Arts Enrichment, Scholarships & Outreach Programme (AESOP)

AESOP is an enrichment programme for HSP students and Arts faculty students. AESOP aims to develop a multi-disciplinary enrichment programme to complement existing learning experiences for humanities subjects. Dive into the study of Arts and Humanities, where Literature, Economics, History, Geography and more, converge to illuminate the intricate tapestry of the human experience, shaping cultures, histories, and societies. AESOP will create more opportunities for the development of humanities talent, to build their competencies and portfolio, and to foster a common VJC Arts Faculty identity in the process.

The Arts Enrichment Programme is open to all students in the Arts Stream. In this multidisciplinary study, every question is a journey into the heart of what makes us human. Authentic learning experiences abound for those who choose to participate with enthusiasm. Through AESOP initiatives, an Arts Faculty Student will be:

Self directed
Have an independent appreciation towards the Arts
Be able to cultivate a lifelong engagement with the Arts

Enrichment opportunities for Arts faculty students include:

Cohort Project (e.g. oral history, placemaking etc)
Learning Journeys (e.g. Waterloo Street, Art in Transit etc.)
Theatre Appreciation (e.g. Hotel, Dear Evan Hansen)
Humanities Symposiums (led by VJC Arts Students)
Fireside Chats with established Arts Alumni
Overseas Enrichment Programme (e.g. Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan)

MOE HSP Scholars also get more developmental opportunities to:

Lead cohort projects
