—About the Program—
Culture is an important foundation for regional prosperity and serves as a channel for communication in civil society and daily life. The diversity of cultures in Asia is a fundamental force in fostering regional prosperity and stability. Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation (TAEF) is dedicated to promoting exchanges among Asian cultural sectors, cultural media institutions, and art and cultural leaders to highlight the transnational connections within the Asian cultural sphere. TAEF collaborates with multiple cultural and artistic platforms and works with relevant cultural institutions in Asia to promote cultural exchange programs. We have also signed memorandums of understanding (MOU) with like-minded organizations such as the National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF) and the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies (VICAS).
