New Taipei mayor Eric Chu attends students’ Southeast Asian culture exhibit
High school students in New Taipei have put on a presentation introducing Southeast Asian culture.

New Taipei’s education department invited 28 high school students to organize an exhibit on Southeast Asian culture. The students selected have been on internship programs with Taiwanese companies based in Vietnam and Thailand.

At the exhibit, some students wore traditional Vietnamese clothes and invited visitors to try Vietnamese food. In recent years, there has also been a program in which children born to new immigrant parents traveled to their parents’ country of birth to visit their grandparents.

New Taipei mayor Eric Chu attended the exhibit and congratulated the students on the success of the event.

Schools in New Taipei have sent 183 students to countries in Southeast Asia in the last four years on similar cultural exchange programs.    [FULL  STORY]
