時光匆匆，歲月荏苒。回想你第一次踏上異域他鄉時，心裡曾懷抱著怎樣的憧憬？時至今日，又收穫了哪些意料之外的驚喜？在或長或短的海外生活中，關於夢想與遺憾，留戀與未來，你有什麼特別的故事想要與大家分享嗎？
溫哥華時間2月6日下午6點，UBC Hua Dialogue對話將攜手台灣境外生權益小組（TISM)，帶來“真人圖書館”x對話“特別活動。在“真人圖書館”環節，我們邀請了在不同國家/地區留學或生活過的講者，以自己為書，講述身處異國他鄉的見聞與悲歡。屆時你將有機會聆聽到分享者人生書頁上一個個精彩絕倫的故事，透過他們的聲音，感受人在異鄉和喜怒悲歡。我們也保留了傳統的對話單元，以大組討論的對話形式讓你有機會分享自己的故事，或對講者提出自己的問題。
