Project Overview:
The subsidy targets of the “Key Points for Subsidy Work to Enhance the Vitality of the Hakka Community” are multiple and it can provide resources and support that are more flexible and closer to the actual needs for boosting the Hakka. First of all, to expand opportunities for participation, in addition to local governments, public and private schools and civic groups, we especially include foundations, non-departmental government bodies, companies and individuals as subsidy recipients in the expectation that when foundations undertake public services or non-departmental public bodies implement specific public affairs, they can increase use of the Hakka; furthermore, individuals may also submit creative plans to work together to enhance the vitality of the Hakka.

The promotion and transmission of the Hakka means it must be used repeatedly by all walks of life on many occasions in order to be sustainably passed on. The “Key Points for Subsidy Work to Enhance the Vitality of the Hakka Community” also plan in different directions to provide resources to support Hakka promotion, for example: encourage all walks of life through speaking Hakka to combine resources with local characteristics, to come up with “Hakka Community Building Projects” to allow Hakka to become heard and seen in daily life settings. Further, to create sufficient Hakka study materials (and aids), and respond to changes in modes of study in the digital era, we will also invite companies that have experience in producing teaching materials and aids, in publishing, or in information applications and developing systems to come up with plans related to “Hakka Teaching Materials (Aids)” or “Hakka Promotion Information Systems” to meet the requirements for contemporary Hakka study and optimize the Hakka learning environment. In the area of “Hakka Study Activities,” the Hakka Affairs Council hopes to receive submissions from all walks of life concerning innovative teaching methods and diverse applications for Hakka to make Hakka learning more vivid and interesting.
