When the whole world had to face the severe challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am glad that the Center sought every effort to transfer the international training on-line in 2021. In 2022, the pandemic still lingered and Taiwan stuck to border control; therefore, the training was still on-line. In this year, four online international regular trainings were conducted, in which a total of 106 participants from 30 countries around the world had participated. General feedbacks from the participants all show high satisfaction. Investment of time and energy in the training courses is considered to be both worthwhile and fruitful.
Thanks to the international team of faculty and administrative staff for their endeavor to bring the Center’s core value into full play, even in such a difficult time. In addition to the online annual training courses, we spent great effort in upgrading the learning and living environment at the Center. It is hoped that when the in-person training started again, the participants coming from all over the world would enjoy and make the most out of their training experience in Taiwan.
The pandemic will eventually go away. We have witnessed that the people’s communication and learning manners are quickly changing. I am sure that my fellow colleagues would both extend our good tradition and keep progressing, to make even greater contribution to the world community
