International Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots Eco-center, Chang Jung Christian University
Nature or Ecology Education Center
Dr.Jane Goodall visited Chang Jung Christian University in 2014, we initiated the long-term cooperation plan of establishing the “International Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Eco-center” and planted a tree of hope at the site of the newly founded ecological center where the spirit of Jane Goodall can sprout and thrive with hope that the young people in Taiwan will create a better world.
The Eco-center takes the concept of the University’s Christian spirit as its main driving force for development. Based on the principle of holistic education, the Center follows the practice of the Universities development strategy, gradually expanding its international perspective and striving to provide sustainable education for everyone, while affirming the dignity and value of all life.
Eco-center's environmental education program aims at awareness, knowledge, environmental ethics, civic action skills, and civic action experience. The main characteristic of the program revolves around the International Roots & Shoots action and spirit. Based on learning experience and age differences, the program allows the student to obtain the appropriate concept. The eco-center expands and develops Taiwanese students' local experience into an international exchange…
The design concept of the program combines localization and the Roots & Shoots international action plan to develop the series ""Highlights of Paper Bricks"",""New Hope for Erren River"". and ""Water Magician"".
