"Street Tour" - Miscanthus's focus on social communication projects
Inspired by London's Unseen Tours, we started with "street tour guides" and have been training homeless people to become tour guides since 2014, allowing tourists to follow them to explore hidden corners of Taipei and learn their life stories in the process.
We hope that by organizing various activities, we can create an environment where different groups can freely communicate with each other, thereby creating an opportunity to dissolve prejudices and build a more inclusive society.

今天有太多的收穫！
