謝謝所有參加7月27至28日「2021年SEASAT線上青年領袖營」的朋友們！今年青年領袖營的主題是「家園：在疫情時代的全球平等」，我們邀請到各領域的專家學者，包括AIT政治組官員黃光杰與美國交流計畫學友，帶領氣候變遷、公共衛生、移工問題、科技人權、社會創新與青年領袖等相關議題討論。線上參與需要更多的專注與交流，我們很開心看到參加學員主動參與討論。AIT感謝每一位講者分享他們的專業與見解，也謝謝專業的活動主持人與技術團隊，與我們這次的活動夥伴臺灣亞洲交流基金會 Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation 。每個人的參與都讓這個活動更順利。如同AIT文化官馬明遠在開幕時對學生說的，「你們也許不會在未來幾天就改變這個世界，但我相信，在未來數十年內，你們會是讓這個世界更永續、更和平、更繁榮、更公平的重要推手。」預祝每位參加學員前程似錦，更上一層樓！
We’d like to offer recognition and thanks to everyone who participated in the 2021 SEASAT (Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Taiwan) Online Youth Camp “Home: Global Equality In the Era of Pandemic.” From July 27 to July 28, 2021, a range of speakers, including AIT Political Officer Jason Hwang and U.S. government exchange alumni, led discussions about climate change, public health, migrant workers, technology and human rights, and held two inspiring sessions on social innovation and being a young leader. Online participation requires an extra level of concentration and engagement, and we were happy to see participants actively join in the discussion. AIT would also like to thank all the session speakers who shared their knowledge and insight, our professional moderator, the technical experts and our event partner Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation. Together everyone worked hard to make this event go smoothly. As AIT’s Cultural Affairs Officer Luke Martin mentioned during his opening remarks, “ You might not change the world in these next few days, but we are confident that in the decades to come, you are all going to play a role in making this place we call home more sustainable, peaceful, prosperous, and fair”. We would like to wish you good luck in your future success!
Nearly 40% of the 700,000 migrant workers in Taiwan are from Indonesia. We speak to Nick Calpakdjian, producer of the feature-length documentary “Help Is On The Way” (2020) from Indonesia that explores the nuances of being domestic caregivers workers in Taiwan. Stories of these migrant workers begin at a nanny school in West Java.
“Help Is On The Way” won Best Feature Documentary at the 39th Indonesian Film Festival (FFI). It premiered in Taiwan in May on Public Television Station. International labor migration is a global issue, and this is The Taiwan Take. Guest-host today is Katherine Wei, a Taiwan-based journalist with The Strait Times. She is on Twitter @Katherinewei508.
