OLD HOUSE NEW LIFE-FOUNDATION HISTORIC CITY CON

In 2008, The Foundation Historic City Conservation and Regeneration started the charity event ¡°Old House New Life¡± through civil society. We promote supporting the excellent old house regeneration. It attracted lots of attention and resonated with the public. The ¡°Old House New Life¡± has become more and more visible in few years. The old town of Tainan which were on the decline got the recognization and confidence back by public participation. The event ¡°Old House New Life¡± will reach its 10 years anniversary by 2018. Therefore, we arrange a series of projects to celebrate it, including the international volunteering camp. The operation of old houses is an important part in our charity event ¡°Old House New Life¡±. The main purpose of this event is to learn how to regenerate an old house and sustain its new life. The FHCCR has been training technicians in the community. Such training allows people who are willing to conserve old houses become the driving force of our event. Textile, baking and woodcraft are the techniques that FHCCR currently working on. Many have developed their professions in these three areas to help operating old houses, filling them with not only architectural work, but also the warm heart of humanity. Volunteers will be a part of this operation in the way of participating the learning and training of professional techniques, experiencing the spirit of ¡°Old House New Life¡±.
