Concept of the Course

Course Introduction

Unique time and space of humanity: Located in Tainan, National Cheng Kung University is located in a city that has been situated at an important geographical location of time and space for Taiwan to enter the world trading system. It is also a habitat rich in prehistoric and aboriginal social activities. It owns unparalleled history and multi-cultural tradition.
The design and planning of the core curriculum of cross-college general education: combining the historical formation of Tainan (Fu-Cheng: Capital City) with the pulse and vision of contemporary urban development of Tainan and realize the linkage between school teaching and social pulses.
In addition to training students to acquire professional knowledge during their college years, they are encouraged to take courses in cross-domain integration of social practice and local humanities. While they walk out of the campus and cross barriers, they will see how the course is closely combined with the pulse of the contemporary city they live in and study. The course tries to cultivate students' interdisciplinary social practices through humanistic care.

From the local perspective of Tainan, we seek to combine environmental changes and the formation of diverse ethnic groups and cultures, exploring Tainan's historical context and local knowledge.
In the spirit of general education, we will promote the integration of interdisciplinary professional knowledge, set a new paradigm for holistic teaching, and deepen our efforts in the education of Taiwan and march out from there.
From the actual exploring activities, the course internalizes students' local knowledge and humanities, as well as social literacy, to cultivate students' local care and global perspective.
