Topic:
Building a Livable Space for Refugees
Date:
Friday 28th. May 2021 19:00-20:00 (GMT+8)
Introduction：
Reyhanlin is a city en route from Aleppo, Syria to Turkey. A place with only more than 100,000 local population now received an influx of 120,000 fleeing Syrian refugees. In addition to terrorist attacks, the rapid surge of population has confronted the city of Reyhanlin with many social issues, such as poverty, unemployment, lack of infrastructure. Furthermore, tension has been building up between the local Turkish population and Syrian refugees. Up to two thirds of refugees left in border cities are women and children. It is currently estimated that nearly 400,000 Syrian children have no access to medical care, let alone education. As conflicts drag on, the international attention for refugee issues has been waning. These asylum-seeking women and children are stranded.
The Taiwan Reyhanli Center for World Citizens is the first building project of international collaboration aiming to help refugees in Turkey. Some of the building materials came from the remaining parts of the bombed and destroyed Great Mosque of Aleppo, symbolizing inclusion and shared faith. After five years of negotiation and efforts, the team eventually enlisted support from the local government, NPOs and citizens. However, COVID-19 disrupted the supply of resources. In order to build a center for sustainable development which provides job opportunities and a livable environment for women and children. Architect Chiu Chen-yu launched a crowd-funding project through which he invites everyone to join him and reshape the world.

Introduction：
To facilitate better understanding of Southeast Asian migrant workers among senior school teachers and young people, 1095 Culture Studio worked with as textbook publisher in 2018 and launched Migrant Worker Life, officially introducing this board game/ teaching aid to the social studies scene of senior/ vocational high schools across Taiwan. In 2019, the effort was expanded to reach wider society, covering different age groups. 1095 Culture Studio's past experiences showed that it has been quite difficult for young people in Taiwan to connect with policy advocacy efforts and the studio's direct services to migrant workers. Instead, a soft approach like cultural promotional activity drew more active participation. Thus, combining their migrant worker support experience and innovative thinking, the studio designed a topic-oriented teaching aid with "easy to understand", "easy to engage", and "easy to promote" as their core approach. So, did it work after relevant lesson plans and teaching materials were implemented in real life educational setting? What is the next step if the studio wants to further enhance how students find connection with this issue and encourage actual expression and practice through actions? In this talk, our speaker will address the aforementioned questions and we look forward to your feedback.
為促進更多高校教師及青年對東南亞議題的認識，1095文史工作室在2018年針對中華民國教育部108課綱內容，與出版社合作發行《移工人生》 桌上遊戲，正式將此教材推廣至臺灣各高中職社會科，2019年更擴大推廣至各年齡層社會大眾。在過去1095的工作經驗中，移工政策倡議及直接性移工服務，對於臺灣青年人而言並非十分有感，然而軟性的文化推廣活動則相較參與踴躍，因此結合移工服務經驗及創新思維，為更多臺灣大眾設計「易理解」、「易參與」、「易推廣」的議題教材，為目前1095的核心發展方向，然而教育現場在使用過相關教材及教案後，效益如何？如何下一步提高學生與移工議題的連結性，以及接續進行行動訴求的表述和實踐呢？在此次講座中將與各位分享，請多多指教。
