The world is smaller than we think – kids experience Taiwanese culture through exchange program

By Becky Ginos

BOUNTIFUL—A group of 15 students from the Davis School District and a small group of principals had the opportunity this summer to visit Taiwan and see what they’re doing in their schools and daily life. The visit was part of the Taiwan International Youth Exchange Association program that brings Taiwanese students here for 10 days during the school year and then students from the district go to Taiwan for three weeks at the beginning of the summer.
