To further deepen and expand the benefits of international visits, the interdisciplinary aesthetics project team, building on past experience and the commitment to promoting aesthetic education in Taiwan and connecting it with international standards, is organizing the "2026 Ministry of Education Aesthetic Education Teacher International Visit Program." This program will lead selected aesthetics teachers to Italy and the Vatican. Through studying the Italian art education system, the Reggio Emilia approach, and the Bruno Monari method, participants will systematically grasp the development of education in Italy. Simultaneously, a visit to the birthplace of the Renaissance will explore the progress of art and culture since the Renaissance. Through visits to international art biennials, art venues, World Heritage sites, and opera houses, participants will observe contemporary art trends under the influence of diverse cultural influences. Upon returning home, teachers will share their experiences or open their classes for observation, disseminating the benefits of international exchange, enhancing teachers' international perspectives, and guiding students to develop diverse interactive abilities, fostering their motivation and enthusiasm for self-directed learning, and cultivating core competencies.
