為點亮鄉村教育特色並深耕在地永續發展，國立暨南國際大學教育學院於5月31日在校內盛大舉辦「2026 水沙連親子共學嘉年華」。本次盛會由教育部大學社會責任（USR）推動中心與暨南大學共同指導，集結暨大教育學院各系所、地方政府、在地社團、青年農民與非政府組織（NGOs），透過精心設計的跨領域市集與主題體驗，成功將埔里打造成兼具健康、安全與永續的綠活城鎮，為水沙連區域學童營造出一場深具國際視野與在地認同的未來教育典範。活動除了吸引中部各縣市親子共襄盛舉，更特別邀請豐丘、成城、乾峰、仁愛、南豐及麒麟等六所偏鄉國小師生與會，共創跨學齡的一日學習體驗。
暨大副校長楊洲松強調，大學社會責任的核心價值在於與地方共生共榮，暨大長期將學術能量轉化為在地實踐，期待每年都能邀請南投的孩子們到暨大美麗校園探索；陳啓東院長則鼓勵孩子們把握機會在暨大盡情學習，體驗一日大學生活。隨後，豐丘國小團隊與埔里鎮吉祥物「噗哩」熱情帶來開幕帶動跳，瞬間點燃全場氣氛，並在溫馨的大合照中正式啟動豐富的學習旅程。
To highlight the distinctive features of rural education and strengthen local sustainable development, the College of Education at National Chi Nan University (NCNU) held the 2026 Shuishalian Parent-Child Learning Carnival on May 31 at the university campus. Co-organized under the guidance of the University Social Responsibility (USR) Promotion Center of the Ministry of Education and NCNU, the event brought together departments and institutes within NCNU's College of Education, local government agencies, community organizations, young farmers, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Through a carefully designed interdisciplinary marketplace and a variety of themed experiential activities, the carnival successfully showcased Puli as a healthy, safe, and sustainable green-living town. It also created an innovative educational experience for children in the Shuishalian region, combining an international perspective with a strong sense of local identity. In addition to attracting families from across central Taiwan, the event specially invited teachers and students from six rural elementary schools—Fengqiu, Chengcheng, Ganfeng, Ren'ai, Nanfeng, and Qilin—to participate in a one-day intergenerational learning experience.
NCNU Vice President Yang Chou-Sung emphasized that the core value of university social responsibility lies in achieving shared growth and prosperity with local communities. He noted that NCNU has long been committed to transforming academic resources into practical local initiatives and expressed his hope that children from across Nantou County would continue to have opportunities to explore the university's beautiful campus each year. Dean Chen Chi-Tung also encouraged the children to make the most of this opportunity to learn at NCNU and experience a day in university life. The opening ceremony then kicked off with an energetic group dance performance by the Fengqiu Elementary School team and "Puli," the mascot of Puli Township, immediately filling the venue with excitement. A heartwarming group photo marked the official beginning of a day filled with diverse and enriching learning experiences.
