The International Youth Ambassadors from the Republic of China (Taiwan) will visit Houston, Texas from September 13 to September 19, 2015. During their stay, they will perform at the North Shore Senior High School of the Galena Park Independent School District at 7pm on Tuesday, September 15th, 2015 and at the Asia Society Texas Center at 7:30pm on Thursday, September 17th, 2015.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has conducted the International Youth Ambassadors Exchange Program since 2009. This program, which allows talented Taiwanese youths to participate in international affairs and broaden their horizons, has increased host countries’ understanding of Taiwan’s development in various sectors. This year, 160 students selected from more than 100 colleges and universities in Taiwan are divided into 10 groups of Youth Ambassadors. Travelling under the theme of “Youth From Taiwan, Compassion for ALL”, they will visit 35 countries and 41 cities. Through a wide array of exchanges and interactions, Youth Ambassadors will not only highlight the vitality and kindness of Taiwanese youth, but also demonstrate Taiwan’s important role on the international stage as a provider of humanitarian aid, promoter of cultural exchanges, and standard bearer of Chinese culture.
