【What is Nantou NEXT⁺ Lab?】
A local action lab where youth can slow down and rediscover their hometown.
Here, we believe—returning home is not a retreat, but the beginning of deeper roots.
The 《NEXT⁺ Lab》 created by the Nantou Youth Development Office
centers on "Nantou Living Slow Learning" and, through diverse dimensions such as culture, industry, and space,
designs a series of learning journeys that combine thematic courses × local hands-on practice,
guiding youth to observe their hometown, understand the land, take action, and create change.
Here you will learn:
Site Management｜How to create local spaces where people want to linger
Regional Culture｜Uncover the stories rooted in the land
Brand Operation｜Transform vision into sustainable action
Ecological Dining｜Restore an amicable relationship with food
Spatial Aesthetics｜Infuse life with warmth through design
We don't just offer courses—we build a co-creative path connecting "youth × land × future."
From a learner to a practitioner, from identifying with the place to putting down roots at home,
let action be the starting point of change, and let dreams take shape on this familiar land.
