大手牽小手：「就是粽意你－端午節包粽體驗文化交流活動」

NIU International Students Join Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Exchange at Huey Deng High School

國立宜蘭大學國際學生於114年6月4日前往慧燈中學，參加由慧燈中學舉辦的「就是粽意你——端午節包粽體驗文化交流活動」。本次共有來自巴基斯坦、印尼與越南等國的國際學生參與。
    活動開始由台方高中生熱情接待，透過自我介紹與互動交流，快速拉近彼此距離。隨後進行包粽體驗，在台方師生的帶領下，國際生學習將糯米、豬肉、香菇等餡料包裹進粽葉，雖初學略顯生疏，仍樂在其中，現場氣氛溫馨熱絡。

活動過程中，台灣學生介紹端午節的由來與傳統習俗，如紀念屈原、划龍舟與掛艾草等，讓國際學生更深入認識台灣文化。國際學生也分享各自國家的傳統節慶與飲食文化，如巴基斯坦的開齋節、越南的中秋節、印尼的特色傳統節慶等，展現文化多元與交流的美好。

On June 4, 2025, international students from National Ilan University (NIU) visited Huey Deng High School to take part in the“Just Zongzi for You – Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Exchange and Zongzi-Making Experience.” Students from Pakistan, Indonesia, and Vietnam enthusiastically participated in the event.

The activity began with a warm welcome from Huey Deng High School students. Through self-introductions and casual conversation, both sides quickly connected and built a friendly rapport. The highlight of the day was the zongzi-making experience, where international students, under the guidance of teachers and local students, learned how to wrap glutinous rice, pork, mushrooms, and other ingredients in bamboo leaves. Although the process was unfamiliar to many, everyone enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was cheerful and engaging.

In addition to the hands-on activity, Taiwanese students introduced the origins and traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival—such as commemorating Qu Yuan, dragon boat races, and hanging mugwort—giving international students a deeper understanding of this important cultural celebration. In return, NIU students shared cultural insights and traditional festivals from their home countries, including Eid al-Fitr in Pakistan, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam, and unique traditional celebrations in Indonesia, showcasing the richness of global cultures and the joy of intercultural exchange.
