As part of Taiwan's New Southbound Policy for enhancing regional participation through cultural and economic ties, the Ministry of Culture is looking for youth delegates to participate in a cultural exchange grants program. The second call for applications will be accepted from now until May 31. Those who engage in culture-related matters including legal entities, organizations, colleges and universities are welcome to submit their proposals.
The Ministry of Culture introduced the "Youth Cultural Gardeners: Taiwan- Southeast Asia Grants Program for Culture Exchanges and Collaboration" in 2016, and has sponsored 32 teams of 255 youths to visit Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, New Zealand, Australia and other countries to take part in activities such as field researches, workshops, documentary filming, art festivals, and others.
In order to recruit more talents to participate in the exchange program, the age range of candidates has been amended to 20 through 45 years old.
For more information about the application guidelines, documents, and process, please visit the Ministry of Culture's website to download the guidelines.
