FASCA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

FASCA (Formosa Association of Student Cultural Ambassadors) is a key cultivation program launched by the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC) in 2011 to strengthen connections with second and third-generation overseas compatriot youth.

Core Objectives and Training Content:

This program adopts a parallel approach of "learning" and "practice," with systematic training focusing on three main axes:

1. Local Training
2. Service in Connection with Expatriate or Mainstream Activities
3. Return-to-Taiwan Training Activities

Through systematic training, the program aims to cultivate overseas youth's understanding of Taiwan and cultural identity, gather friendly energy, and transform them into future expatriate talents and "Overseas Community Affairs Diplomacy Vanguards" who promote Taiwan.

Achievements and Development:

As of 2024, FASCA has trained over 8,043 participants.
