透過交流計畫，將台灣的文化特色與世界分享
Exchanges Are Honoring Cultural Heritage

你知道嗎? 過去75年來，美國政府提倡國際文教交流不遺餘力。跨國交流能促進人與人互相了解，並增加對其他國家文化與歷史資產的認識，進而形塑我們對世界的認知。每個文化都有其獨特的美麗，透過交流，我們可以將自己的文化特色與世界分享、吸收其他文化的養分，並讓世界更友好。如果有朋自遠方來，第一次造訪台灣，你會帶他體驗什麼台灣文化呢？請在下面留言並標註「#ExchangesAre honoring cultural heritage」，讓我們了解你心中驕傲的台灣文化。

The U.S. government promotes a wide-range of international cultural and educational exchanges. In 2015, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of U.S. government-sponsored exchanges. When we go on an exchange program, we make new friends, discover cultural and historical heritages, and enhance our understanding of different communities around the world and their unique histories. Every culture has its own beauty. Through people to people exchanges, we can share, learn, and make the world a friendlier place. If someone is visiting Taiwan for the first time, what unique historical places and cultural traditions would you share with him/her? Tell us your ideas in a comment below and add “#ExchangesAre honoring cultural heritage,” so we can learn what makes Taiwan culture unique. Join us as we explore the ways #ExchangesAre honoring cultural heritage.

美國在台協會馬啓思處長今天頒發「2015國際婦女勇氣獎」給楊婕妤女士，表揚她對弱勢團體的貢獻。楊婕妤女士為非營利組織「台灣關愛之家」的創辦人，為人類後天免疫缺乏病毒感染者和愛滋病患者提供中途之家以及許多支持服務。台灣關愛之家目前在全台四個縣市設有13所中途之家，為近一千名病友提供中途收容服務
