SDG11.2.5 Arts and heritage contribution
To convey the beauty of various art forms to the local community, each year NCUE organizes free musical activities, as well as art and literature lectures. In addition to attracting students who might be interested in joining the corresponding clubs, the community residents are also welcomed to participate in the grand event.
The Baisha Wind Band and Chorus in C-Major comprise music-loving students. These clubs provide learning and communication opportunities and activities, and are often invited to perform in various places as well as for friendly exchanges with other schools. The clubs have won several awards in various national competitions and play a significant role in many large events organized by the University.
In 2021, the Baisha Wind Band performed at the Chiayi City International Band Festival, contributing to local arts and cultural events. Additionally, they participated in a national music competition. The clubs regularly learn from other schools during their various exchange activities and have created a set of highlights of their performances. All these achievements have encouraged the growth of the clubs.
