2020 International Culture Summer Camp

Volunteer Recruitment Information

1. Organizer: Service Learning Section, Office of Student Affairs, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology

2. Objective: 

Mailiao Township, located in the northwest angle of the Yunlin County. It is a remote area situated near the shore. Because the region is sparsely populated, the government wanted to take care of the children live in the remote area so they established Mailiao Elementary School Haifong District which is also the target school. There are only 39 students in total. Students’ parents mainly make a living by working in the industry of agriculture and fishery and thus 50% of them are underprivileged family. Since the township is far from downtown and the inefficient transportation, the school is characterized by limited learning resources and learning opportunities for pupils. In order to let more pupils have the chance to experience the foreign culture, we want to invite the children from underprivileged family to let the resources can be used effectively.

One of the basic abilities from Taiwan Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines is cultural awareness and global perspective. That is, students have to learn and respect various social and cultural groups. It’s important to learn to understand and appreciate historical culture of our country and the world. In this way, they will recognize that the world is a global village and cultivate a global perspective of mutual trust and mutual assistance. Therefore, the International Culture Summer camp will recruit international volunteers and Taiwanese volunteers to assist local children in Mailiao Township to learn about local culture and beauty. Through the summer camp, we hope to motivate these children to develop more interest in foreign languages and a global perspective. Volunteers will also develop a new perspective of mutual trust and mutual assistance.
