Street Experience for Civic Engagement
The goal for this workshop is to engage visitors in the oldest street market (it has a rich political and historical context) in Tainan City, Taiwan. During the three day workshop, your group will design ways (e.g., games, performance...) to attract people on the street. On the 18th, your group will present photos and movie clips to show how (and why) you did it.
