Integrating Campus Aesthetics × Social Care × Technical and Vocational Education × SDGs to Create the Most Healing Winter Learning Environment
To foster a warm year-end atmosphere and put into practice the spirit of “Sustainable Technical and Vocational Trailblazers” and the “Higher Education Sprout Project,” the Art Center of National Formosa University (NFU) will present the Christmas series of exhibitions and performances titled “I LOVE HU: Winter Healing Station – The Healing Season” from December 3 to December 12, 2025. Centered on aesthetic enrichment, campus sharing, cross-disciplinary application, technical and vocational education, and sustainability, the event features diverse formats including exhibitions, hands-on workshops, markets, and immersive explorations, creating a winter festival space that combines cultural experience with practical learning.
“Winter Healing Station” is not merely a series of arts and cultural events, but also embodies the philosophy of “accompanying students through end-of-semester stress and transforming the campus into a support system.” By connecting festivals, art, and sustainability, the event offers students moments of respite and renewal amid a busy academic term. The program is rich and diverse. From December 3 to December 10, activities include Christmas picnic student performances, a zero-waste market, sunset yoga, Christmas crystal creative workshops, and craft-making courses. These activities allow students to engage with material applications, aesthetic design, and sustainable craftsmanship within a gentle festive setting. By integrating these cross-disciplinary elements, the event showcases the diversity and creativity of campus life and further enhances the cultural vitality and creative expression of the technical and vocational education system.
On December 12, the Christmas series immersive exploration activities will also feature a variety of hands-on courses, bringing together teachers and students from junior and senior high schools across Changhua, Yunlin, and Chiayi; university departments; local communities; and industries. Highlights include autonomous vehicles from the Mechatronics Department of Chiayi Industrial High School and the Fengyu Unmanned Boat from a national representative team, vividly demonstrating the technical and vocational education ethos of “learning by doing” and cross-disciplinary application. NFU will continue to take technical and vocational education as its core, promoting cross-disciplinary innovation and aesthetic cultivation, while integrating the SDGs and social responsibility to build a more inclusive, collaborative, and sustainable learning environment. At the same time, the event is open to the local community, further strengthening campus–community connections and reinforcing the university’s role as an important platform for local culture and social innovation.
