From a Multicultural Upbringing to Representing Taiwan: Alma’s Journey in Youth Diplomacy 🇹🇼🌏
We are proud to celebrate Alma, a third-year student in Ming Chuan University’s International Affairs and Diplomacy Program, who was selected for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ 2025 International Youth Ambassadors Exchange Program. As a youth ambassador, she was also received by President Lai Ching-te, marking a memorable moment in her journey of international engagement.
Born in Yunlin to a Taiwanese mother and an Italian father, Alma grew up in Italy before returning to Taiwan for high school. Her multicultural experiences have shaped her understanding of identity, belonging, and cross-cultural communication. Today, she is committed to bringing this perspective to diplomatic work and helping people around the world better understand Taiwan and its people.
At MCU’s fully English-taught International Affairs and Diplomacy Program, students connect academic learning with real-world international experience. Through global learning, language development, and diplomatic practice, we encourage students to take part in international exchange and public diplomacy initiatives.
Congratulations, Alma! We look forward to seeing you continue to build bridges across cultures and contribute to Taiwan’s engagement with the world. ✨
