Department for Youth, Taipei City Government(青年局英文網)

Based on the shape of the letter "Y" in "Youth," use circles, squares, curves, and other geometric shapes to playfully outline the form of a lowercase "y." The combination of these three shapes represents diversity, inclusivity, and creative innovation, forming a confident smile-like figure that also echoes the visual impression of a QR code. The unit's name, in both Chinese and English, should be integrated into the design as a horizontal element, making the graphic and text a cohesive whole rather than using traditional text as a descriptive supplement. Harnessing the power of text can express the bold and confident characteristics of young people, resulting in a distinctive and trendy identity design.

Department for Youth of Taipei City Government was established on June 1, 2024, to support youth in diverse participation, career development, and international engagement, accompanying them in realizing their potential.

Key focuses of the Department for Youth include: 

（1）Promoting Diverse Youth Participation: Encouraging young people to take part in various activities, engage with public issues, volunteer in communities, and supporting student and youth organizations through subsidy programs.

（2）Supporting Youth Career Development: Assisting youth explore their interests and define their career goals through workplace internships and career empowerment programs, while providing entrepreneurial loans and support across different stages of business development.

（3）Facilitating Global Engagement for Youth: Organizing overseas internships, international volunteer programs, and internship opportunities for international students within the Department. These initiatives showcase the vitality and soft power of Taipei’s youth on the global stage, while bringing international perspectives and energy back to the city.

Taipei is not only a vibrant and international city but also a friendly city where youth can freely express their passions and turn their dreams into reality.
