(Central News Agency, reporter Zhao Liyan, Taichung, June 4) Twenty students from the junior high, senior high, and bilingual departments of the National Experimental High School at Central Taiwan Science Park (NNEHS) departed for Germany yesterday to visit their sister school, resuming in-person exchanges for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. NNEHS brought calligraphy tools and bubble tea ingredients to showcase the charm of Taiwanese culture during the exchange.
NNEHS issued a press release today stating that Principal Chin Wen-chih and Bilingual Department Guidance Section Chief Cheng Wei-yuan led 20 students from the junior high, senior high, and bilingual departments to Germany yesterday. Their first stop was a visit to the Taipei Representative Office in Germany, where Ambassador Ku Jui-sheng personally received them. Ku encouraged the students to "dare to ask questions, dare to speak up for your country, and firmly support friends in international relations."
Ku shared his "Three Immediate Actions": "Immediately forgive yourself, immediately forgive others, and immediately guard your body's password," encouraging students to pursue excellence while also learning to let go and take care of their physical and mental health.
NNEHS stated that it established a sister school relationship with Evangelisches Gymnasium Doberlug-Kirchhain in Germany in 2017, initiating mutual visits. Exchanges shifted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic but have resumed in person this year.
For this visit, to showcase the charm of Taiwanese culture and the spirit of mutual benefit, NNEHS prepared 20 sets of calligraphy tools (including ink grinding experiences and pre-made ink for writing Spring Festival couplets) and ample ingredients for freshly brewed bubble tea. The Taiwanese students personally led their German counterparts in two unique cultural workshops.
The delegation will also visit Prague, Czech Republic. During the pandemic, with the help of the Czech Senate Deputy Speaker and Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NNEHS, along with two other science park experimental high schools and three Prague schools, formed the "Taiwan-Czech High School Alliance." This time, they will visit their sister school, Jan Palach Private High School. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150604
