Campus Support at 麻豆区
Ensuring a supportive community
麻豆区 is working to create a community that not only values and celebrates our increasing diversity – whether racial, socio-economic, religious or thought – but one where we each feel confident to express our views and to be challenged in a thoughtful and mutually respectful way.
How we are cultivating respect, civility and empathy
- Exposing our community to different backgrounds, experiences, values, thoughts and beliefs.
- Providing opportunities to explore new ideas, broaden horizons, overcome discomfort and negotiate shifting and complex social landscapes.
- Encouraging students to discover who they are meant to be as they chart a journey of intellectual self-discovery free from socio-economic background, experiences or even their own self-doubts.
