2023-05-18

  1. In order to encourage domestic universities and civil organizations to provide voluntary services at overseas Chinese schools in Southeast Asia, and to broaden the international perspectives of our youth, we have formulated this plan. Additionally, to establish long-term communication channels between domestic youth volunteer teams and overseas Chinese schools and allow volunteers to have a better understanding of the current situation at the schools and adjust the service content accordingly, this plan allows volunteer teams to independently contact and negotiate with the Chinese schools mentioned in our announcement, and after confirming the service arrangements, they can apply to our organization for funding support.

  2. Based on the investigation of the demand for overseas Chinese school volunteer services this year, there are a total of 3 countries, including the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand, with 11 Chinese schools submitting requests. Approximately 82 youth volunteers are needed, with the following areas of demand (detailed in the summarized table):

    (a) Chinese language education: including teaching techniques, Chinese character instruction, pronunciation instruction, classroom games, character-based teaching methods, composition, reading, calligraphy, and public speaking, etc.

    (b) Cultural promotion: including paper cutting, Chinese knots, Chinese painting, martial arts, kung fu, tai chi, puppetry, pipe and string instruments, folk songs, folk dances, etc.

    (d) Library services: including assisting libraries, planning school history libraries, etc.

    (e) Others: including enhancing students' motivation and ability in learning Chinese, life education, environmental conservation courses, etc.
