Collaboration with NGOs for SDGs

■Student volunteering programmes:
NYCU runs structured, faculty-mentored international volunteering with NGOs through the “Southeast Asia International Volunteer Team BAT“ and the “India International Volunteer Team Jullay.” Student teams deliver education, health and community projects — e.g., remote design/ environmental education workshops with Cambodian youth, and long-running education support at Jamyang School in Ladakh —advancing SDG 1, SDG 4, SDG 10 across Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India. These teams are embedded in the Service-Learning curriculum with pre-departure training and annual summer fieldwork.
■Research programmes:
NYCU’s USR team and the TSMC Charity Foundation co-hosted “Youth–Senior AI Learning: Care Without Ceasing” at the Xiangshan Community Development Association. Working with 20 older adults from Dazhuang and 22 pupils from Dazhuang Elementary School, NYCU students designed Edge-AI rhythm-and-movement activities to spark cross-generational interactions. In partnership with the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the program integrated digital tools into health screening and monitoring. Corporate volunteers also joined to broaden the community support network.
■Development of educational resources:
NYCU’s ewant Open Education Platform (est. 2013) is Taiwan’s first and most prominent MOOC platform, sharing higher education courses openly and hosting a High School Talent Cultivation space for partner schools and teacher upskilling. NYCU is also listed as a Taiwan member of the Open Education Consortium / Open Education Global, expanding open educational resources internationally.
