Youth Build a Safer Community in Tainan 2025

In 2025, a group of university students in Tainan is making their city safer. The students, part of the “Safe Streets” project, work with teachers, shop owners, and local police to prevent violence and create safer neighborhoods. Every weekend, volunteers organize street workshops where they teach young people about communication, respect, and solving problems calmly. They also run art and music programs to keep teens engaged and connected. Residents say these activities have reduced fights and improved relationships between neighbors. Local schools have joined the project, inviting students to share ideas for making classrooms and playgrounds friendlier spaces. Teachers report fewer arguments and more teamwork during group activities. The students leading the program say they are proud to see more trust and cooperation in their community. They believe that when young people practice peaceful problem-solving, the whole neighborhood becomes a better and safer place for everyone.
