2026 台東博覽會 TAITUNG EXPO

Community Participation Plan

Emerging from public perspectives and taking root across Taitung, the Community Participation Plan forms a symphony of collective voices at the heart of the 2026 Taitung Expo.

Grounded in the core values of “Taitung Blue,” the “slow economy,” and “sustainable development”—and aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—the Plan launched an open call for forward-thinking curatorial proposals reflecting diverse perspectives. By inviting individual changemakers, civic organizations, and cross-disciplinary teams, it fosters creative exchange and transforms public issues into tangible actions.

From early-stage public roundtable dialogues and idea incubation to open-call briefings and case-sharing sessions, the Plan received a total of 55 proposals, of which 22 projects were ultimately selected.

The selected projects span diverse fields—including cultural development, education, social systems, industry and economy, everyday life initiatives, and environmental sustainability—demonstrating the region’s diversity and the vitality of civic participation. As these initiatives unfold across Taitung, sustained practice continues to build local momentum. Beginning with the 2026 Taitung Expo, this growing energy sets the stage for a celebration created by and for all.
