ESSC 2023 Semi-final

10 teams participated to the ESSC 2023 semi-final at Taipei-tech University in Taipei.

We were thrilled to see very divers projects, related to aging population, animal protection, environment, recycling – all very important subjects to enhance our communities.

This year the semi-final was more special as, apart from presenting their projects the students had the opportunity to get more support to improve their presentations and their projects.

First Calvin Chen from Taipei Tech explained how to improve their presentations skills in a small training session. Then the students were divided in two groups and get specific feedback on the content and the form. Many thanks to all the judges -coaches for their contributions!

The judges had a very hard time to eliminate projects, so we decided to invite all the 10 to join the final. We are certain that the feedback that their received from the coaches, alongside the further training that is planned will help the students to enhance even more their projects.

Thanks again to all the sponsors, which allow us to have not only great cash prizes but also opportunities for scholarships and internships!

All the best to all the 10 teams for the last preparations and see you on April 29^th!

Remote Online English Education Project

RCT’s Remote Online English Education Project links Taipei European School (TES) and Asia America International Academy (AAIA) with elementary schools in Pintung.

The junior mentors and young learners finally met face to face for the first time at the Meet & Greet in Pingtung last Friday after two years of Covid closure.

It was a long trip full of excitement and fulfillment. We were deeply touched when seeing the smiles of the students.

Helping others makes you feel more useful and happier!

The more you give, the more you get! So true is the Rotary motto: One profits most who serves the best!
