The summer camp, which started on July 17, was designed by 15 TNUA Art Service counselors hoping to show the beauty of art to the students through various aspects of art.

TNUA Art Service is committed to serving society through art.

TNUA Art Service has established a strong friendship with the Lalauya community since 2008. Over the years, counselors from the team have visited the community frequently, arranging activities for its students during the weekends or summer break.

A total of 50 students from the Alishan Elementary and Junior High School took part in this year’s summer camp.

The summer camp provided courses of music, visual art, body language, cross-disciplinary activities, and life education. It was meant to let the students experience cross-disciplinary learning in art and at the same time inspire them to imagine their future possibilities.

The Lalauya community, located in a remote area in Alishan, will have to send their children to urban areas for senior high school education. The TNUA Art Service counselors were there to share their learning experiences.

On July 21, there was a gathering to let the students share what they had learned during the summer camp. They sang, danced and told stories. They also showcased their handmade bookmarks.

At the beginning of the gathering, the principal of the Alishan Elementary and Junior High School, Chiu Hsien-Hsuan, expressed gratitude to the TNUA Art Service team, saying the summer camp allowed the students to redefine their learning and also gifted the community with beautiful graffiti painted by the camp participants on the walls along the community’s main road.
