Taiwan’s engaged youth
The 2014 Sunflower Movement was a student-led protest demanding transparency and civic engagement.
Being the largest civil disobedience in Taiwan since the 1980s, it sparked a new era of youth activism in Taiwan.
Many student groups and civil society coalitions emerged from the movement, creating lasting platforms for Taiwans youth to engage with the public on social and political issues.
