High School Study Abroad in Taipei, Taiwan

Experience what it takes to negotiate and maintain peaceful diplomatic relations. Tensions in East Asia continue to make headlines. This traveling program offers a unique chance to gain perspective on the region’s complex history and present-day challenges. Start in Seoul, engaging in debates on current issues. Then, see it all culminate in a final mock negotiation with other Global Navigators in Taipei, putting your new knowledge and debating skills to the test! Meet experts and deepen your understanding of how diverse groups resolve conflicts. Visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that separates North and South Korea. Tour the offices of political parties and diplomats in Taipei. Explore the long-term diplomatic actions taken to keep the region peaceful and stable. Soak in the variety each city offers, too—from the neon-lit streets and ancient palaces of Seoul to the lush gardens and skyscrapers of Taipei. On excursions, visit the city of Busan in southern South Korea and travel to Taiwan’s Kinmen Island. In these two countries, you’ll encounter distinct cultures, languages, and flavors and meet local teens to expand your views on diplomacy and sustaining peace.
