Reflections The 2023 cohort of Millennium fellows traveled to Taiwan for their study tour, meeting with government officials, private sector innovators, and civil society groups to discuss the challenges leaders contend with today.

In the face of adversity, true leadership comes to light. Recently, the head of Ukraine's Nobel Peace Prize-winning Center for Civil Liberties / Центр громадянських свобод, Oleksandra Matviichuk, led a powerful master class reflecting on the two-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. She was joined by four Ukrainian Millennium Fellows who are resiliently shaping the country's government, media, and business landscape - Olena Sotnyk, Denis Jatsyshyn, Alyona Nevmerzhytska, and Olga Zykova.

Discussing the evolution of their work provided a vivid reminder of the power of community in navigating times of crisis.

As our Taiwan Study Tour came to a close, the Fellows found themselves in a state of reflection while in Kinmen.

From the historical Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Company to the globally-minded BoCun Primary School, our cohort discovered the island's calm and resilient spirit. Seeing Taiwan through the eyes of its next generation left an air of hopefulness looking to the future of the region. Observing the Xiamen, China skyline from the Kinmen shores brought all our previous discussions to reality, zooming out to consider all the learnings and revelations Fellows were preparing to take home.

Reflecting on our incredible expedition, we resonated deeply with Taiwan’s vision to build bridges and foster conscious leaders. From engagements with President Tsai to local leaders, our fellows have gained rare insights and forged connections that will last a lifetime.

As we continue Fellowship programming, the bonds of this cohort will only continue to evolve. Stay tuned for the impact these experiences will have on their leadership paths ahead.

The study tour journey continued in Taipei, where Fellows engaged in a series of eye-opening government, business, and civil society meetings.

Ahead of upcoming Presidential elections in January, discussions with candidates and representatives of the DPP, KMT, and TPP provided range of perspectives on navigating Taiwan's political landscape. Meetings with 外交部 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROC（Taiwan）, 數位發展部moda（Ministry of Digital Affairs）, the National Development Council 國發會, 旺宏電子 Macronix, and a dialogue with civil society leaders described national and grassroots efforts around Taiwan, all emphasizing the importance of advocating local development while building global partnerships.

The undeniable highlight was our exclusive meeting with President 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen. Her reflections on leading with grace, humor, and humility in precarious times left a lasting mark on our cohort. Our time in Taipei was an exploration into the complexities of leadership, leaving fellows with a wealth of insights to discuss and carry forward.

Our annual Study Tour with the class of 2023 Millennium Fellows has recently come to a close. Follow along for updates from these highly anticipated ten days in Taiwan.

The program kicked off in Hualien for an introspective leadership retreat with our partners at Spencer Stuart. Fellows spent time learning more about their leadership styles, building community with each other, and preparing for the program ahead.

After a warm welcome from local government representatives, we were immersed in the rich indigenous history and culture at National D**g Hwa University(NDHU). Capped with hikes through Taroko National Park, these opening days laid the foundation for learning, laughter, and curiosity that guided the rest of the program.
