During this month, students explored the unit, “Social Innovation, Social Entrepreneurship, and Social Enterprises,” for their inquiry, learning, and exploration. The teacher, Ian, guided students to understand the concepts of social enterprises and identify areas of interest for in-depth exploration. Students researched a Taiwanese social enterprise addressing a social issue and analyzed its mission, vision, executing projects, contributions, and impact. They demonstrated their findings through English presentations in class. In class, students interactively shared their discoveries in various fields, including education for remote areas, child and youth care and rehabilitation, assistance for vulnerable kids, diverse gender groups, and abandoned animal care. Through discussion and feedback, students reflected on the social enterprises they are interested in developing and the entrepreneurial skills they want to boost in their school life. Through this unit, we expect students to develop insights into social issues, envision the contributions and social impacts, and cultivate social entrepreneurship and international vision.

這個月國際能力課程聚焦探討「社會創新、社會創業及社會企業」，Ian老師引導高中部的同學們進行探究學習，理解社會企業的概念並發掘有興趣探索的議題領域。這堂課的報告內容是同學們根據自身感興趣的社會議題，找尋致力於解決社會問題的台灣社會企業，並整理其使命、願景、貢獻與專案介紹。

同學們報告的議題包括偏鄉教育、兒童與青少年照護、對弱勢兒童的協助、多元性別群體以及遭遺棄的動物照護，透過同儕彼此的回饋與討論，期望大家能夠在未來成為具有貢獻及影響力的社會公民，並培養社會企業家精神及國際視野。
