With a variety of learning paths in college, build the college as “good neighbors for the common good” along with local communities
The National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) engages in social responsibility with the way of taking the local lives as the subject to accompany learners/participants to actively explore local needs and to exercise innovative methods and practical actions to share the common good with local communities in the ways of companionship and immersive learning. With the efforts of curriculum transformation in college, we activate students to think independently about what we can do in the environment of natural and cultural landscapes in the countryside. We create the arena for college students to explore and express their identities and with the natural and cultural environment in Hualien, to create future talents different from the elite class.
To promote innovative reform of rural education systems with POCE
The geography of Hualien County is long and narrow in the north and south. Many schools situate remotely from the urban areas and have lacked of convenient transportation service. In these remote areas, children have little interaction with the mainstream society and, usually there are issues of population aging and a high proportion of grandparents parenting and therefore these areas have issues of poor educational resources and the high proportion of substitute teachers compared with the urban areas. The NDHU initiated the Project of Campus Educator (POCE) in June 2020. We invite the outstanding teacher Wen, Mei-yu to perform the way she teaches for teachers in the primary schools of Hualien. We invite 58 teachers and nearly one hundred children from the primary schools and 17 teacher training students at NDHU to participate in this project. Combined with the design of teaching activities and teaching aids, Campus Educator Wen, Mei-yu demonstrates how she gradually increases students' interests in reading. "Students can have achievements with their own paces although having different starting points", Wen said.
POCE creates an interdisciplinary and multicultural co-learning space for teachers, which allows current teachers and teacher training students to immerse in the demonstration of Wen’ outstanding teaching. We also hope to take into practice “teaching as the core and students as the subjects” through joint preparation of courses and high-quality teaching. Our purpose is to cultivate them to build-up their own capacity and to improve the issues of uneven resources in rural areas.
To develop ecological accompany systems with multiple approaches of counseling
Combined with ecological therapy, art therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and food and agriculture education, our purpose is to transform Hualien’s natural resources and rural lifestyle into ecotherapy or green therapies, and create a network of community care.
We also cooperate with local hospitals and social welfare institutions to form a circulatory system of therapists’ education by combining professional courses with local resources and needs. For example, we carry out person-to-person work with disadvantaged children in the places like Wanrong, Fenglin, and Guangfu; we designed an art wall in the wards for terminal cancer patients with art and aesthetics as the therapy; we also develop the system of “chicken therapists” and “dog doctors” to assist physically and mentally disabled, the elderly and those with special needs through the interaction with animals to relieve the fear of loneliness, and rebuild the harmonious relationship between humans and creatures.
Just graduated from the Department of Counseling & Clinical Psychology, Zhu, Yue-ying and Gao, Peng have successfully established Alive Travel Company in August, which innovatively develop the "hospitality economy” and “respite tourism" based on taking care of the elderly, young children, the disadvantaged and the environment. They carried out the respite travel in October for families with Williams’ disease children combined the knowledge of counseling and the unique environment in Hualien and Taidong. They offer natural healing, parent-child horse riding healing, food healing, anxiety relief, parent-child massage, and other tours for giving families with rare diseases a different travel experience, relaxing their bodies and mind , and learning self-care.
To build up the model of community cooperative economy
Chickens freely forage in the yard and lay eggs are the common memories for many elders in their childhoods, which has become a new opportunity for economic autonomy. National Dong Hwa University, Tzu Chi University, and Sun Care Farm assisted the elder care and local industry incubation for Hongye community since 2019 with the use of animal welfare eggs. Students of NDHU helped the elders of Hongye community to clean eggs, pack eggs into boxes, and discuss the affairs of the cooperative. Students linked their knowledge with practices in daily labor and learned jointly how to initiate cooperatives and develop a community welfare cooperative economy, which creates a unique and heartwarming partnership.
The "Hongye Welfare Egg Production Cooperative" was formally established in May 2020. With animal welfare standards and food sanitary management, chickens play the diversified roles respectively as "accompany chickens" that heal the souls of the elders, "cultivation chickens" that meet EU animal welfare and breeding standards, and "golden hens" of local micro-entrepreneurship. It provides consumers with the choice of sustainable consumption, which is the first example in Taiwan.
Universities are good neighbors of the community, and students are good neighbors of the future society. NDHU hopes to incubate resilient agents and act as a think tank for regional sustainable developments, and practice a fair and sustainable lifestyle. Through participatory courses based on social practices and community collaboration, "Good Neighbors for the Common Good" project breaks through various boundaries of learning, cultivates the partnership with communities, and deepens the influences of our social practices. We promote the trinity learning community with teachers, students, and communities through allowing learning to cross different colleges, different departments ,and different educational stages. By practicing this way, faculty and students keep engaging minor changes in daily lives and then make structural and ecological changes. We hope to transform the values of fairness and sustainability into a lifestyle that everyone can implement in daily life at any time and create the lives of mutual prosperity with the locals in East Rift Valley.
