Social Engagement

Social Engagement

 

By adhering to the spirit of “giving back what is taken from the society,” UfiSpace extends its emphasis on talent development and family care within the enterprise to local communities, connecting internal employees and external public welfare partners to jointly transform warmth into positive influence on the society.

SDG4 Quality Education Initiatives

 

As a leader in 5G network communication technology, UfiSpace values talent cultivation. We not only establish a culture of self-learning among all employees, but also hope to promote quality education initiatives through corporate resources, change the educational environment in Taiwan, and continue to nurture the next generation of talents to facilitate the industry development in Taiwan in the future. Focusing on the problems of insufficient academic performance and lack of learning motivation of students in Taiwan due to educational inequality, UfiSpace collaborated with 2 new education startups, Junyi Academy Foundation and LIS(Learning in Science, Taiwan Online Education Development Association), in 2023 to overcome the limitations of time and space and support teachers across Taiwan in optimizing teaching with innovative digital tools, and attract students to learn on their own through interesting learning content. Accordingly, we helped children regain self-confidence and joy in learning and thereby develop lifelong learning skills.

UfiSpace X Junyi: Using the Power of Technology to Create Differentiated Instruction and Help Disadvantaged Students Regain Their Learning Confidence

 

With the advancement of technology, digital learning tools that transcend time and space have become powerful instruments for reducing educational inequality. However, challenges in the classroom go beyond access to resources. Diversification and differentiation in teaching are critical to supporting students who are academically disadvantaged.

According to the 2022 PISA results, although Taiwan showed improvement in overall rankings across literacy, mathematics, and science compared to 2018, a significant 12% to 16% of students still did not meet basic proficiency levels in these subjects. Amid the growing M-shaped polarization of academic achievement, addressing the needs of underperforming students is key to narrowing the educational gap.



 

The Junyi Academy Foundation has found that most learning materials on the market are geared toward students with average to above-average performance, leaving a lack of resources tailored for students with weaker academic abilities. In 2024, UfiSpace supported the Foundation in producing foundational learning material for Math and a learning support platform for 7th and 8th-grade students. These resources aim to help teachers better support students in need of academic assistance by strengthening their foundational knowledge and gradually rebuilding their confidence in learning.

By 2024, the foundational learning material for junior high students was in use across all counties and outlying islands of Taiwan. New Taipei City had the highest number of users (26,847), followed by Tainan City (24,784). Even remote areas such as Penghu County (854 users), Kinmen County (588 users), and Lienchiang County (112 users) showed active engagement. The 7th and 8th-grade materials supported by UfiSpace reached a total of 834,675 views, with 1,280 data imports on the learning support platform and 8,016 recorded student uses.

UfiSpace X LIS : Online and Offline Empowerment, Supporting Non-Science Teachers to Deliver Engaging Science Classes

 

Facing a wave of labor shortages, all industries in Taiwan are engaged in a talent war. The education sector is also grappling with a teacher shortage, with the number of enrolled students in university teacher training programs decreasing year by year. The challenges faced by science fields are particularly severe. At the elementary school level, 70% of teachers across Taiwan did not major in science-related fields. They often need to spend more time preparing for science classes. Under the pressure of curriculum progress, they may miss the opportunity to spark children's curiosity in science and stimulate their proactive learning motivation. To preserve children's interest in science, UfiSpace continues its collaboration with LIS (Learning in Science, Taiwan Online Education Development Association) . They focus on supporting elementary school teachers who lack science teaching resources, helping them optimize their classrooms and guide children to think like scientists.



 

In 2024, UfiSpace supported the production of two units of "Electromagnetic Interactions" science teaching materials, which include 8-12 minute instructional videos, two teaching presentations, and two worksheets. As of September 2024 (one month after the materials went online), Elementary School Material - Electromagnetic Interactions EP1 had 2,666 views, reaching 55,000 unique users, and Elementary School Material - Electromagnetic Interactions EP2 had 3,140 views, reaching 65,000 unique users. In addition to online materials, the company also supported one teacher workshop in Yilan. This workshop trained a total of 25 participants, including 10 non-science teachers and 4 elementary school science teachers from remote or peri-urban/rural schools. In 2024, through the development of LIS elementary school science digital teaching materials and the organization of in-person teacher workshops, a cumulative total of 833 elementary school teachers became LIS members, and 167 teachers received in-depth training, indirectly impacting over 95,000 elementary school students.

UfiSpace x Bethany: “B with U” Summer Learning Initiative

 

Since 2022, UfiSpace has formed a relationship with Bethany Children’s Home to launch the “B with U” adoption project, under which our employees send handwritten cards and gifts to the children for annual festivals to show warmth. In 2024, we took this commitment a step further by integrating our core advocacy of quality education into the program—adding value to our sponsorship through meaningful, education-focused initiatives.

 

As a leading provider of end-to-end open networking solutions, UfiSpace is home to a wealth of R&D talent with strong backgrounds in science and technology. Leveraging this expertise, we organized an learning event, “Science Break”, for the children of Bethany Children’s Home. A team of 15 volunteers—comprising UfiSpace employees and their family members—joined 14 children and 12 staff from the Home for an interactive tour at National Taiwan Science Education Center. Through hands-on experiments and engaging exhibits, the children were introduced to scientific principles in a fun, curiosity-driven environment.

In response to the Home’s previously expressed need for after-school tutoring support, we introduced the free online learning platform developed by Junyi Academy Foundation. UfiSpace employees provided guidance and training on utilizing Junyi’s online learning platform, enabling the staff of the Home to independently assist the children’s academic progress moving forward. Additionally, we implemented a scholarship incentive to encourage participation in Junyi’s summer online learning and foster habits of self-motivated study. The initiative received enthusiastic participation from 15 students. Among them, 12 completed over 50% of the video lessons, and 4 successfully finished the entire 8-week course. Collectively, the students accumulated an impressive total of 558,846 learning points on Junyi platform—demonstrating outstanding engagement and achievement.

Sustainability Initiatives Inspiring More Actions for Common Good

 

To build a culture of sustainability among all employees, UfiSpace has arranged a diversity of activities for employees to understand the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and related issues through fun and relaxing experiences, with a reward mechanism integrated to encourage employees to take actions for the environment and society as a global citizen.

 

2024 ESG Day: A Different Sports Day

 

Since 2022, UfiSpace has hosted an annual ESG Day team-building event designed to foster employee engagement with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a range of sustainability topics through interactive experiences. For 2024, inspired by the spirit of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), we focused on SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). In line with our commitment to employee health and all-age care initiatives, we partnered with the Eden Social Welfare Foundation—dedicated to supporting persons with disabilities—and the Hondao Senior Citizens Welfare Foundation—focused on elderly welfare. Together, we created “A Different Sports Day,” where employees participated in inclusive games simulating the daily challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the elderly. These immersive experiences encouraged empathy, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving. Through team-based activities, employees practiced assisting others and reflected on how to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace. As part of this initiative, UfiSpace supported Hondao's senior employment program by purchasing their charitable “Dreams Never Get Old T-Shirts” from Bulao 125. These were gifted to all employees to celebrate the idea that dreams have no age limit. Additionally, UfiSpace made a donation to Eden's 2024 Accessible Living Festival, which supported 15 cases of daytime care and enhanced independent living skills for 20 individuals with disabilities—relieving caregiving stress for many families.

 

Ecological Restoration

 

In celebration of Earth Day 2024, UfiSpace employees and their families returned to Tucheng—the company’s founding community—for a volunteer day with the Butterfly Conservation Society of Taiwan . At Shanxi Temple, they contributed to ecosystem restoration by removing invasive plant species and improving habitats for butterflies and other wild life. The day concluded with an educational biodiversity tour, led by conservation experts, where participants learned about the life cycles and environmental roles of butterflies and fireflies. The final firefly-viewing event left a deep emotional impact and renewed our collective commitment to environmental stewardship.

In addition to ecological restoration in the New Taipei City area, in 2024, UfiSpace also donated to the Society of Wilderness to support wetland restoration in Yilan County. Colleagues also took this opportunity to visit the Lizejian area in Yilan for birdwatching and exploring old streets, further connecting with our beloved land.

 

Sustainability Learning Sessions

 

In 2024, UfiSpace created "Our Space," a multifunctional learning area at its Xinzhuang headquarters. By providing books and organizing sustainability lectures, the company aims to share new knowledge and promote sustainability initiatives with colleagues, hoping to inspire more practical applications in their daily lives. In 2024, UfiSpace collaborated with sustainability brands "Walk in Taiwan" and "Storywear" to host two lectures on sustainable travel and sustainable fashion, both of which received positive feedback from colleagues.

 

Corporate Giving and Community Support

 

UfiSpace remains committed to giving back. In 2024, employee-led fundraising ambassadors organized quarterly micro-fundraising campaigns for causes close to their hearts. Ufispace matched these donations, and together we supported 13 local and international non-profit organizations with a total contribution of NT$355,000.In response to urgent needs, UfiSpace also donated NT$200,000 to assist recovery efforts for the Ishikawa Earthquake in Japan and the Hualien Earthquake in Taiwan. We hope our contributions support rapid rebuilding and community healing.
