and loving understanding of the needs of people with hearing impairment. Further collaborations between USJ and MDA will be developed to promote social cohesion and inclusive education excellence.

On October 16th, to further promote the local culture and costumes, the Public and International Relations Office took the Fall Semester International Exchange Students for dinner at a very popular restaurant in Coloane: Nga Tim Restaurant.

Students got the chance to try several popular Cantonese dishes, like crispy fried noodles and traditional fried rice, in an environment that is characterised by the combination of Eastern and Western cultures, as the square's main attraction is the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier, built in 1928.

After a greatly satisfying taste of the local cuisine, students enjoyed some popular children toys like "bang snaps" and "air bubbles", getting to know more about the local costumes of Macao.

The event finished with a trip to the nearby Tam Kung Temple, constructed in 1862.

The dinner was kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation.

Mr. Danny Wong, head of Public Education and Ms. Candy Chan, Head of Marketing at World Vision Macau shared the history of World Vision and its early beginnings in the poverty alleviation mission that began in the 1950s by its founder Dr. Bob Pierce.  The talk was attended by Prof. Alex Lobo Marques, Coordinator for the Bachelor of Business Administration - BBA and Prof. Douty Diakite, Coordinator of the Center for Social and Legal Studies, Emil Marques and Year 4 Government Studies Students.

The talk covered the current stay of poverty in the world and also some of the programmes and approaches taken by World Vision.  These programmes included Child Sponsorship Programme, Area Development Programme and famine alleviation.  In addition, students were engaged in comparing life of a youth in Macao and Malawi, Africa which hit home the disparities between rich and poor in this world.

World Vision has also developed over the years, various publications and field guides for those interested to take part in development of capacity building and community development programmes.  The students of USJ Building Communities Class benefited tremendously in the knowledge exchange and obtained first-hand information from the field on exactly how to make a difference in poverty-stricken communities through the words of the practitioner.

USJ School of Business continues to promote an entrepreneurial spirit in its students in the development of innovative learning experiences to foster socially responsible leaders of tomorrow.

ABOUT THE TALK

The experience in Portugal in Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) has been extensive with huge implications in public finances and political discussion. PPPs are also responsible for a significant increase in infrastructure development in Portugal in the 90s to this date. The experience in Portugal is a showcase for this rapid catching up in the infrastructure gap, but also a showcase of procurement and public contracting with dire implications in public finances. Portugal is also a great example in renegotiation of these contracts and adjustment to more fiscal responsibility. The public lecture will provide several cases of successful, and unsuccessful experiences in road building, healthcare management, and environment management.

The film based on a novel by Shusaku Endo and published in 1966 requires a lot of background knowledge of the history of Japan, the history of the Church in Japan, the Hidden Christians as well as of Shusako Endo in order to truly understand the rich meaning of both the novel and the movie.   More on the Speaker Dr. Ayako Fukushima
