From online to offline, spreading the stories of ordinary people - "Taiwan's Happiness Symphony"
Since 2004, MERRY has sponsored the production of "Taiwan's Happiness Symphony" on Classic FM. It has been 20 years now, consistently highlighting the stories of ordinary heroes who have quietly dedicated themselves to Taiwan and its people. The program aims to inspire people with the uplifting power of these wonderful stories, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and building a better society together. In 2023, "Taiwan's Happiness Symphony" focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), featuring seven main themes that align with SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 10, SDG 11, SDG 14, SDG 15, and SDG 17. A total of 24 interviewees were featured, resulting in 78 written articles.
The protagonists of "Taiwan's Happiness Symphony" express their love for this land through the most practical actions. Since its launch in 2004, the program has conducted countless interviews and has increasingly addressed a diverse range of topics, resonating deeply with audiences over the years. As a result, MERRY invested over a million in 2007 and 2013 to produce audiobooks of "Taiwan's Happiness Symphony," curating selected broadcast content into physical audiobooks that can be listened to repeatedly and are easier to collect and share. In recent years, the program has expanded its thematic scope, not only focusing on Taiwan's land and cultural concerns but also extending to topics such as the ocean, mobility, aesthetics, new residents, and overseas individuals, enriching its diversity.
