Yogyakarta, August 1, 2023 – The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), in collaboration with the Taiwan Center UGM, successfully organized an event titled “Taiwan Culture Sharing.” The event took place in the Meeting Room of the Department of Computer Science and Electronics, Building S1 Level 4, from 09:00 to 11:30.
The Taiwan Culture Sharing event was attended by a group of students from Tamkang University, Taiwan. As the name suggests, the students from Tamkang University shared their experiences about life as students in Taiwan. They enthusiastically shared various aspects, ranging from the academic environment to the unique urban life in the country.
One of the interesting topics presented by the Tamkang University students was about the most frequently used social media platforms in Taiwan. This topic caught the attention of the attendees because social media plays a significant role in daily life.
The Q&A session became one of the interactive moments during the event. Participants eagerly asked questions about various aspects of Taiwan, and one of the questions was about the most festive festival there. The Tamkang University students enthusiastically responded that the Lunar Festival or Mooncake Festival is one of the most lively festivals, usually held in September. This information expanded the participants’ insights into Taiwan’s rich and diverse culture.
Following the Q&A session, the event continued with a Forum Group Discussion (FGD) session. Participants were divided into several groups, and Tamkang University students accompanied each group for in-depth discussions on various topics. The discussions were enthusiastic, with some delving into academic life at their respective universities, others learning each other’s languages, and some discussing culture and the differences between Indonesia and Taiwan.
The Taiwan Culture Sharing event concluded with a group photo session to capture this precious moment. Afterward, all participants enjoyed a shared lunch as a bonding opportunity.
