臺東國際學伴交流 拓展下一代國際視野及提昇國際觀

為促進臺東縣國際交流發展，在臺東縣國際事務推動委員一青妙牽線下，臺東縣金峰鄉介達國小與日本茨城縣大子町生瀬小學結為「國際學伴」，並於10月28日展開臺日小學視訊交流。活動中雙方先分別介紹自己學校，生瀬小學以圖片向介達國小的學生們介紹校園與周邊環境，而介達國小則是帶來精彩的歌舞來展現文化，接下來兩校學生各自分享最喜歡的食物及課程等，臺日雙方的小朋友都度過了非常愉快的時光。

To promote the development of Taitung’s International Companions for Learning program, under Tae Hitoto’s assistance, Jieda Elementary School of Jinfeng Township Taitung and Daigo Choritsu Namase Elementary School have become international companions for learning. The two elementary schools participated in an online video conference on October 28. During the conference, the two schools took turns introducing their schools. The Choritsu Namase Elementary School used pictures to show the students from Jieda Elementary school their classroom and surrounding environment. Jieda Elementary used dance and music to showcase their culture. The two schools then shared their favorite foods and subjects. The children from Taiwan and Japan enjoyed a lovely time together.

大子町的地理環境跟臺東有很多相似之處，皆有很多自然美景的觀光地區；而介達國小及生瀨小學兩校各有其發展特色，很適合相互交流。例如生瀨小學校長清水洋太郎擅長資訊及科技教育（ICT，Information and Communication Technology），該校的教育理念是結合ICT 以及自然環境教育推動學習，例如利用google chat（google workspace）授課，教學團隊已有豐富的視訊教育交流經驗：介達國小位於排灣族文化濃厚的金鋒鄉，學校計劃從藝術交流切入，包含分享原住民的花環、陶藝、月桃編織等工藝技巧，未來還可以計畫傳統歌舞互動學習，此外也能推廣臺東的食農課程，像是小米文化、紅藜、洛神花等。

There are many similarities between the geographical situation of Daigo and Taitung. Both of these locations boast beautiful natural scenic tourist destinations. Jieda Elementary and Choritsu Namase Elementary have both developed their strengths which makes the partnership perfect. For example, the principal of Choritsu Namese Elementary school, Shimizu Yotaro, is experienced in Information and Communication Technology. The school’s teaching theology incorporates ICT and Environmental Education. The school uses Google Chat and Google Workspace in their classrooms, for example. The education team has rich experience using virtual education. Jieda Elementary is situated in Jinfeng Township which is made up mainly of Paiwanese people. The school focuses on arts, including sharing the aboriginal floral lei, clay art, shell ginger weaving, and other handicrafts. The school has plans to teach traditional dance and also hopes to promote Taitung’s food and farming courses, such as introducing millet, red quinoa, and roselle flower.

是次臺日兩校師生交流活動可以作為未來交流及訪問的基礎，相信隨著臺日兩地緊密的互動，可以為兩地學童提供良好學習機會，共同拓展下一代國際視野及提昇國際觀。（圖片來源：臺東縣政府）

This interactive event will serve as a base for future interviews and collaboration. We trust that as Taiwan and Japan’s relationship grows closer, there will be many opportunities for students from both countries to learn from each other and promote the next generation’s international view and enhance their international outlook.
