講座由前校長吳柏青親自牽線促成，並擔任引言人。他在開場時回顧，自己於2019年前往史瓦帝尼王國執行果蔬加工計畫評估期間與葉團長結識，並在其大力協助下成功招募史瓦帝尼學生來台就讀。吳前校長亦指出，葉團長長年深耕當地，對技術合作與人才培育貢獻卓著，是臺灣援外工作的典範。

講座中，葉常青團長以自身三十年的援外經驗為主軸，詳實闡述其在多國推動技術合作的歷程，並深入介紹史瓦帝尼技術團於農業推廣、教育訓練與跨文化交流等面向的實務成果與挑戰。他亦分享在國際合作中所遇見的多元文化與寶貴經歷，幫助同學們對援外工作與國際事務有更全面且深刻的理解。

葉團長勉勵同學勇於走出舒適圈，積極參與海外服務。他強調，援外不僅是深具意義的人生歷程，更能顯著提升語言能力、跨文化溝通與專業技術，對未來職涯發展助益良多。

本次講座同時列入臺灣國立大學系統名人講座之一，並開放線上參加，吸引眾多校內外師生關注與參與，不僅拓展了與會者的國際視野，也為有志投身海外服務的同學們種下啟發的種子。

The Office of International Affairs at National Ilan University hosted a lecture on October 1 titled “Three Decades Abroad: Experiences from Overseas Service and the Eswatini Technical Mission.” The keynote speaker, Mr. Chang-Ching Yeh, former Chief of Taiwan’s Technical Mission in Eswatini, shared highlights of his thirty years of overseas service.

The event was facilitated by former NIU President Po-Ching Wu, who first met Mr. Yeh during a 2019 project in Eswatini and credited his strong support in recruiting Eswatini students to study in Taiwan. Dr. Wu praised Mr. Yeh’s long-standing contributions to technical cooperation and talent cultivation as exemplary in Taiwan’s foreign aid.

In his talk, Mr. Yeh introduced the mission’s achievements in agriculture, training, and cross-cultural exchange, while also sharing challenges and personal experiences from working abroad. He encouraged students to embrace overseas service as a way to gain meaningful life experiences, strengthen language and intercultural skills, and enhance career development.

The lecture, part of the Taiwan Comprehensive University System’s Distinguished Lecture Series, also offered online participation and drew wide attention from within and outside NIU, inspiring students to broaden their international outlook and consider careers in global service.
