The micro-credit course "Sea You Again," launched by Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages as part of its university social responsibility initiative, integrates the naval culture of Zuoying Naval Base and the culture of military dependents' villages. The purpose of the event is to incorporate the culture of military dependents' villages into modern life, allowing the younger generation to better understand, respect, and cherish this historical period. The content of the event covers introductions to naval, cultural, historical, and geographical aspects, not only promoting naval culture but also emphasizing the importance of national defense awareness for all citizens.
The event comprises two main games. The first game, "Military Village History Snap" requires participants to cooperate with their group members according to mission instructions to identify the historical significance and background of artifacts and exhibits. This interactive gaming approach allows participants to deepen their impression of the knowledge points through firsthand experience, enhancing the fun of learning. The second game, "Ship Dizziness," revolves around Morse code, challenging participants to decipher Morse code and explore its mysteries and intricacies. These games blend traditional and modern elements, injecting new vitality and charm into the culture of military dependents' villages, sparking interest in military dependent village culture and Morse code among a wider audience.
The final segment of the event culminates in a visit to "Four Season Family" a restaurant adjacent to the military base's story museum, where everyone indulges in delicious village-style cuisine. Organized by the students, this special arrangement allows participants, including teachers and students, to immerse themselves in the local culture and the daily life of the military dependents' village through food. Although the dishes served in the restaurant have evolved over time to suit modern Taiwanese tastes, the communal dining atmosphere still evokes the essence of village life, fostering a sense of camaraderie among us.
Through this event, Wenzao Ursuline University successfully integrated the culture of military dependents' villages and naval culture into its social responsibility initiative, striking a balance between education and entertainment. Through games like "Military Village History Snap" and "Ship Dizziness," participants gained historical knowledge related to military dependents' villages and discovered the unique charm of these villages and naval culture. This enjoyable and educational format made learning more engaging while deepening participants' understanding and interest in the military dependents' villages and naval culture of Kaohsiung.
