2025 Poster Session

The occurrence of resonance can make the activator of the resonance effect have a multiplier effect on the message to be conveyed to the publics. In Taiwan's textile conservation and research field, the International Embroidery Research and Center of Tainan University of Technology (IERC, TUT) has well known for preserving and repairing embroidery crafts and temple antiquities. The Embroidery Center found that the disappearance of embroidery skills and the decline of embroidery business in recent years have led to the difficulty of inheritance. Since 2017, IERC began to have the concept of "University has obligations to serve our society", and promoted the practice plan as called "Embroidery Skills Inheritance and Memory Extension". Until now, seven consecutive years served local communities and remote villages to promote embroidery aesthetic activities, and opened traditional embroidery craft talent cultivation courses. At the beginning of 2024, IERC cooperated with the National Science and Technology Museum to aim K4-K9 students to learn embroidery and tailoring skills, and scheduled to host a learning sharing and achievement presentation by the end of project.

IERC, TUT and Collections and Research Division, NSTM were established in 2002 and 2003 respectively, both of which offer exhibition hall visits. Therefore, building learning atmosphere from the two departments was considered as the main cooperation plan. The goal was expected to provide participants with an exciting and innovative experience through the tailoring and embroidery experience, and cultivate their interest in a career as an embroidery tailor. In addition, the participants heard the story of preserving traditional craft fabrics that their stereotyped impression of traditional embroidery skills were be changed. Apparently, creating a daily design with life aesthetics has become an unforgettable life experience. 

This paper examined the ripple effect as a qualitative research theory, and analyzed that organizational cooperation had a substantial effect on external links, thereby expanding the preservation value of traditional textile skills. The research finding explained that there were two main reasons for the ripple effect. Firstly, to provide students with an exciting and innovative experience. Secondly, initial stage of establishment was reached to form a unique service system for Taiwan's embroidery clothing cultural assets.
