WELCOME LETTER July 1st, 2015 Dear Global Youth Institute Students, Host Families, Alumni, and Teachers:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Global Youth Institute in Taipei, Taiwan. This year we have students from Taiwan, Russia, Germany, and the United States who will come together to continue pursuing the mission of GYI: to create a community of international learners who cooperatively seek solutions to global issues and to develop a sense of global citizenship. This year’s theme was created in consultation with Taiwanese alumni and is entitled “Redefining: Trends, Challenges, and Possibilities for the 21st Century”. This year’s theme is purposely abstract so that students will have the opportunity to tailor the theme to their interests, and our hope is that students will take an interdisciplinary approach to examining unique issues facing our increasingly globalized world. Some of the potential topics to be explored are education, public health, architecture, entrepreneurship, media, and many other possible topics. Our schedule includes a retreat within the first few days of arriving and then a combination of collaborative and experiential learning throughout Taipei and greater Taiwan. Our agenda includes a variety of experiences both inside and outside the classroom-from Whitewater Rafting to discovering Museums to walking through the famed Ningxia Night Market, students will have a number of eclectic experiences together that will give them a greater appreciation of the diverse culture of Taiwan as well as the cultures of each of the countries participating in GYI this year. These collective experiences will also help us fulfill our goal of exploring unique challenges in the 21st Century, and at the end of our time together students will use their experiences and new friendships to propose
a plan or project that “redefines” an important global topic.
This year’s Global Youth Institute would not have been possible without the support and hard work of a number of individuals, groups, and institutions throughout the world: Friendship Force Taipei, Mr. Nick Wu and all of the excellent GYI staffers in Taiwan, Des Moines Public Schools, all of our wonderful Taiwanese host families who have graciously accepted to welcome us into their homes for our stay in Taiwan, and last but not least the students for their willingness to take a risk and expose themselves to new people and ideas. Again, welcome to the Global Youth Institute 2015 in Taiwan and I look forward to creating lifelong friendships.
Sincerely,
Dan Swanson, Interim-Director Global Youth Institute
M O R F R E T T E L A 總召的話 睽違九年，我們很高興的宣布，Global Youth Institute (GYI) 終於又再次回 到台灣，在籌備小組長達半年的籌劃，今年我們邀請了來自美國、德國、俄 羅斯以及台灣共 26 位高中學員，以及三位國際教師和我們一起參與為期三週 的課程活動。 今 年 GYI 2015 Taiwan 的 主 題 為「Redefining: Trends, Challenges, and Possibilites in 21st century.」世界變化的速度，遠遠超過多數人的意識，過往 成功經驗全被翻盤，新的機會在哪？我們希望藉由今年精心設計的課程及活 動，讓學生實際體驗「重新定義」的概念。除了有 Design Thinking（台大不 一樣思考社）帶來整天的 workshop，以一個創意與設計的思考方式，目的在 於為各種議題尋求創新的解決方案，而能夠為未來創造更多可能性。還有透 過 GYI 校友邀請到台大電機系葉丙成教授來分享「翻轉教室」當出發想的動 機及概念，讓 GYI 學員了解到如何以一個不同的觀點，透過創新思維來解決 問題，這也是我們最希望帶給學員的收穫。但光是了解動機發想還不夠，更 重要的是有實踐的能力，因此我們也安排 FabLab( 數位製造實驗室 )，提供每 個學員將想法概念轉換成現實的能力。 長達半年的準備期，要感謝的人實在太多！首先要感謝台大公衛系詹長 權教授作為我們的指導教授，並且讓我們可以使用公衛大樓進行課程演講以 及惜別晚會；全球衛生中心專任助理林亭佑協助我們行政事宜，還犧牲自己
NICK
寶貴的休假來支援我們的活動說明會。中華民國國際友誼團台北俱樂部會長 楊惠菁支援接待家庭，以及分享其自身接待經驗，讓我們的接待品質能夠更 提昇。還有負責照顧學員的接待家庭，貢獻自身的時間及精力，帶他們了解 到台灣美麗的一面。最後當然要由衷的感謝所有參與籌備活動的 GYI 歷年校 友，營期中的每個細節，都是你們花了數個月精心籌備出來的成果。看著你 們一邊準備期末考，一邊還要處理活動內容，也不見你們有一絲怨言。謝謝 你們的努力，分享共同的理想。GYI 的路上，有你們，真好！ 相信在接下來的三個星期，大家都會在台灣這座小島上，留下美麗難忘 的回憶。 Thank you, each and every one of you, for making GYI 2015 possible.

In my spare time, I like watching movies and TV series, especially agent series, because I’ve always had a dream to be a FBI or agent of shield. That sounds sort of crazy and ridiculous, right??

(I’m the left one, wearing light blue T-shirt) Hi, my name is Louis (Chinese name is Lu, Yi-Yang ). I’m 18 years old and I’m admitted to law school of National Chengchi University. All right, let me tell you who exactly I am in a leisurely way J. I like almost all kinds of sports(just for fun, not very professional), watching movies(Sci-Fi movies are awesome!!), taste wonderful food (BTW, Taiwan has so many kinds of street food which are very cheap and delicious). When it come to GYI2015, the most important thing for me is to make friend with you, introducing and helping you understand and experience Taiwan much deeper and having a fantastic summer. And I hope one day I could visit your country with you, seriously ! I really want to do it! Maybe we can get together again in… 5 or 10 years later(or shorter).
IV STUDENT Taiwan-Ian Huang
Out of all the students in GYI 2015, I’m probably the shortest boy and the youngest of all the participants. But, going from only 9th grade to 10th grade doesn’t mean that my IQ is as low as the number of characters in my first name. In fact, I am curious about all the things around me, whether geographic or scientific, absorbing information like a sponge is to water. I like to capture the world’s finest moments through photography, through the mere bits of light shining through my humble iPhone lenses. On the other hand, I express myself with music. I’m nerdy in some extent, but I’m outgoing and optimistic. Unfortunately, I laugh at the worst things, and my puns are bad, so that’s something you’ll definitely see in me for the next few weeks. I look forward to GYI and getting to know everyone :)
Taiwan-Eve Lin
Hello everyone of gyi 2015, My name is Lin Yu Fen, and you can also call me Eve. I was made in Taiwan in 1997.07.22. I describe myself as an outgoing and laid-back weirdo because i tend to be who I am. My friends always describe me as the most openminded person they have ever met so don't hesitate to talk to me because i will never judge anything i don't understand. I love throwing myself out of my comfort zone and doing crazy things so if you are going to try something exciting or maybe stupid, I can always be your best partner. In my spare time, I like playing sports, watching korean romance drama, and traveling around the world by google earth. I am also a vegetable maniac because i can't live even one day without it, and onion and potato are my favorite. I signed up gyi 2015 because i want to share my counterparts the beauty of my hometown and at the same time learn something new from you. I am really looking forward to create the most extraordinary gyi 2015 with you all.

Although I am only 19 years old, but I can promise that I really put in all the effort I can (and more! :-D) into planning this meaningful summer program. During the past six months, my team and I have put in countless hours of hard work trying to host a fantastic GYI 2015, all because we really want to share what GYI has gave to us—the moments, the memories, the friendship, the entire unforgettable intercultural experience—to the next GYI, and let the love pass on and on!

What is 'eco' about Eco-Cha? Small Scale - Family operated and smaller farm s a llo w f o r spec i a l t y st a nd a rd s of quality control. These farmers have the most investment and concern for their land and their produce. Tradition - Family-run farms who employ traditional hand-processed methods have less environmental impact and are maintaining their product value by producing premium tea. Source Direct - No intermediary retailing, shipping, and storage.
Nick Fothergill Nick has been living and working in Taiwan for the last 10 years. Nick and Andy met in Taiwan, and have been good friends for many years, living in the same neighborhood and supporting each other in common interests.

Redefining Thinking NTU Design Thinking Club
Design Thinking is a methodology to solve problems with a creative, human-centered and failure-embracing mindset, which is applicable to a variety of fields. Design Thinking exercises empathy, creativity and the ability of rational analysis to dig for user's hidden needs and insights, which assures that the user's needs are fully met while the problem is solved. Different from Analytical Thinking, Design Thinking emphasizes on “adding on other's Ideas," which eliminates the fear of sharing and encourages members to be involved in the process of thinking and come up with crazy thoughts, often becoming the foundation of finding the most innovative and ground-breaking solutions. In short, with such mindset, Design Thinking is a way to bring better ideas and more beautiful things to the society.
