On November 1 at 2:00 p.m., the Orange County Taiwanese American Cultural and Educational Center will host the English-language book launch of 《Discover Taipei: How a New Generation Tells Taiwan’s Story》 to the World.

This book is the English edition of《Discover Taiwan Through the Eyes of the World: Discover Taipei - An International Dialogue Class for Taiwan’s New Generation》. It documents how VIS International Experimental Education School in Taiwan uses its unique curriculum to take high school students beyond the classroom to explore Taiwan’s history and culture. Students then transform what they have learned into English-language guided tours, personally leading international visitors to historic sites throughout Taipei and sharing Taiwan’s stories with the world from their own perspectives.

The Chinese edition was published by Uli Books & Culture. Its founder, Tu Feng-en, is also the founder of Story Studio, a well-known history website. He has long been dedicated to helping more people understand the connections between Taiwan’s history and the wider world through engaging storytelling. He will also attend the book launch in person.

11月1日下午兩點，橙縣華僑文教服務中心將舉辦《Discover Taipei: How a New Generation Tells Taiwan's Story to the World》英文版新書發表會。這本書是《帶世界發現台灣：Discover Taipei，台灣新世代的一堂國際對話課》的英文版，記錄台灣的「VIS國際實驗教育」學校如何透過特色課程，帶領高中生走出教室、探索台灣歷史文化，並將所學轉化成英文導覽，親自帶領外國訪客走訪台北的歷史場景，用自己的視角，向世界說出台灣的故事。

本書中文版由「有理文化」出版，創辦人涂豐恩也是知名歷史網站「故事 Story Studio」的創辦人，長期致力於透過生動的敘事，讓更多人認識台灣歷史與世界的連結。他也將親自出席這次的新書發表會。
