[2026 Mei You Ji Summer] Youth Urban Cultural Practice Project - August Session

[2026 Mei You Ji Summer | Youth Urban Cultural Practice Project - Taipei Cultural Decoding Mission] This summer, let's rediscover Taipei together! Through guided walks in the three major cultural districts of Dadaocheng, Monga, and Dalongdong, combined with traditional architectural aesthetics, urban observation, and youth team practice, high school and college students will learn to 'read the city.' The activity includes indoor courses, outdoor exploration, and a final presentation. Outstanding proposals may have the opportunity to be transformed into public-interest guided tours, becoming true transmitters of city stories. Limited to 20 participants, small-group deep interaction.

Activity Highlights:
✦ Truly step into Taipei's three major cultural districts
This course will physically visit:
Dadaocheng | Dihua Street District
Monga | Bopiliao District
Dalongdong | Taipei Confucius Temple
Through district walks, architectural observation, and local stories, understand the historical context of Taipei's urban development.

✦ Learn to 'read' Taiwanese traditional architecture
This is not just about taking photos for social media. You will begin to understand:
The symbolic meaning of stone lions
Temple spatial layout
Traditional architectural decorative arts
Ridge divine beasts and cultural symbols
Taiwanese folk belief aesthetics
When you know how to read the symbols, the city becomes completely different.

✦ From participant to transmitter of city stories
The most special aspect of this project: the final outcome is not a report.
Instead, it is: 'Youth Urban Public-Interest Guided Tour Proposal'
Participants will work in groups to complete a city cultural tour plan. Outstanding proposals will have the opportunity to be formally listed with the assistance of Mei You Ji and opened to the general public for free participation in the form of 'public-interest guided tours.'
Let students truly become: 'Transmitters of city stories'
