Education is one of the best means to alleviate poverty. NCUE actively participates in local, regional, national, and even global policymaking mechanisms to end poverty everywhere in all its forms. We hope to eradicate poverty through education, including such diverse projects and policies as the measures described below:
1.NCUE integrates its relevant resources and formulates policies at all levels.
Through the Special Education Centre, the Department of Fine Arts, the Graduate Institute of History, and the Graduate Institute of Taiwanese Literature, NCUE actively links the resources from local communities, primary and secondary schools, vocational high schools, public interest groups, local enterprises, local governments, and Taiwan’s central government agencies. NCUE has established a cooperation platform to cooperatively develop projects and policies to eliminate all forms of poverty. It implements the projects of local communities, primary and secondary schools, vocational high schools, public interest groups, and local enterprises.
2.NCUE formulates and implements plans for poverty eradication with public interest groups, local enterprises, local governments, and Taiwan’s central government.
The Special Education Centre helps students with disabilities adapt to university life and various emotional, academic, societal, and career challenges. The Centre also helps the special education teachers and staff in Central Taiwan improve their professionalism and services by providing study groups, workshops, and consultation services and publishing special education periodicals.
3.Organized “Art in Guashan - 2021 Changhua International Art Festival” to sustain the story of the locality through art creation and bond the memory and attachment of Nanguo
Changhua County is approaching its 300th anniversary. To infuse the ancient county with innovative elements, the county government planned with great care to make this venue a base for art and creativity that restores historical and humanistic practices and highlights the charming and lively humanistic allure of Nanguo. This art festival has continued to collaborate with the faculty and students of the Department of Fine Arts of National Changhua University of Education on the Nanguo Dormitory Complex Alleyway Aesthetic Project, adding depth and refinery to the works. There are eight works of installation art on display, including “Memories,” “Concerto of Old House Dwellers,” “Symbiosis,” “Ink Painting,” “Memory of Nanguozhuang in 1920 via Bricks,” “Cat’s Project,” “If I Were a Japanese Architecture,” and “Tiny allure/ The Allure of the Small.” 
The dormitory of Nanguo was originally the official residence of the Nanguo Magistrate Sheriff and the officials.It is the most well-preserved Japanese dormitory complex in Changhua County that occupies the largest area. It brims with rarity and is indeed a collective memory of Changhua natives. With its Japanese architectural style, the allure of the family house pattern, and the story of temporal and spatial vicissitudes, it is not short of historical value, cultural depth, and aesthetic appeal. It is hoped that its story can be sustained by art creation. Simultaneously, lending beauty to the space and the memory and attachment of Nanguo are bonded, which is inexplicably meaningful. Indeed, it represents a light-hearted trip where art and humanities converge, and attendees/visitors can feel the local humanities and the creativity of young people.
