我是「The Turning Point 翻轉點」創辦人Emily Liao,國際新聞議題一直是我們關注的事,這些事件未必發生在你我身上,但卻和我們息息相關。

我就讀薇閣中學,一直以來我持續在各地做志工教學服務、文化歷史導覽活動,以及國際時事教學、孩童寒暑假營隊活動等,在教學過程中,我明顯感受到了台灣孩子對於國際事件知識的缺乏,甚至是全世界都知道的重大時事,都是毫無頭緒、一知半解,深不知這些都離不開我們的國家和生活,但學校卻無法給我們相關知識和課程,每每想到這些,都讓我深刻地感到無力,這讓我意識到我們的國際素養應該向下紮根,國際知識應當就在我們身邊,而且從小就開始。

我和我的共同創辦人Vincent Ou Yang一起合作,他是個讓人非常信賴的夥伴,我們有著相同理念,從21世紀Generation Alpha孩子的觀點出發,帶領他們從新聞時事、國際關係、世界議題中增加國際知識,了解世界脈動;進而累積歸納論述及獨立思考的能力,激發出更多創新觀點,讓Generation Alpha的孩子為世界帶來更多知識的累積,文化包容和人文素養以及對世界的關懷。我們想要將自己的教學經驗和國際知識專長結合做出貢獻,我們決心想改變它!

I am Emily Liao, the founder of 「The Turning Point」. Reading international news has always been one of my greatest passions. These global events may not happen to you or me, but they are closely related to us or even affect our lives indirectly.

I study in Wego High School. I have been doing volunteer teaching, historical tour guide of Taiwan, as well as introducing current affairs etc. While I’m teaching the children, I clearly felt they lacked knowledge about international events. Even worldwide major events are half understood or even not known by the kids. Despite being aware of this existing problem, schools cannot provide students information regarding current affairs. However, I realized that reading and understanding international affairs should be a habit, and practiced from an early age, since it is important to be mindful of what is happening to our surroundings.

It is a pleasure to work with Vincent Ou Yang, the co-founder of this project, also a decent partner who I can rely on. We believe in the same notion where we stand in the perspective of the Generation Alpha, trying to see the world with their eyes. With the same point of view, we could increase their knowledge of international affairs and guide them through the changes in society. I want to share my experiences and knowledge with others and use my influence to make a difference in my surroundings.
