Taipei as Classroom Series
On Monday afternoon, students in the Discover Taipei course went on a trip to the 228 Peace Memorial Park with Ms. Hsieh and Mr. Larsen-Strecker.

The students strolled through the former "Taihoku Koen," where the National Taiwan Museum, the old Taihoku Hosokyoku (now the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum), the 228 Peace Monument, Chinese-style pavilions, and an outdoor stage still stand. These landmarks were the focus of the students' visit; they witnessed the evolving times and the transformation of the landscape. With worksheets they had been working on, the students pieced together the various landmarks to connect them to major historical events in Taiwan, and they will write their own final guided tour presentation.

As a core course of VIS, Discover Taipei aims to encourage students to engage with cities and understand the world, connecting every learning experience to real-world contexts. Only by seeing and understanding can knowledge be imprinted in their mind, and only then can students tell the story of this city.

城市即教室系列

週一下午頂著春日的太陽，Discover Taipei 課程老師 Ms. Hsieh 與 Mr. Larsen-Strecker 帶領學生們走訪二二八和平公園。

學生們閒步在昔日的「臺北公園」，園內至今仍矗立著國立臺灣博物館、舊臺北放送局（今二二八紀念館）、二二八事件紀念碑、中式涼亭與戶外舞臺等。這些地標正是學生此行的目的；他們見證著時代變遷、滄海桑田。學生透過學習單逐步拼湊各個地標串連臺灣重大歷史事件，他們將撰寫一份屬於自己的期末導覽講稿。

作為 VIS 核心課程，Discover Taipei 旨在鼓勵學生走入城市、理解世界，讓每一段學習都與真實情境連結。因為唯有看見、理解，才能真正記住，也才能說出屬於這座城市的故事。
