In collaboration with the Taiwan Youth Initiatives in Europe, join us for a screening of the movie documentary Invisible Nation!

Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary Invisible Nation (2023), directed by Vanessa Hope. This documentary offers a unique look into the presidency of Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan’s first female president, and explores the island’s recent developments through moments of leadership, identity, and public life. Filmed over seven years with rare behind-the-scenes access, Invisible Nation presents a thoughtful and artistic perspective on Taiwan’s place in today’s global landscape.

After the 85-minute screening, we invite you to a Taiwanese-style apéro – with bubble tea! Take this opportunity to meet fellow students and enjoy a taste of Taiwan’s vibrant culture.
