Mimoir (Migrant’s Memoir)
Introduction
Our project is aim for the migrant who come to Taiwan whether for working or living. Since most of them may come to a whole new country by themselves, they might not be able to chat or express themselves when they are in bad moods. As a result, this idea came up to our minds. We are going to create a design a notebook for them. This book is going to give these people a place to pour their heart in and relieve their stress when they feel lonely at night. Additionally, there will be few blanks in the pages that they can evaluate their whole week about the difficulties they meet and think up of the solution so that they won’t be that panic when they encounter these problems next time and better themselves. Lastly, we also provide some useful content for them. When they are keeping their diaries they can learn Chinese in the meantime, we found some daily conversations, some words that only Taiwanese will use and some places that they can visit in the holiday in order for them to fit in the society more quickly. We also put some chicken soup for the soul that encourage them if they feel their lives is in struggling.
The project is inspired by a true story of a migrant from Vietnam. When she first arrived on the island, she felt helpless, depressed and stressed. What made things worse is that she got no one to listen to, or to pour heart to, even her husband, because of the language barrier. Due to these reasons, she became more stressed day after day, and this stress was choking her to death. And she started to hate this country, or blame herself for why she chose to come here and abandon her hometown. Through this incident, we can actually see that a lot of migrants come here alone, and it’s easy for them to feel lonely or be so stressful that they get some mental issues. The intention of our project is to avoid such incidents to happen again, and we think this project is going to help them a lot, and thus prevent these things from happening again.
There’s something that we want to improve the migrants’ lives and even affect the whole society.
First goal we expected to achieve is: comfort. The main idea of our note book is to provide those migrants a media to express themselves when they are alone and got no friend to talk to in a completely new country. We aim to soothe their stress and make their life happier.
And the second goal is: adaption. We all know that to adapt in a new environment is really difficult, and one need to spend a lot of time on that. As a result, we hope that we can help the migrant adapt in the new society faster and less difficult.
The last goal that we want to achieve is: awareness. In Taiwan, actually, the problem of those migrants is often ignored whether by the government or the people, and we hope through this project, we can raise people’s awareness of this issue, and understand the stories of the migrants, and thus initiate some activity to help them and better their lives.
