Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is again sponsoring a special fellowship exchange program, Mosaic Taiwan, for "emerging US leaders" aged 20-35 who are interested in spending some time learning about Taiwan firsthand. The program lasts about three weeks, June 14-July 4, and includes a wide array of activities, including meetings with Taiwanese business, cultural, and political leaders and visits to museums, national parks, and of course the ubiquitous Taiwanese night markets, pictured above.
This is a new initiative of the Ma administration to try to cultivate an interest in Taiwan among young Americans headed for careers in policy or politics. The first group of fellows visited Taiwan in June and July 2014.
Note that there currently does not appear to be information about the application process on the program website. The application materials have instead been circulated via email; they are posted below, along with the official description of the program. The deadline to apply is February 21, 2015, via email to [email protected].
