In line with the concept of “towards technological innovation and social responsibility”, ASUS has long been dedicated to the integration of its own development with social development, and has joined hands with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Youth League to launch the “ASUS e-Volunteer Project” since 2009. Over the past 14 years, ASUS e-volunteers have left their footprints in more than 30 key cities and 1,000 colleges and universities across China, affecting more than 80 million people in total. The knowledge delivered and hope raised by ASUS e-Volunteer project has reached all parts of the country. In recent years, it has focused more on the growth of young people, and encouraging and supporting caring young people with the spirit of exploration to give play to creativity and achieve self-breakthrough in the field they love.
In 2022, the ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Project, in collaboration with the Beijing Cultural Development Foundation, will upgrade to the ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Section, and will launch the ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Collection and Proposal Conference and ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Project Workshop at the 12th BJIFF. This aims to inspire young people to create videos for social good and express it through videos, and to hunt for talented young video creators. The section intends to convey power with social good videos, and warm each and every person like the sun.
