(Central News Agency reporter Zhao Jingyu, Taipei, 13th) The National Human Rights Museum will launch a new series of children's human rights education activities in May, themed "Childhood Under Fear, Glimmer in the Darkness," inviting parent-child families to understand freedom and human rights through themed book exhibitions, creative experiences, and bilingual reading activities.
According to news released by the Human Rights Museum today, the activities focus on the plight of children under totalitarian violence and oppression. The themed book exhibition selects 14 human rights picture books, including "The Wall Outside the Wall," "Crabs in the Dark Night," and "Discovery," to guide children to see the life stories of those who grew up amidst high walls, prohibitions, and fear. The activities will also arrange picture book salons, creative workshops, and bilingual story house activities to learn about human rights history through reading and initiate intergenerational dialogue.
Among them, the "The Wall Outside the Wall" creative salon will invite Tady, the author of the picture book "The Wall Outside the Wall," which won the 2026 Golden Butterfly Award Bronze Medal, to converse with Jian Tingfen, editor-in-chief of Little Treasure Children's Books. "The Wall Outside the Wall" presents the vastly different world inside and outside the high walls from the perspective of children born and raised in prison during the White Terror era. Creative sketches and reference materials will be exhibited on site, allowing the heavy memories to be understood and read.
Highly praised by parent-child families, the "Children's Creative Workshop" will be led by Huang Ziyan and Yu Jialin, creators of the pop-up book "Dialogue." Taking the "mathematical poetry" of political victim Cao Kai as the creative core, it guides children to use geometric shapes and paper art structures to transform the abstract life thinking in the poetry into tangible and observable three-dimensional works; allowing children to gradually understand the importance of human rights and freedom through hands-on creation and discussion.
The "Human Rights Picture Book Story House" specially plans both Taiwanese and Mandarin sessions. The Taiwanese session will be led by Teacher Dang Dang Dang (Zhang Yinxin) from the "Taiwanese Language Road Association," starting from the mother tongue, guiding children to experience human rights concepts through nursery rhymes and interactive games; the Mandarin session will be a collaboration between the "Children's Culture Research Society Human Rights Picture Book Group" and the "Adult Thought Research Society," led by Xiong Junjun, to help parent-child families complete a commemorative human rights postcard.
The Human Rights Museum pointed out that all series activities are free to participate. Those who participate throughout will have the opportunity to receive limited edition human rights picture books (per family unit) and this season's main visual postcard. Parent-child families are welcome to seize the opportunity to register. (Editor: Wu Su-rou) 1150413
