Washington D.C. and Taiwan Youth: From Online to Offline Gathering
華府、臺灣青年從線上到線下的相聚
左一排前起：FASCA D.C.諮詢導師李欣怡、臺北市松山家商應用英語科主任徐于婷、海華文教基金會執行長李欣龍
由財團法人海華文教基金會與FASCA DC、MGY (Millennial Global Youth) 基金會合作辦理「臺、美青年Meet-up」，日前邀集 FASCA DC 師生及臺北市松山家商師生計40人。這群臺、美兩地同學們，過去都是在線上進行英語學習活動，這是第一次的實體見面，有點像是”知識型的跨國網聚”。
FASCA D.C.諮詢導師李欣怡長期於海外支持並籌辦國際青年語言交換、文化外交活動，並擔任海華文教基金會發起的城市青年網絡 “OVERLAPPED @ D.C. Host"，共同促進臺、美青年社群互動與友誼，將臺灣的文化與生活，帶入美國當地主流社會，增進美國社會大眾對臺灣之認識。此次實體聚會以 “OVERLAPPED” 的核心意涵為主軸，邀請華府青年與臺灣學生，就臺、美兩地不同時空場景、興趣嗜好、生活習慣、價值主張…等面向，做創新的重疊，讓兩地之間客觀地感受「異同」。
臺北市松山家商應用英語科主任徐于婷表示，臺、美兩地青年，相互學習的不只是語言，更重要的是對彼此生活文化的認識與價值差異的理解，以及自然形成的跨文化友誼。新的一個學期將以 “OVERLAPPED” 主題來擬定實作項目，讓學生發揮創意，透過影片、照片在社群媒體上的串接、重疊，找出有趣的新事物。
海華文教基金會執行長李欣龍指出，僑界常談到「世代交替、傳承永續」，當大家還在想著培育青年接班、誰選下屆會長之際，青年們想的可能是DAO分散式自治組織(Decentralized Autonomous Organization)、Web3 (Web3.0)、NFT非同質化代幣（Non-fungible token）、DeFi去中心化金融（Decentralized Finance）…等，未來世代的角色扮演、發展模式、運行架構已是另一個新世界。

The Overseas Compatriot Culture and Education Foundation (OCCEF), in collaboration with FASCA D.C. and the Millennial Global Youth (MGY) Foundation, recently organized a "Taiwan-U.S. Youth Meet-up." The event brought together 40 teachers and students from FASCA D.C. and Taipei Municipal Sung Shan High School of Commerce and Home Economics (SSVS). This group of students from Taiwan and the U.S. had previously participated in English learning activities online; this event marked their first in-person meeting, resembling a "knowledge-based international net-pal gathering."
Sherry Li, a consulting mentor for FASCA D.C., has long supported and organized international youth language exchanges and cultural diplomacy activities abroad. Serving as the host for "OVERLAPPED @ D.C."—a city youth network initiated by the Hai-Hua Foundation—she works to promote interaction and friendship between Taiwanese and American youth communities. Her efforts aim to integrate Taiwanese culture and lifestyle into the American mainstream to enhance public understanding of Taiwan. Centered on the core concept of "OVERLAPPED," this physical gathering invited youth from Washington D.C. and students from Taiwan to explore innovative "overlaps" across different spatial-temporal settings, hobbies, living habits, and value propositions, allowing both sides to objectively experience their "similarities and differences."
Hsu Yu-ting, Director of the Applied English Department at SSVS, stated that youth from Taiwan and the U.S. learn more than just language from one another; more importantly, they gain an understanding of each other's cultural lifestyles and value differences, while naturally forming cross-cultural friendships. For the new semester, practical projects will be developed under the "OVERLAPPED" theme, encouraging students to use their creativity to discover interesting new things through the connection and overlapping of videos and photos on social media.
Li Shin-lung, CEO of the OCCEF, pointed out that while the overseas Chinese community often discusses "generational succession and sustainable heritage," and while elders focus on cultivating youth successors or electing the next chapter president, the youth are more likely thinking about Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO), Web3, Non-fungible tokens (NFT), and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The roles, development models, and operational frameworks of the future generation have already shifted into an entirely new world.
