Over the past two years, the Ministry of Education Youth Development Administration supported 18 undergraduate career planning assistance projects related to sustainable development practices, as part of the government work on the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
Among 18 subsidized projects was one organized by the Taipei City-based private Shin Hsin University. Environmental, social, and governance goals are integral to contemporary corporate enterprise strategy and the university offered a project in skills necessary to ESG social media managers.
Taipei City-headquartered private Shih Chien University implemented another project subsidized by the MOE YDA offering courses to upgrade used clothes and explore creation of zero waste design for the fashion industry.
A workshop on circular economy also demonstrated how environmental fashion could change industry chains and modes of consumption, the MOE added.
Chang Yu-yun, a graduate student from SCU Department of Fashion Design, said that through the workshop, students learned how to reuse and reshape old materials and gained deeper insight into sustainable aesthetics. (POC-E)
