The International Volunteer Student Society of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology organized the TWO-gather International Cultural Experience Camp In Chumen Elementary School, Baihe District, Tainan. In order to expand the scope of students’ knowledge about other countries and inspire students’ interest in learning English, STUST prepared a series of foreign cultural experiencing programs and lively English courses so as to help students learn English and acquire knowledge in a relaxed atmosphere of fun. Volunteer members of international communities were also invited to share their experiences this summer in the Philippines so as to disseminate the core value of volunteer services, TWO-gather International Cultural Experience Camp not only allowed children to better understand the significance of volunteering activities but also foster children teamwork through group activities to make them understand the importance of interacting with people.

TWO-gather international cultural experience Camp was directed by the Office of Extracurricular Activity, STUST, and coordinated by Bo-Wei Lin of International Volunteers Student Society. Bolstered by the society’s planning and implementation, coupled with their rich experience in serving, the camp was fully prepared. The activities proceeded so smoothly that the school, the parents, and the students gave the society great praises. In planning the activities, international volunteer members learned not only how to complete an activity plan alone but also how to develop capabilities of communication and coordination. Such intangible assets, obtained through training and volunteer services, are the most valuable of all.
