VIS International Experimental Education in Taipei has commenced its third European educational tour, with the first stop in Vienna, Austria. Through international visits, hands-on experiences, and cross-cultural exchanges, students are developing a global perspective and fostering the qualities of responsible global citizens. Upon arriving in Austria, the students had the privilege of meeting with Taiwan's Ambassador to Vienna, Ms. Katherine Chang. Ambassador Chang participated in a student-led interview, encouraging them to embrace lifelong learning, step out of their comfort zones, set goals, challenge themselves, and cultivate critical thinking and an open mind. She emphasized the importance of mastering essential skills while encouraging students to maintain a broad and open perspective in facing the future. She also recognized their keen interest in international affairs.

VIS students have previously visited numerous countries and cities, engaging with diplomats and professionals from various sectors, including government, business, and academia. These experiences have enhanced their communication skills and deepened their understanding of global issues. VIS remains committed to providing diverse learning opportunities, aligning with global standards, and preparing the next generation to compete on the world stage.
