The Shanghai Citizen Night School, which has been running for seven years, has recently become popular, and when the class opened this year, 650,000 people competed for 10,000 course places.
In fact, the phenomenon of public night schools has appeared in many places, taking Nanning, Guangxi as an example, since the end of last year, the Yongcheng City Citizen Art Night School has been offering free art courses to the public, and classes start on time every night, often full of seats. In some cities, a social circle based on night school has even been formed, where citizens with common hobbies meet to register for classes, learn Xi and communicate together, just like a "children's palace for adults".
Different from the night schools in the past, which focused on improving academic qualifications, the main courses of citizen night schools in various places focus on life, literature and art, and sports, and the main purpose of students' Xi is to relieve stress, cultivate sentiment and expand social circles. In other words, the popularity of citizen night schools is not unrelated to the growing diversified and personalized night culture and social needs of young people. And the citizens' night school itself is also becoming the city's night "living room".
After work, take a literary class, meet new friends, collide with new ideas, and the colorful night "aesthetic education" is not only a "life gas station" for individual citizens, but also a part of urban social life, and to a certain extent, it has promoted the further prosperity and development of "night culture" and "night economy".
At present, similar business in many places is undertaken by mass cultural institutions. In the process of promoting aesthetic education for all, the whole process of aesthetic education, and aesthetic education for all ages, many forces can participate in it, make good use of their own venues, and achieve it by purchasing services from professional institutions. For example, enterprises can provide various after-work aesthetic education courses for willing employees, and communities can also provide related services for interested residents. In this process, it is worth further exploring how to provide high-quality night aesthetic education services for more people according to local conditions by building a networked, digital, personalized and lifelong service system.
