Bulaobulao Aboriginal Village:

The Root Vocational School
"Bulaubulau" originates from the Atayal language, meaning to wander or stroll. When travelers step
into Hanxi Lane and enter the Bulaubulao Aboriginal Village in Yilan, they are surrounded by the
essence of the tribe – ecology, vitality, productivity, life, and survival. The tribe's dedication to
environmental protection, tribal operations, and talent cultivation over the past 20 years is also evident.
This place, which follows the principle of tribal sustainability, has become a demonstration base for
experiencing the ecology and culture of Taiwan's indigenous people. Read more.
The Alliance Cultural Foundation:
Final Training before the 4th Hawaii Cultural Sustainability
Educational Tour
30th April, ACF held the final training session for the 4th Hawaii Cultural Sustainability Educational Tour
group. The plan, which had been interrupted for two years due to the pandemic, is set to embark on a 12-
day learning program on 8th May. 17 members of the group not only shared information about the visiting
units according to their respective groups but also practiced indigenous song and dance to express
gratitude to the units which they will visit.
Through a video review of the trainings conducted, and the support of behind-the-scenes donors and
volunteers, CEO Angela Tsai hopes that the members of the group will have more exchanges and
interactions with Hawaii during the visit. Chair Stanley Yan specially attended to introduce the origin of
this plan and reminded the members that going to Hawaii is not the goal but a means. Through 7 sessions
of training in a span of one year, and mutual learning after returning to Taiwan, they can connect with
each other and find the direction of the sustainable development of indigenous culture. The most
important purpose of this trip is to allow everyone to reflect on the right and wrong actions taken by
Hawaii in tourism development and cultural inheritance, as well as how missteps were reformed. The
integration of architecture and local aesthetics in Hawaii's past is a precious experience, and it is hoped
that everyone can broaden their horizons during this trip.
Paul Chiang Arts & Cultural Foundation:
Earth Pulsing: Nurturing Life Exhibition
Artist Paul Chiang has spent over the last decade of his life living by the sea, and the ocean has been
intimately tied to every stage of his creative journey.
Last year, the “Earth Pulsing: Nurturing Life Exhibition” held at the Asia University Museum of Modern
Art received high acclaim, and it has now moved to the National Museum of Marine Science and
Technology in Keelung since 21st April. Considering the different nature of the exhibition space, Chiang
created a new series of works titled "The Connection between the Ocean and Islands" to be exhibited. In
these 16 pieces, the blue and brown colours serve as the basis for abstract paintings that present the
mysterious and beautiful feelings that the ocean brings him. Chiang's adept and childlike painting
techniques create a floating and imaginative image of the sea.
The joint exhibition is divided into three areas – introduction to ecology, video recording, and visual arts.
The curatorial team hopes to touch upon a broader audience with diverse perspectives, reflecting on the
relationship between humans and nature.

7th graders' hiking and camping trip to Dulan Mountain
As part of the Outdoor Education Program, 47 seventh-grade students were led by 5 teachers on a two-day
hiking and camping excursion in Dulan Mountain from 23-23 April. They embarked on an
interdisciplinary learning journey through the geological history of Dulan Mountain, traditional culture of
the Amis and Bunun tribes, and the five senses experience of nature. The Outdoor Education Program is
not only a physical challenge but also a cultivation of non-disciplinary abilities, becoming carriers of
knowledge for other subjects through personal experience.
On the first day of the hike, students learned to identify native plants along the way, observed the
mountain's topography and wind direction to set up their tents, worked together to make dinner, and
undertook the "zero food waste, love the earth" mentality. On the second day, in addition to learning about
Dulan's local culture through visiting local shops, they also exchanged ideas with foreign friends living in
Dulan, learned about international cuisine, backpacker hostels, and the process of settling in Dulan. They
also visited support programs for promoting local culture, tribal tutoring classes, and local stores in the
area.

8th graders' 100-mile challenge crossing the Coastal Mountain Range
From 8-9 April, 50 8th grade students completed the 170-kilometer cycling challenge. Volunteers and
parents of students also joined the ride and provided supplies. The convoy departed from the school gate,
crossed the Huatung Valley, passed through the Yuli-Changbin Highway, and returned to the school along
the East Coast. In addition to training physical strength, endurance, and cycling skills, the teachers also
arranged for observations and learning of the local environment, resources, and industries along the way.
On the first night, the group stayed in a homestay and invited Mr. Lin Chin-Hsien, a representative of the
residents of Changbin Township, to share his experiences and challenges in serving the community. On
the second day, the convoy visited the Queen of Peace Church, where volunteer Ms. Kao Pao-Chen talked
about the history and footprint of the Societas Missionaria de Bethlehem and introduced the selfless
loving spirit of Rev. Dominik Steiner. This gave the teachers and students a deeper understanding of these
great clergymen. During the two-day challenge, the students gained more confidence in themselves,
strengthened their mental and inner stability.
