New Danhai Town, located in Northern Taiwan, is a place that flourishes with history, diversity and culture. The beautiful skyline is a perfect match for the ecosystem that is abundant with life. The unique environment of New Danhai Town is certain to make it stick out as it develops over the next 10 years. In the morning on December 12th, Tamkang University’s College of Education held a conference titled, “The Future of Education and Imagination- Construction of Danhai’s International City of Education” in the Chueh-sheng International Conference Hall.

Supervisor of the New Town Construction Division, Chi-yuan Hung, was invited to describe the plan for New Danhai Town with Chief Secretary of New Taipei City Education, Tengjiao Lin, Chairperson of New Taipei City Elementary Education, Rong-hui Zhang, Chief Secretary of New Taipei City District, Ye-wei Cai, Tamkang University’s Dean of the Office of General Affairs, Shiaw-shyan Luo, Director of the Department of Architecture, Jui-mao Huang, President of Tamkang Times, Yu-pei Ma and Dean of the College of Education, Dian-fu Chang.

President Chia-I Chang began the discussion by stating, “Here at TKU we have always strived to give students a complete education which includes culture, social services, civil service education, extension of professional skills and internships. Our student organizations have extended services to help with the development of elementary schools in the Danhai region. Through summer camps and other academic programs, we have helped develop a more internationally-oriented education that carries key concepts for future development. Today I’m pleased to see a plan from the College of Education that will create a brand new international education system for the New Danhai School District. This beautiful vision gain the attention of the entire world.”

You-yi Hou expressed, “In terms of politics, economy or culture, Danhai plays a major role in Taiwanese civilization. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to pull together our resources to realize the concept of the Danhai International City of Education. The New Taipei City Government will promote curriculum and academic development, professional development, international exchange and internationally-oriented education as the core of this educational system. This is certain to give our youth the competitive capabilities needed for the future.”

Dian-fu Chang also shared his ideas, “I believe that we should combine the two aspects of Taiwanese culture and internationalism for the Danhai International City of Education. Let the students have an appreciation of their own culture while gaining confidence in their international capabilities. This will ensure the promotion of the history and beauty of Taiwan for the whole world to witness.” The teachers of the Danhai Elementary School District discussed their ideas enthusiastically as they covered all of the possibilities of the new project. With the collaboration of so many excellent ideas, it is safe to say that New Danhai Town will soon be a well-known historic landmark as well as a place of educational prosperity.
