The NTM International Docent Training Program aims to invite students to the English volunteer tour guide team of National Taiwan Museum and explore the rich culture and history of Taiwan. In this Program, you will be able to learn about the most iconic cultural heritage sites in downtown Taipei, and connect Taiwan's history with the landscape. You will find how historic architectures can be viewed as an expression of ideology, and how the modern Taiwanese society was shaped by the major historic events, and how your personal experience and culture can be incorporated into your own guided tours. What's more, it's also a great chance for you to meet people with different cultural backgrounds but with the same passion for museums and guided tours.
