2010 Youth Human Rights Camp in Taipei
2010 第五屆白色之路青年體驗營 招生中
2008年5月文建會主辦的人權藝術季活動中,「人權之路青年體驗營」引起熱烈迴響,來自全國各地六十幾位青年在綠島與上百位政治受難者相會,見證了二十多位本省、外省、客籍受難者長輩們半個世紀以前的青春歲月。同年的9月5日到7日,我們又踏上綠島的土地,進行第二屆營隊。2009年1月,我們將場景拉回台北,以更具縱深脈絡的「50-70年代白色恐怖」主題設計,舉辦第三屆營隊。同年七月,再次返回綠島舉辦第四屆營隊。四屆營隊總計約兩百六十位的年輕朋友,先後走入那段被封印的白色恐怖史…
許多學員在親身和受難者長輩接觸前,多對「白色恐怖」的真實性存疑。然而在親眼目睹昔日牢房、埋葬受難者長輩的墓地,以及親耳聆聽長輩們的故事後,在訝異中落淚、相信、並為這段歷史感到錐心之痛。
The 5th Youth Human Rights Camp will be held in Taipei from 2-6 February 2010. The camp is for students to learn about the history of White Terror in Taiwan with a focus on the 1950s to 1970s. The camp is based at the Jingmei Human Rights Memorial which was formerly a military detention centre used to hold political prisoners during the White Terror era. It will also visit other sites associated with White Terror in Taipei. Most importantly it is a chance to learn directly from some of the people who were imprisoned or suffered during the White Terror period.
Foreign students are welcome to apply. However, good listening skills in Mandarin Chinese are essential. I participated in the 4th camp on Green Island in July 2009. It was an incredible and moving experience.
More information about the camp and details of how to apply are in the blog post linked to above. It's all in Chinese. If you can't read it and are interested in attending find someone to help you fill out the application. http://greenislandstory.blogspot.com/
