Students from the University of Macau’s (UM) Department of Communication recently held a new book launch for their graduation project titled “City Walk in Macau (Communicator 2024)”, through which the students aim to challenge “traditional learning approaches and mindsets, thus promoting strolling as an effective way to study the city of Macau and drawing attention to the act of walking in cities”, according to the university.
The “City Walk in Macau” consists of 20 articles divided into five sections: Livelihood, Intoxication, Roots, Culture and Corner. Through interviews with citizens, experts and scholars, as well as in-depth readings and analysis of old newspapers and historical documents, the students present articles that unveil stories about the industry, entertainment industry, Southeast Asian Chinese community, culture and Ka Ho village in Macau, all through the lens of five distinct walking paths.
The book will be distributed to different libraries across Macau from February. The electronic version can be viewed online (only available in Chinese).
Communicator is the graduation project for fourth-year students of the Department of Communication in the UM’s Faculty of Social Sciences. Since its inception in 2001, a total of 22 issues have been published – exploring various social and cultural issues in Macau and reflecting students’ observations, understanding and affection for the city.
