時のタペストリーをアートで織りなす：台湾と日本の学生のコラボレーション
以時間為軸創意開啟臺日兩地的時光記憶課程
這課程交流計劃不僅是一個跨國文化分享的機會，更是對於教育者創新國際交流的里程碑。通過台日兩地學生的互動與創作，我們看到了藝術教育如何成為連結心靈的橋梁。這次交流讓學生們在不同的文化背景下，探索自身經驗與情感，並以藝術形式表達出來。他們學會了以更開放的視角看待世界，理解並尊重不同文化中的共通點與差異。這種教育模式突破了傳統課堂的界限，培養了學生的創造力與跨文化理解能力，為他們未來的學習與成長奠定了堅實的基礎。同時，這樣的計劃也為教育工作者提供了寶貴的經驗與啟發，讓我們看到了國際合作在教育中的無限可能。
This cross-cultural exchange program is more than just a cultural sharing event; it’s a milestone in innovative education. Through art, students from Taiwan and Japan have connected on a deeper level, exploring their identities and fostering global perspectives. This program has not only enriched students’ lives but also inspired educators to think beyond traditional classroom boundaries.
光音迴響：時光軌跡與幸福家族聲音敘事特展 – 歷程回顧
Echoes of Melody: Tracing Time and Capturing Family Stories in Sound and Light
由台灣萬福國小與日本奈良女子大學附設小學共同參與。該計劃通過藝術課程，讓學生們以「時光軌跡」為主題軸線，創作反映自身成長與家族記憶的作品。2023年10月啟動的跨國合作，促成了多次線上會議、課程交換與實地訪問。2024年6月，雙方在台北紀州庵舉行了成果展，展示了台日學生的創作，並舉辦了公開課、座談會與工作坊。本計劃不僅促進了學生的跨文化理解與藝術創造力，亦為教育工作者提供了跨國合作的寶貴經驗，展現了藝術教育在培養全球公民素養中的深遠影響。
A collaborative journey between Wanfu Elementary School in Taiwan and Nara Women’s University Affiliated Elementary School in Japan, centered around the theme of “Time Tracks," invited students to explore their personal growth and family memories through art. Launched in October 2023, this cross-cultural initiative fostered numerous online interactions, curriculum exchanges, and in-person visits. In June 2024, the culmination of this journey was a joint exhibition at the Kishuian in Taipei, showcasing the students’ creative expressions. Through public classes, panel discussions, and workshops, this event further deepened the cross-cultural connections formed. This project has not only enriched the lives of the students but also served as a beacon of inspiration for educators, demonstrating the transformative power of arts education in cultivating global citizens.
2021: A New Chapter Begins 初啟篇章
三年前，我們懷抱著一份對家族聲音記憶的熱情，開始了系列課程。這段旅程中，我們得以在2021年底參加寶藏巖國際藝術村的「冬季開放日」（2021/12/4-12/19）。那次展出如同一個夢的開端，也讓我們燃起了將這課程推向海外交流的希望。展覽後，我們持續優化和調整內容，期待著有一天能夠帶著這份來自家族的聲音記憶，與世界各地的人們分享。
Three years ago, fueled by a passion to preserve our family’s auditory memories, we embarked on a series of courses. This journey culminated in a remarkable opportunity to participate in the Treasure Hill Artist Village’s ‘Winter Open House’ in late 2021 (December 4-19). This exhibition marked the beginning of a dream and ignited our hope to expand this course through international exchange.
Following the exhibition, we continued to refine and adjust the course content, anticipating the day when we could share these cherished family sounds with people around the world.
October 2023: The Start of Formal Exchange 正式交流的開始
經過多方努力，2023年10月3日，我們迎來了這場跨國交流的重要時刻。當天，我們與幾位來自日本的尊敬藝術家和美術教育工作者，Qenji、服部先生（Mr. Hattori）以及山添先生（Mr. Yamazoe），進行了一次充滿熱情的線上會議。在此之前，我們花了大量時間進行Q&A文件的交換，深入探討課程的主軸和細部計劃。服部老師敏銳地察覺到台日學生之間的文化差異，遂提議以「時光軌跡」作為雙方創新課程的核心概念。
After much effort, we reached an important milestone in our cross-national exchange on October 3, 2023. On this day, we held an enthusiastic online meeting with several esteemed artists and art educators from Japan, including Qenji, Mr. Hattori, and Mr. Yamazoe. Prior to this meeting, we spent considerable time exchanging Q&A documents to delve deeply into the core themes and detailed plans of the curriculum. Mr. Hattori, with his keen awareness of the cultural differences between Taiwanese and Japanese students, suggested that “Time Tracks" become the central concept for our innovative courses on both sides.
2023年12月： Rolling Out the Course 課程落地
2023年10月-12月，這一概念在台日兩地的課程中具體落地。奈良女子大學附設小學開展了名為「生命軌跡 Life Tracks」的課程，學生們以過往的生命經驗和學習成長的感受進行藝術創作。而在台灣的萬福國小，則以「幸福家族聲音敘事 Family Stories and Voices」和「時光軌跡光桌 Time Tracks Light Table」為主題展開課程。隨後，在2024年1月底，我們首次赴日進行了課程交換和學習交流。
In the latter half of 2023, our concept was implemented in both Taiwan and Japan. Nara Women’s University Elementary School introduced a curriculum titled “Life Tracks," encouraging students to explore their personal journeys through artistic expression. Concurrently, Wanfu Elementary School in Taiwan conducted workshops centered around “Family Stories and Voices" and “Time Tracks Light Table." A reciprocal visit to Japan was undertaken in late January 2024 for the purpose of educational exchange.
2024年1月： A Cross-Cultural Exchange in Japan 日本之行
2024年1月29日，我們一行六人，帶著故事燈和學生作品來到奈良。三日內，我們觀摩了「生命軌跡 Life Tracks」課程的第5至第8節，並對日本學生的創作進行了深入訪談，這些寶貴的資料對我們後續的比較研究提供了極大幫助。1月31日，在學校的安排下，我們展示了故事燈，並分享了台灣孩子的家族聲音記憶，還舉行了故事燈課程，讓奈良的孩子也創作了屬於他們的故事盤，這些作品後來被交換並展示於台灣與日本。
A delegation of six visited Nara, Japan on January 29th, 2024, to engage in a cross-cultural exchange. The primary focus was to observe and learn from the “Life Tracks" program, particularly lessons 5-8. In-depth interviews with Japanese students provided rich data for comparative analysis. Subsequently, a workshop was conducted, introducing the concept of story lamps and facilitating the creation of personal narratives among Japanese students. The resulting artworks were exchanged between the two countries.
Imagine the excitement as Nara kids crafted their own unique story plates, each telling a personal tale. They were captivated by the stories from Taiwan, shared through our magical story lamps. As a special token of our exchange, we swapped the lamps, allowing the Nara kids to delve into the stories of Taiwanese children.
2024年3月：A Virtual Reunion 線上交流
回到台灣後，我們各自繼續進行後續課程。並在2024年3月4日，於台灣時間早上8時40分（日本時間9時40分），兩邊的學生進行了線上交流，分享彼此的故事與創作，這次交流更是將我們的連結拉得更近。
Following our in-person exchange, we continued our journey online. On March 4th, students from both Taiwan and Japan connected virtually to share their progress. This online reunion deepened our cross-cultural bond.
2024年6月： A Historic Showcase 績效展出
終於，在2024年6月8日至14日，我們的課程成果於台北市紀州庵這座充滿歷史韻味的古蹟中展出。展覽分為靜態與動態兩部分：靜態展覽包括「幸福家族聲音敘事」、「時光軌跡光桌」以及來自日本的「生命軌跡」，而動態展覽則包括開幕式與祝禱詩歌朗誦、日本學者老師座談會和故事工作坊。
The historic Kishu An in Taipei served as the perfect backdrop for our exhibition, held from June 8th to 14th. Visitors experienced a blend of the old and new as they explored static displays like “Family Stories and Voices" and engaged in dynamic activities such as a storytelling workshop and panel discussion with Japanese scholars. Our static exhibition included “Family Stories and Voices," “Time Tracks Light Table," and the Japanese “Life Tracks."
2024年6月12日：A Global Art Connection 跨國公開課
在2024年6月12日上午，萬福國小安排了來自日本的服部真也老師與陳雨禾老師，共同為台灣的孩子們進行了一堂跨國公開課。這場細膩的課程交流，展示了兩國文化與美術教育的差異與共鳴，並獲得了媒體的廣泛報導。
On June 12th, we had a special treat: a joint art class taught by Mr. Shinya Hattori from Japan and Ms. Yuhe Chen. Students from Wanfu Elementary School had the chance to learn about Japanese and Taiwanese art cultures. This unique cross-cultural experience even caught the attention of the media!
A Journey of Learning and Growth 結語
這場名為「光音迴響：時光軌跡與幸福家族聲音敘事特展」的旅程，不僅是一段跨越時空的藝術探索，更是台日兩國孩子們用藝術牽起的心靈連結。這次的經歷將成為我們未來行動研究的重要基礎，讓我們持續探索、成長，並以更豐富的視角面對未來的挑戰與機會。
Our “Echoes of Time" exhibition was a valuable learning experience. It was a testament to the power of art to connect people across cultures. This project has set the stage for future endeavors, inspiring us to continue exploring new ways to foster creativity and innovation.
