The Ministry of Education's National Sports Administration held the "115th Sports Village/Community Certification" nationwide launch press conference and Northern Region briefing today, hoping to lead villages and communities across Taiwan to transform into healthy and vibrant communities through policy explanations, and to cultivate regular exercise habits among all citizens.
Wu Chien-yuan, Deputy Director of the National Sports Administration, stated in his speech that last year, the first "Sports Village/Community Certification" saw 214 villages and communities pass the certification. He hopes that more villages and communities will join this year, organizing diverse nationwide sports activities and courses to make exercise a part of local life.
He pointed out that in response to the President's core policy goal of "Healthy Taiwan," they expect the "Sports Village/Community Certification" to become a bridge connecting the central government and the grassroots, extending national sports policies to the most basic village and community levels, truly realizing the vision of "making sports a part of life, and everyone active."
The National Sports Administration discovered through previous feedback surveys that obtaining the "Sports Village/Community Certification" serves as affirmation and encouragement for villages and communities dedicated to promoting sports. It also makes it easier to promote the benefits of exercise to villagers and attract them to participate in sports courses and activities.
In the future, the National Sports Administration will continue to hold "Sports Village/Community Certification" events to encourage local villages and communities to deeply integrate all-age sports into the grassroots level, enrich the diversity and breadth of sports clubs, and connect with local associations, schools, and local businesses to form sports networks, thereby expanding participation in national sports.
The review criteria for "Sports Village/Community Certification" are mainly divided into three major categories: "Current Status of Village/Community Sports," "Sports Promotion and Dissemination," and "Linkage with Social Resources." Subsequently, the National Sports Administration will hold application briefing sessions in the Eastern District, Central District, Southern District, and Penghu Outer Islands.
