我們在處理的是資訊落差。
Beyond Taiwan 從 2020 年五月開始，七個人。到現在五年，接近三十位幹部，全部是學生，分布在七個國家。
我們相信什麼
在台灣，「出國念書」常被當成一件家裡有錢才能想的事。真正的門檻不只是錢，是資訊：你身邊如果沒有人走過，你連要問什麼都不知道。
所以很多人在還沒認真了解之前，就先把這個選項刪掉了。不是因為不適合，是因為沒有人告訴他這件事實際上長什麼樣子。
我們沒辦法幫任何人做決定。我們能做的，是讓他在做決定之前，先知道自己有哪些選擇。
「我們不是老師，也不是顧問。多數人只比你早走一兩步。」
免費是刻意的
學員不收費。這不是還沒開始收，是刻意的設計。
我們處理的是資訊落差。把資訊放在付費牆後面，就變成我們原本要解決的那個問題。
五年走過來
誰在做這件事
兩位 Co-President，六個 team，幹部每年換一批。
The gap we work on is information.
Beyond Taiwan started in May 2020 with seven people. Five years on, we are close to thirty organisers, all of us students, spread across seven countries.
What we believe
In Taiwan, studying abroad is still widely treated as something only well-off families get to consider. The harder barrier is not money alone. It is information: if no one around you has done it, you do not even know what to ask.
So students rule the option out before they ever look into it. Not because it does not suit them, but because no one has shown them what it actually involves.
We cannot make anyone's decision. What we can do is make sure they know what they are choosing between.
"We are not teachers and we are not consultants. Most of us are only a step or two ahead of you."
Free on purpose
Students pay nothing. This is not a fee we have yet to introduce. It is a deliberate design choice.
The gap we work on is information. Putting information behind a paywall would recreate the very problem we exist to solve.
Five years
Seven people in May 2020. Close to thirty organisers today, all students, across seven countries.
What happened in between, and how many people it reached, is on another page.
Who runs this
Two Co-Presidents, six teams, and a new group of organisers every year.
