About the Program
In a time of significant global challenges marked by rapid technological change, escalating climate crises, and the ever-present threat of conflict, the Lung Yingtai Cultural Foundation is committed to advancing peace, resilience, and constructive dialogue.
We believe that in times of intense value divides, dialogue is more critical than ever. The pressing question is how to seek common ground amidst differences and find consensus in diversity. Social resilience, we believe, is the bedrock of lasting peace—not just through economic and military strength, but through a sustainable environment, stable resource supply, and the commitment of each citizen.
Peace is a value that must be continually practiced and passed onwards. Through peace education, we aim to enhance society’s awareness, deepen understanding, and strengthen the capacity to safeguard peace, providing future generations with lasting hope and strength.
