TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taichung City’s Sihwei Elementary School (四維國小) and Nantou County’s Fa-zhi Elementary School (法治國小) have become partners under the Ministry of Education’s collaborative learning scheme.

The schools' joint learning activities created a more versatile learning environment and expanded the horizons of their students’ exchange activities. This included Fa-zhi’s ballad team singing traditional Bunun songs to greet their school guests.

In return, Sihwei students danced to the song “Embrace the World with You,” the theme song of the Taipei Universiade, in 2017. Fa-zhi students later joined their guests in dancing to this lively song.

After the welcoming ceremony, students from the partner schools engaged in various learning activities, some of which were initially a little daunting. Even so, they helped each other to complete their missions.    [FULL  STORY]
