Step out of the classroom, step into the real world, and let action become your story. The "Taipei Outdoor Action Youth Grand Tour Point" is operated by the Pomona Education Innovation and Promotion Association (PEVA).

Four Grand Tour Activities by the Association: 1. Wild Walk 2026 Inviting outdoor creators to join you, turning mountain trails into real conversations about life choices. From Taipei's suburban forests and the Northeast Coast to the century-old Tamsui-Kavalan Trails, and all the way to Spain's thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. 2. Mountain Readers・Embodied Mountain Learning Co-creating long-term outdoor education growth pathways with schools, with age-appropriate designs from kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high to senior high school. 3. Real World Action Pathways Three-day themed action learning experiences tailored for junior high, senior high, and young adults: Ocean Conservation, Mountain Conservation, Local Connection, Cross-Cultural Action, Life Care, and Urban Public Engagement. 4. Walk Into Taiwan Inviting companions who have truly traveled the world to bring international youth into Taiwan's mountains, seas, ancient trails, and daily life—not introducing Taiwan, but letting people walk into Taiwan.
