To provide high school and vocational students as well as NGO youth workers with a deeper understanding of Taiwan's judicial reform and wrongful conviction issues, and to actively cultivate and encourage them to become seeds of youth legal education, the Taichung Office of the Judicial Reform Foundation, in collaboration with Hsuan Chuang University, the Department of Law at Providence University, and the National University of Kaohsiung Legal Aid Club, organized the "A Challenge from the National White Paper on Judicial Reform" study camp during the summer vacation. It is hoped that through accessible courses and activity designs, young students will gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the aforementioned issues.
