Taproot Results 尋根文化交流計畫結果

Feature on Tap Root Cultural Exchange Program on Da Ai 2 TV.



The AUT visitors had a meeting at the Council of Indigenous Peoples in Taipei City on the last day.

The 2013 Tap Root Cultural Exchange Program ended on December 17th after the visitors from the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) boarded their airplane and departed Taiwan. There is still work to do to follow up with the supporters and submit a report to the Council of Indigenous Peoples and the Indigenous Peoples Cultural Foundation. Even though there were many activities, it is hard to pin down the tangible results of the program, as it was designed to plant the seeds for future cooperation. Much of the results are carried in the hearts and memories of the many participants. For now, we can provide a brief report on the results of our 2013 program.

The Maori visitors raised the interest and curiosity of many people in the communities that they visited. When they had the opportunity for interaction, they touched many hearts.

毛利參訪者的到來引起其參訪社群團體高度的興趣及好奇。因為此次交流機會，許多人的心深受感動。以下為此次「尋根文化交流計畫」之成果：

The second day of our program was the International Forum on Indigenous Film and Television Cooperation. The purpose of this part of our event was to give the students from New Zealand and Taiwan an opportunity to learn about the Film and Television industry in Taiwan and the current state of media cooperation. It was also an opportunity for them to learn more about the opportunities provided by the new ANZTEC agreement signed by Taiwan and New Zealand.

After a catered buffet dinner, the Taiwanese and Maori students worked together in the Communication Arts Building for the Workshop portion of the event. They were briefed by Tony Coolidge on the elements of a film proposal. They studied the text of the ANZTEC Agreement. Then they worked together on two teams to develop a story idea for a mock cooperative international film project. They were given the experience of what it was like to work with an international crew as if they had a project funded by ANZTEC. The process was a learning experience, and the participants shared the challenges and benefits of working with a production crew from another country.


在享用完自助式的午餐後，台灣學生與毛利學生在設計大樓為計畫的專題討論合作，在Tony簡短介紹完電影提案元素後，學生們研習台紐經濟合作協定，接著他們以分組方式進行，假設台紐經濟合作協定將資助他們的專案，隨後一起模擬建構國際電影合作專案的故事題材，學生們體驗到如何與國際團員合作。專題討論為一學習經驗的過程，參與的學生們與來自另一國土的團員們分享一起工作的挑戰及益處。

Our amazing volunteer interpreters provided the communication support for cooperation.
