This project assisted Taiwan EPA to follow up the work that had been done during the past two years (year of 2014 and 2015), and kept guiding and assisting all the registered eco-campuses in Taiwan to apply for the certificate and helped schools, which had paired American counterparts, to communicate with their sister schools if necessary. Moreover, there were 85 Taiwanese schools which were successfully paired with the American eco schools this year (year of 2016). In addition, 4 Environmental Education and Counseling Groups were established, in charge of counseling schools located at the northern, central, southern and eastern regions of Taiwan locally, to help more schools to know this project and become an eco-campus. On the other hand, in order to keep the connection between Taiwanese and American schools, this project not only facilitated Taiwan and American educators exchange activities (the activities of the US delegation visiting Taiwan and Taiwan delegation visiting the states), but kept maintaining the “US-Taiwan Eco-Campus Partnership Platform (Chinese version and English version), “ providing a space for all the Taiwanese eco-campuses uploading the related document for certification eco-campus related news, events and having the opportunity to get in touch with the American counterparts. Last but not least, in order to assist Taiwan EPA to cooperate with the US EPA to facilitate the Environmental Education Cooperation Program for the Partner Nations around the Pacific Rim, this project also worked on promoting the Global Environmental Education Partnership Program (GEEP) and the International Kids Making Sense event in Thailand, sharing the achievements and performances of GEEP members’ environmental education projects or programs, as well as connecting Taiwan to the world.
