The first 2020 Messengers of Peace Taiwan-Local Coordinators Training was held on 29 August 2020 by The General Association of the Scouts of China in cooperation with the Hualien Scout Council.

Leading the event was MoP NSO Coordinator Sherman Sheng with 26 partners who par- ticipated in the event. The MoP local coor- dinators training targeted multicultural and international understanding so that young people learn to respect and appreciate multi cultures.

Another important aspect of this training is understanding the relationship between health and environment in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“This activity has benefited me a lot. It took us step by step to understand the significance of this training. In the interactive course, the host led us to use practical actions to under- stand the four major processes of MoP, and

to solve problems that will occur in actual application. I look forward to participating in such activities again”, said Wu Rongjun of the Hsinchu City Mountain Breeze Scout Team.

Another participant, Lin Qunyao, said, “I learned about the 17 Goals and the signifi- cance of SDGs. I hope that I will soon have the opportunity to cooperate with other local NGOs to maximize the power of MoP.”
