Xiushan Community is located in the center of Taichung, near the foothills across the mountain and overlooking the Taiwan Strait. Sixty percent of its residents engage in agriculture, planting wheat, rice, red barley, and other grains. The presence of the Precision Science Park six years ago encouraged the community to seek the return of its young population. However, the majority of the elderly lack vitality and creativity, which contributes to a lack of motivation to create a vibrant community. The community hopes that international volunteers will encourage residents to engage in community affairs and introduce diverse cultural experiences.Aims:1.Encourage international volunteers to create their own lion head and painting, which is a significant part of the community s folk culture. By producing traditional lion head and painting, Xiushan hopes to become a hub for folk arts and crafts outside of the village.2.Partner with the Community Service Center for the Elderly to lead weekly health promotion activities for the elderly, led by international volunteers. This program aims to encourage the elders to be more active and engage in their senior life.3.Through international volunteers, Xiushan aims to foster young people s interest in community activities and introduce the community s unique characteristics to the volunteers while encouraging them to participate in community activities.

Wuqi District is a plain situated between the Dajia and Dadut rivers, with Qingshui District to the north, Shalu District to the east, Longjing District to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the west. The current coastline is formed by Taichung Port, and as a coastal town, its history is closely tied to the prosperity of the harbor. Formerly known as Bamboo Raft Cave and Wuqi Port, Wuqi is located to the west of Qingshui Mountain, in Qingshui District, and is also referred to as Aoxin. According to regional scholars, the Chinese Phoenix does not live without the Phoenix Tree, nor consume without holy spring water and bamboo, which led to the name Wuqi. When visiting Wuqi and speaking with locals, visitors can hear its Taiwanese pronunciation, which is similar to Wuqi. After the merger of Taichung County and City into a single municipality on December 25, 2010, Wuqi Town was reorganized into Wuqi District. Although the administrative area is not extensive, it possesses significant cultural tourism potential due to its abundant cultural properties, including municipal historic sites, historic buildings, and municipal folk culture. There are numerous prosperous years and temples throughout the district, reflecting the piety and expectations of Wuqi s ancestors. During the northeast monsoon season, visitors can witness the mullet migration, and there are various seafood restaurants where people can savor local delicacies and experience the living culture of this land.Aims:The purpose of this event is to revitalize and repurpose old buildings in Wuqi District, Taichung City, such as Tuencuo, street houses in Wuqi Old Street, and wooden structures. Participants will learn about the meaning of community building and how to assist local communities in carrying out public works. This event will also allow participants to experience local customs and traditional cultural festivals in Wuqi and learn about the district s historical evolution and local traditional culture.

Chung Yuan Christian UniversityZhongli District in Taoyuan City was originally settled by the Hakka people. The valley formed by a stream was called Li in the Hakka language, and the location surrounded by Laojie River and Xinjie River was named Jianzai . During the Japanese colonial period, the area was renamed Zhongli Street , which became the main road connecting the north and south.The area near the Laojie River(32769;34903;28330;) is known as the Laojie District , and it is home to Japanese-style buildings, century-old shops, Hakka culture, and the Laojie River which has greatly influenced the local way of life. Unfortunately, with the passing of time, many local youths and immigrants are no longer familiar with the historical context of this area. In order to preserve this unique cultural heritage, we hope to raise awareness and interest in the history of Zhongli Laojie District and achieve the goal of cultural preservation.Host Organization Chung Yuan Christian University(20013;21407;22823;23416;) is built upon the principles of Christian love for the world.

This project was later renamed the Service Learning Center in March 2008, with the purpose of promoting service-learning courses and projects in a systematic and ongoing manner. The Center also encourages our students to participate in social services, fulfill their civic responsibilities, and develop their core competencies for future employment.In 2019, we expanded our efforts by taking over the Taolien Youth Volunteer Service Center from the Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education.
