簡介 (
如果是不大認識葉門的朋友可能會覺得這個標題下得太武斷，但當了解實地情況後或許會覺得有過之而無不及，葉門戰爭始於2014年末，根據聯合國和國際非政府組織的報告，葉門境內超過 #七成人口 (約2070萬人)需要人道救援，兒童人數佔超過一半，1600萬人受 #飢餓 所苦，300萬人 #被迫流離失所。
境內大量基礎設施受到破壞，一個人口約40萬的港口城市Al-Hudaydah內，三分之一 #學校關閉，超過6萬孩童失學；僅有一半的醫療設施能夠運作，疫情高峰期時在另一個人口約100萬人的城市Aden，只有 #一間醫院 能維持營運。
這些資訊對許多台灣人來說只是新聞，對於此次活動的講者來說卻是家訊，Kahlan是位在台灣的葉門人，2018年來台到台灣求學，目前是陽明交通大學的博士生。
這場活動會主要以 #英文 進行，將分為兩個部分，第一部分由Kahlan的分享葉門的歷史、現況與他從葉門到台灣的故事，第二部分是分組討論時間。兩場會分開，各約一小時，因此如果你只希望參加第一部分講座也可以。
共筆會主要語言為英文，於Microsoft Teams進行
講者簡介
Kahlan目前就讀陽明交通大學的社會科學博士學位，他過去的工作聚焦葉門社會與經濟規劃領域，並長年關注國際合作與國際發展有效的管理方法，以及適切評估發展計畫影響。

討論方式：將參與者分成兩組，每組討論預先準備好的問題，討論完後回到主會議室，各組分享討論成果與進行提問
討論流程
- 簡短自我介紹 (我們如何稱呼你，以及聽完講座的一句話感想)
- 閱讀文章〈擁有東亞首部難民法，韓國為何爆發反濟州島葉門難民潮？〉
- 擁有東亞首部難民法，韓國為何爆發反濟州島葉門難民潮？(報導者)
- 討論下列問題並記錄討論摘要
- 請各組舉派一至兩位分享討論內容
討論題目
- 根據當地民調顯示，20～29歲的韓國人高達70％反對接受難民，其中一項原因為年輕人認為難民搶了當地工作，許多尋求庇護者透過政府媒合而開始從事漁業和果園工作，但民視全球新聞報導(03:40)裡卻有船東指出漁業長期缺工，難民會搶了當地工作嗎？我們又該如何排解年輕人的擔憂呢？
- 承上題，您認為國家是否應該給予尋求庇護者工作權？又或該有什麼限制？(例：剛抵達半年內不得工作、僅能從事特定工作、雇用難民公司需提出他們無法招募到當地人的證明)
- 許多人也指出文化適應問題，你認為難民融入當地社會過程中他們和我們需要做什麼呢？我們該如何應對民眾的仇外心理？
討論摘要
- 改善國內問題
- 韓國明星鄭雨盛 / 年輕人反對顯現出國內問題，如保障不夠 / 要解決難民問題先決條件是需要「改善國內工作經濟條件與政策，減低相對剝奪感。」
- 雙方期待落差
- 難民與接收國對於期待與看待不同（難民可能希望從事自身擅長或理想的職業，但接收國可能會希望難民從事國內缺工工作，補足勞力短缺）
- 資源與政策討論
- 「資源」可能才是排擠其他人的主因
- 難民與移工不同，資源、政策等要如何應對（延伸：難民會不會壓縮移工工作空間？雙方群體會不會因為工作政策規範不同而產生衝突？）
- 現況研究
- 應先瞭解工作競爭狀況（嘗試釐清難民可能影響國內就業市場到甚麼程度）
- 族群包容？
- 對於「民族」的認知，其中包含令人恐懼的言論散播，影響對於接受「外來者」的包容性程度
- 持悲觀的想法：族群包容的說詞是謊言？因為存在有龐大的保守勢力-妖魔鬼怪化，很難以道德的觀點（等二分法）來實踐社會包容相關法案。
- 站在「人道」觀點如何實踐，主要遇到的問題有：文化適應與大眾排外
- 針對難民和阿拉伯人（延伸：包容所有族群，還是包容特定族群？）
- 媒體角色
- 呈現難民多元樣貌，破除或削減大眾對難民的刻板印象 / 大眾知道資訊有限，比起「我們該怎麼辦」，先想到「我們會失去什麼？」
- 他國借鏡
- 德國的借鏡 / 語言、其他資源相關協助
- 葉門相關疑問
- 葉門的國際教育或是國際化的程度。
- 每個國家與脈絡（比如巴勒斯坦和葉門）
台灣國際觀討論
- 地理條件
- 似乎台灣因為四面環海而得到安全，也因為海我們裹足不出
- 南韓與台灣的狀況 → 島的形式。
- 地緣的形式使得跟其他國家/社群強烈分化
- 教育
- 台灣國際化的程度不夠，還有教育內容等
- 多元文化很難接受，溝通與傾聽是很重要的行動
- 使用稱呼及其意涵
- 台灣目前最常用來區別族群的文字就是「原住民」、「新住民」、「漢人」等等，這樣的說法合適嗎？同樣用「難民」這樣稱呼有比較好嗎？
- 文字的使用／如何不被貼標籤？
- 以美術館單位為例，會仔細斟酌使用的「文字」，來語言指稱那一群人，雖然文字中的指稱存在污名與敘述現況的兩難，然語言仍是必要的載體
- 移工現況反思
- 台灣的移工越來越多，對國家本身的競爭力不見得是加分，因為我們的產業就沒有迫切升級，用血汗勞工來繼續維持現況
- 法案進程
- 法案推行需要天時地利人和，以台灣為例至今已花十幾年時間

Event Description
Those who know little about Yemen might think the title is exaggerated. However, after reading some of the following information, you may change your idea. war in Yemen erupted around the beginning of 2015. According to reports from the United Nations and INGOs, over 70% of the population (20.7 million) needs humanitarian assistance, more than half of whom are children. 1.6 million people suffer from starvation, and close to 3 million people are forced to be displaced internally.
A large number of infrastructure was damaged or diminished entirely. In a port city of Al-Hudaydah with 400,000 residents, a third of schools were closed, and 6 million boys and girls were out of school. Only half of the medical facilities can fully function. At the height of the pandemic, in another port city of Aden. Only one hospital can function and provide services to the city’s 1 million people.
To the majority of Taiwanese people, these numbers are information, appeared in the news and media. But for Kahlan, the speaker of the event, the information is personal. Kahlan is a Yemeni who has lived in Taiwan since 2018. He is now pursuing a PhD degree in Social Science at National Yang-Ming Chiao-Tung University.
The event will be held in English and divided into two sessions. The first one takes place in the form of a lecture where Kahlan will share the history of Yemen, the root of the war and the current situations, and other stories. The second session focuses on the discussion. Participants will be assigned to different groups and discuss various topics chosen by the facilitators.

Guiding Questions and Discussion Notes (Click ► for more info)
Discussion Agenda
1. Introduce yourself briefly (Your name and one-sentence feedback on the lecture)
2. Read the article about Yemeni refugees in South Korea: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180625000720
3. Discuss the following three questions and write down the discussion
4. Have one or two participants share to the whole group what you discuss
Guiding Questions
1. According to the local poll, 70% of the respondents aged from 20 to 29 expressed opposition to accepting Yemeni asylum seekers. One of the reasons cited in the article is that some young people believe refugees will take away their jobs. While it is true that some asylum seekers worked in fishing or agricultural industries, a shipowner featured in Formosa news said the fishery industry is facing a labor shortage. Do refugees take away jobs from local people? How can we communicate with the public on this specific concern?
2. Following Q1, do you think asylum seekers should be granted full right to work? Or there should be some restrictions in place such as asylum seekers cannot work for a certain time period after their arrival, or they can only do certain types of work, or the companies which hire refugees should provide evidence that they cannot hire qualified local people?
3. People in the article were concerned about whether refugees can assimilate into the host culture and/or they perceived an influx of refugees with alien cultures as a threat to society. What do you think needs to be done for refugees to integrate into the host culture? Do they have to integrate? How do we tackle xenophobia towards asylum seekers and refugees?
