The goal of the plan is to make students understand the issues about management of cultural heritage.It is going to be divided into three parts which will be implemented by structuring the knowledge of cultural heritage management, visiting the location to observe management in Taichung and doing a project of conservation.The course is beginning with how to analyze and write a plan and the topic is ‘Crowdfunding for Cultural Heritage’. Students need to choose a case which is about corporate funds, online fundraising platforms to study and introduce it in class so that they can find more information on funding. In addition, there are two lectures about the conservation of cultural landscapes and private cultural heritage that is to make students have more opinions to deal with the problem of cultural heritage conservation. Following, by visiting the cultural heritages in Taichung and observing the management there, students may figure out whether the management really demonstrates the value of cultural heritages. Finally, there are 9 conservation plans output and the students combine the thesis with practical operation to write them. They also present the project in class and the issues are about team organization, financial situation, tourism promotion and education.
In summary, in order to have a chance to practically do a conservation plan, there is a system of course to figure out how to propose a plan to operate a cultural heritage. With the first assignment, the students can figure out some ways to fund cultural heritage to do conservation. The visiting in Taichung and the lecture make students know more cases of conservation and management in Taiwan. And then, the presentation of the conservation plan is an important part of this course because it is a consequence of what we learned in class. The course achieves the target to promote ideas about cultural heritage conservation and management that we may see more new power infused in the field of cultural heritage preservation.
