In a proactive response to the Ministry of Education’s New Southbound Policy, the University of Taipei welcomed faculty and students from Shoolini University, India, on Monday, July 7, to begin a two-week academic and cultural exchange program. Organized and hosted by the University of Taipei, the program aims to strengthen the friendship and mutual understanding between the two institutions through Mandarin language education and cultural engagement. The program features a rich and diverse itinerary. In addition to a comprehensive Mandarin language course designed to enhance the participants’ linguistic abilities, the university has arranged a series of cultural experience activities and visits to renowned Taiwanese landmarks. These include pineapple cake DIY workshops, calligraphy classes, mini lantern-making, and visits to the National Palace Museum and Taipei 101. These activities offer participants a multifaceted perspective of Taiwan’s culture and society. Through this form of international educational cooperation and cultural exchange, the University of Taipei hopes to provide students from diverse backgrounds not only with language learning opportunities but also with a deeper appreciation of Taiwan’s unique cultural landscape and historical heritage—leaving them with lasting and positive impressions of the island. This exchange program offers the visiting faculty and students from Shoolini University an unforgettable learning and cultural journey, while also demonstrating the University of Taipei’s strong commitment to promoting educational internationalization. We warmly welcome the faculty and students from Shoolini University and wish them a fruitful and successful stay in Taiwan!
