MOE to fund overseas youth activities
The Ministry of Education says a programme designed to encourage young people to participate in volunteering, internships, and other learning activities overseas with government funding will begin receiving applications next year.
Deputy Education Minister Yeh Bing-cheng says the programme is being supported by the newly established Youth Overseas Dream Fund and aims to help young people go abroad and "broaden their horizons."
Yeh says the government hopes to select around 550 young people in 2025 for the programme - which is open to Taiwan nationals aged between 15 to 30.
The deputy education minister is encouraging young people with "good ideas," regardless of their family's financial status, to apply.
Selected applicants will receive grants of up to NT$2 million for their own proposals. Projects currently being negotiated included student tours to the central government agencies in France as well as to different Indigenous villages in Canada.
