在十一月十九日，慈濟大學英美語文學系的「國際難民學生英語交換學伴服務學習」班學生參觀了台北清真寺。

On Saturday November 19, 2022,  Tzu Chi University’s Department of English Language and Literature class, “Service Learning: Language Exchange Partners for International Refugee Students,” traveled to Taipei to visit the Taipei Grand Mosque.

台北清真寺總幹事王夢龍先生與班上同學介紹伊斯蘭宗教和文化。同學們參觀了大禮拜堂；淨禮室；以及女性和小孩信徒做禮拜的專區。參觀當天，清真寺也邀請了一位美國裔的伊斯蘭教老師來演講，大廳裡滿滿都有各個國家的聽眾，顯得特別熱鬧。當天下午，同學們在六張犁的「回教公墓」探索深受伊斯蘭文化影響的歷史性遺址。

Mr. Wang Menglong of Taipei Grand Mosque spoke to the class about Islamic religion and culture. The class visited the Prayer Hall; the washroom (for wuḍū, ceremonial washing as part of daily prayers); and the women’s balcony where women and children participate in prayers.  On the same day as the class visit, the Mosque also hosted an American Muslim guest speaker in the main prayer hall, so the Mosque had many attendees from various ethnic and national backgrounds and the atmosphere was lively.  In the afternoon the class explored the Muslim Cemetery at Liuzhangli in Taipei, which is a historically important site with rare monuments in Islamic style.

 

慈濟大學學生與滿納海國際學校的學生透過遠距教學互相學習。滿納海國際學校是慈濟基金會在伊斯坦堡市為敘利亞的難民而開的學校滿納海國際學校。

這門課的目的是提供多一種教育機會給敘利亞的難民學生，並增廣慈濟大學學生對於聯合國和慈濟基金會對救助難民有關措施的認識。

In this class, TCU students work online in small groups with students at El Menahil International School in Istanbul, Turkey, a school for Syrian refugees founded by Tzu Chi Foundation. The objectives of this course are to provide educational opportunities for refugee students from Syria and to increase TCU students’ awareness about the work that both the United Nations and Tzu Chi does with refugees worldwide.
