This 12-day program (June 16-27, 2025) offers U.S. and Canadian citizens aged 20-35 a chance to immerse themselves in Taiwanese culture and society. Participants will engage in workshops, lectures, visits to historical sites, and various cultural activities.  A key benefit is that Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) will cover all travel and living expenses within Taiwan. The Mosaic Taiwan Program is an excellent opportunity for individuals with a demonstrated interest in public affairs, politics, government, and international relations. Eligible candidates must not have previously participated in a Taiwan travel program sponsored by the Taiwan government. This program would be of particular interest to students and recent graduates in fields such as political science, international relations, Asian studies, and related disciplines, and is a valuable opportunity for individuals to gain firsthand experience in Taiwan and broaden their understanding of international affairs. The deadline to apply is March 12, 2025.
