The Human Library: Reading Lives, Tasting Culture, and Planting Seeds

 




如果中興大學的國際學生可以是真人圖書館的話,那這二週我們借了三本介紹印尼、巴基斯坦及德國的原文書來國際文化交流(ICE)的班上。透過遊戲、示範、簡報及問答的過程,師生們享受了教科書不會有的美好學習體驗,而同學們專注的眼神和笑容則是我的動力和成就感來源,下學期我們會再續借,就這樣來比較台灣和世界其他國家吧。

Have you ever "borrowed" a person instead of a book? I’ve always believed that the most profound lessons don’t come from textbooks; they come from connection. My ICE (International Culture Exchange) class at KMJH has transformed into a living, breathing "Human Library."

We invited international students from NCHU not just to give presentations but to share the vibrant colors of their home countries.
