YunTech’s social inclusion goal is to create a harmonious, diverse, and sustainable campus by cultivating humanistic care, accumulating applicationoriented energy, and exerting social and global influence. The goal is to bring together people with various skills and backgrounds to learn from one another’s similarities and differences, break down barriers, respect and accept one another, and share the rights and responsibilities of society. We look forward to building a caring society with multiculturalism, educational care, creative vitality, and environmental sustainability so that every inclusive experience and practice can bring benefit and change. Several strategies are promoted to achieve this social vision:

Basic General Education Curriculum Innovation Plan designed to promote multicultural and humanistic qualities for students

We have continued to hold general education teacher improvement conferences to strengthen teaching methods and course contents for teachers. The goal is for teachers to learn interdisciplinary knowledge and pass it on to students, change compulsory courses to elective courses each year, and loosen the category restrictions so students can take the courses freely. The general education course combines USR, PBL, and microtraining practical courses while bringing together the strengths of the Design Thinking and information literacy teacher communities to provide a framework for future academic interest exploration in the form of special topics. The goal is to improve the student’s ability to explore independently and develop an interest in resolving problems.

Promote student service-learning courses and implement the spirit of educational care and life-long learning

All freshmen and transfer students in YunTech Bachelor’s Program (Day Division) must take service-learning courses to realize the purpose of service-learning popularization. Curriculum planning is carried out according to four stages of service learning: preparation, service, reflection, and celebration. The content of service learning is diversified and includes campus environment cleanup assistance, administrative assistance, and various activity support. The goal is to promote community service and community organization service learning to give students more choices in establishing a good relationship with the community and contributing to society.

Effective implementation of moral education courses with remarkable results

YunTech has combined moral education, life education, and livelihood education by making moral education the foundation and core of the general education curriculum. Our vision is holistic education. The goal is to integrate the teaching ideas and exchange experiences through the teacher community to enhance the understanding of holistic education curriculum and apply it to teaching. The number and scale of events held during the 2019 and 2020 academic years are smaller than those organized during the 2018 academic year due to the epidemic prevention policies, and the overall number of participants has decreased.

Promoting social inclusion and local resilience

The Center for Sustainable Development & Social Practice Carries out school-wide support work such as matching individual projects; building a USR-HUB community; and providing knowledge, resources, and teaching tools. The goal is to lay a solid foundation for key features and resource integration in the school, encourage aspiring teachers to form teams to participate in the USR project by soliciting applications, provide project implementation funds and school support measures, and nurture the USR Hub team’s prototype. It also incorporates local issues into courses, workshops, and other teaching practices.

YunTech has formed a seed team to recruit teachers and students to take part in actions aimed at local resilience, talent cultivation, local incubation, and international collaboration. YunTech regards the team as the USR-HUB. The goal is to improve the USR support system through the knowledge platform and use practical paradigm transfer experience and digital learning to exert the power of empirical research. We also plan to establish a quality assurance system to conduct rolling revisions on the USR promotion policy.
