As the year draws to a close, many think of Christmas or final exams. However, December is also an important month for reflecting on human rights. On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, marking the beginning of an era dedicated to the pursuit of human rights and freedoms—a legacy that allows us to live on free land today.


On Christmas night, December 25, the NCKU Student Association hosted the "Voices from the Corner: Human Rights Month Commemorative Concert." Through the fusion of human rights, music, and the festive atmosphere of Christmas, the event aimed to inspire participation and rekindle the campus community’s awareness of human rights issues.


The concert began with a performance by the NCKU Jazz Club, setting a vibrant tone for the evening. Artists from various backgrounds, disciplines, and advocacies then took the stage, showcasing music inspired by different human rights and social issues:


- Tahai & Kaviaz, from the Bunun tribe, performed songs blending tribal languages and human rights themes, reflecting their deep concern for indigenous issues.
- Independent singer Chen-Jung Kuo, known for her focus on society and life, delivered heartfelt songs that expressed her longing for freedom and her vision of living well.
- Yi-Jui Wu, leader of the "Taugether Troupe" and NCKU Associate Professor of Cross College Elite Program, performed human rights-themed songs inspired by Lai Ho, the father of Taiwan's New Literature Movement, as a powerful call to society.
- Local artist Li-Yen Wang closed the event with a moving performance that wove music into personal storytelling, leaving the audience with a profound sense of reflection.


This was the first time the NCKU Student Association hosted a human rights event in December centered around music. Participants found the collaboration between human rights and music to be innovative and refreshing. Student Tsai, a junior in Business Administration, said it was a unique experience amidst the busy final exam period and expressed gratitude to the Student Association for organizing such an event.


Student Association members Hsuan-Yu Ho and Kai-Lun Lin emphasized that the event’s purpose was to showcase diversity through a relay of performances by different artists, symbolizing the freedom and inclusiveness of human rights. The event also partnered with NGOs and student clubs to promote their missions, while adding to the event’s appeal with booths from NCKU’s Beverage Society and the student-run café "letsgo_ Coffee & Dessert."


NCKU Student Association President Chen-Hung Wu highlighted the association’s commitment to addressing the needs of all corners of the campus and connecting with broader societal issues. The "Voices from the Corner" concert was designed to spark discussions on social and human rights topics within the university. Wu also announced plans for continued human rights events in April and May, incorporating feedback from this concert to explore new formats for fostering campus-wide dialogue on these crucial topics.  The Student Association hopes to encourage faculty and students to express their desires for freedom and their aspirations for society in future events, ensuring that human rights remain a cornerstone of NCKU’s campus culture.
