The TaiwanICDF held its first International Cooperation Development Summer Camp in 2010. This event proved to be a great way of enhancing students’ knowledge of international cooperation and development and helping Taiwanese and international students to get to know each other better. Participants told us that they’d gained a practical understanding of the issues concerning cooperation and development around the world, and broadened their international point of view.

Following the success of the event over the past three years, we’ve decided to expand this year’s camp and open 100 places for those who are interested in joining the event. We’ll also be inviting a number of the younger members of staff from embassies here in Taiwan to attend, as well as new personnel from the TaiwanICDF.

This year’s camp will run from July 17 to 22 . The deadline for registration is May 31 and the event is open to students from Taiwan International Cooperation Alliance (TICA) universities who are interested in issues relating to international cooperation and development. All courses will be taught in English.

The curriculum will cover a number of international issues, initially taught by an instructor and then moving on to student-led discussions, debates and brainstorming designed to engage and inspire critical thinking. Scholarship alumni students, senior diplomats and staff from Taiwanese embassies will be on hand to share their experiences and raise participants’ knowledge and interest in international affairs. The more academic side of things will be balanced with recreational activities designed to encourage team building, communication and coordination.

If you are a student at a TICA university, to take part in this camp just download the application form, fill it in and return to Ms. Elisa Chang at the TaiwanICDF.

Tentative course outlines showing the full camp schedule are attached below. If you need further information you can also contact Ms. Elisa Chang at 02-2873-2323, ext. 610 (e-mail: yc.chang@icdf.org.tw).

We will announce the admission list of the camp no later than June 20.
