Established in 2003, the TASAT was developed from a language class set up in Meinong, Kaohsiung which was for foreign spouses to learn the Chinese language. In addition, there were also empowerment programs that provided opportunities for immigrants to show their talents. TASAT has been serving immigrants and foreign workers for more than 20 years.

TASAT served as a north district mentoring team in the “2021 Immigrants’ Arts and Culture Promotion and Community Development Project”, mentoring 9 teams. The mentoring team mainly conducted on-site visits and helped teams to solve problems. At the same time, a series of workshops were held to teach everyone how to write a plan, implement the plan, and solve the problems.
The most valuable part is that every event is recorded in text and shared on the Facebook Fan Page of the TASAT. Even if you are unable to participate in the physical activities, you can still understand the content of the workshop through text.

Even though the program is over, the efforts made by participants would have a profound impact on the community and it is hoped that “Multiculturalism & Equality” can be achieved in the future.
