2020 Taiwan Culture Study Camp for Overseas Youth

To help young people from abroad get to know Taiwan's rich and diverse culture, as well as its current political and economic development, and to promote exchange between young people from Taiwan and abroad, we are organizing this study camp. The program focuses on a "deep understanding of Taiwanese culture", and the courses include an introduction to Taiwan, Taiwanese Hokkien lessons, cultural lectures, humanities-oriented visits, exchange among young people, and exploring the beauty of the Treasure Island. Through the visits and studies, young people from abroad will experience the beauty of Taiwanese culture for themselves, learn about the current development of Taiwan's politics, economy, society, education and technology, and meet Taiwanese youth on university campuses. This will deepen and broaden their knowledge of Taiwan; with a fresh perspective they will present the best side of Taiwan, and the ranks of Taiwan's young friends abroad will grow stronger. The event lasts 2 weeks.
