17.4.3)Education for SDGs in the wider community

In 2020, a total of 160 courses was introduced to the community to participate in the diversified community activities. Among them, the course of "Professional Knowledge Service Learning" combined the diversified nature of "curriculum" and "service" to perform real tasks within the community field, while encouraging students to apply what they have learned, enhancing self-reflection ability, appreciating diverse differences, understanding social issues and cultivating civic abilities. Each department has at least one professional knowledge and ability service-learning course every academic year. In 2020, the professional knowledge and ability course will invest NT$6.57 million (including fundraising from outside units). There are 84 college courses and 15 research institutes, which are opened by 74 teaching faculties with 3,445 students enrolled in courses. Teaching faculties of various professions lead students to utilize their majors, participate in community service, and jointly contribute to community development. For instance, students of the Department of Architecture enter the old streets and utilized the architectural profession and creativity to revitalize the abandoned space, and assist in the development of the freshwater local university-based curriculum; in addition, in 2020, TKU’s instructors will lead 76 students to participate in community affairs, including public services, environmental protection, care for the disadvantaged, cultural preservation, and diversity learning.
