ZA Share is a Taiwan-born social enterprise that makes experimental and prosocial lifelong learning a new attitude and style of living, with a dream to see societies becoming sandboxes for co-learning and co-experimentation. Since its birth in 2015, Za Share has engaged the participation of more >1.5k change agents, >200k participants, and >120m internet traffic, which greatly contributed to the emergence of "educational alternatives" and "experimental education" as a trendy fashion in Taiwan.
By providing a platform for new media and organizing large-scale exhibitions, ZA Share creates a multi-dimensional ecosystem for innovation in education that keeps pace with the rapidly emerging future and supports passionate individuals and organizations to meet the demands of society and to address common goods.
Through digital democracy, ZA Share integrates crowd-generated educational content with entertaining or engaging forms of new media to communicate with the public effectively, and bridges their initiatives to the multifacet resources in the industry, government, academia, and the people.
Offline, ZA Share organizes the largest expo in Asia on innovation in education every year. In addition to the expo itself, international forums, lectures, workshops, arts, and cultural activities, business matchmaking, and “demo days” are also included as part of the overall program.
On one end, ZA Share assists changemakers, industries, and non-profit organizations and helps meet the growing demand for lifelong learning amongst the general public. On another end, ZA Share connects Taiwan to the world and builds a mutual learning and support system to all the non-conformist educational alternatives that share common values.
