The instructor has long-term working relationship with local and international nonprofit organizations in Taiwan. It is known that essential INGOs and foundations are keen in working with our students who can advance their international development. Thus, this course is designed to be taught in English.

This course is designed to advance students’ understanding of emerging social problems from both the global and local perspectives by working with nonprofits organizations in the local communities in Taipei. In particular, it examines issues unique to the process of glocalization, including globalization and interdependence, social justice and equity, identity and diversity, sustainable development, and peace and conflict. Students will learn both the theories and practical techniques required for an effective leadership in making impacts locally, yet think globally through selected cases and community projects.

The project provides an innovative learning model for students to utilize multimedia tools to promote social values created by nonprofit organizations or social enterprises. It gives both domestic and international students the opportunity to implement their glocal skills and tools and produce a multimedia project that champions a newly founded nonprofit or social enterprise in Taipei. The final projects will be featured in Youtube and Facebook. Through working with the partner organizations, students also have the opportunity to recognize challenges reuslts from the glocalization process, understand the social impacts of their actions, communicate their knowledge through creative forms, and improve their leadership and teamwork skills.
