對於我們當中的內向者而言，傳統形式的行動主義，像遊行、示威抗議、挨家挨戶拜訪遊說，是很令人生畏且有壓力的。相信莎菈．柯比特，她過去是職業的社會運動者，且自稱是內向者。她向我們介紹了「手工藝主義」，是種更安靜的行動主義，用手工藝來讓人們緩下來，對面臨的議題做深思，同時用更溫和的方式讓大眾參與。誰說繡花手帕無法改變世界？

A few years ago, about seven years ago,
0
667
2095
幾年前，大約七年前，
00:14
I found myself hiding
in a festival toilet,
in a festival toilet,
1
2786
3749
我躲在一個節慶現場的廁所中，
00:18
a music festival toilet,
2
6559
1799
一個音樂節活動現場的廁所，
00:20
and if anyone's been to a music festival,
3
8382
3127
如果你有去過音樂節，
00:23
yeah, you'll know that by the third day,
4
11533
3921
是的，你就會知道，到了第三天，
00:27
it's pretty nasty.
5
15478
1689
廁所很噁心。
00:29
I was standing in the toilet
because I couldn't even sit down,
because I couldn't even sit down,
6
17191
3286
我站在廁所裡，
因為我甚至無法坐下，
因為我甚至無法坐下，
00:32
because the toilet roll had run out,
7
20501
2683
因為已經沒有捲筒衛生紙了，
00:35
there was mud everywhere,
8
23208
1444
到處都是泥巴，
00:36
and it smelled pretty bad.
9
24676
1425
氣味非常難聞。
00:38
And I stood there thinking,
10
26125
1777
我站在那裡，心想：
00:39
"What am I doing?
I don't even need the toilet."
I don't even need the toilet."
11
27926
3008
「我在幹嘛？
我根本不想上廁所。」
我根本不想上廁所。」
00:42
But the reason I went
12
30958
1358
但我去廁所的理由
00:44
was because I was volunteering
for a large charity on climate justice,
for a large charity on climate justice,
13
32340
4436
是因為我自願參與一個
關於氣候公義的大型慈善活動，
關於氣候公義的大型慈善活動，
00:48
and it was seven years ago,
14
36800
1908
那是七年前，
00:50
when lots of people didn't believe
in climate change,
in climate change,
15
38732
2491
那時很多人不相信氣候變遷，
00:53
people were very cynical about activism,
16
41247
1905
人們對於行動主義冷嘲熱諷，
00:55
and my role, with all of my teammates,
17
43176
1858
而我和我的隊友的角色，
00:57
was to get people to sign petitions
on climate justice
on climate justice
18
45058
3001
是要讓大家簽氣候公義的請願書，
01:00
and educate them
a bit more about the issue.
a bit more about the issue.
19
48083
2554
並教育他們，讓他們了解這個議題。
01:02
And I cared deeply about climate change
and lots of inequality,
and lots of inequality,
20
50661
3897
我非常在乎氣候變遷
以及許多不平等之事，
以及許多不平等之事，
01:06
so I'd go and I'd talk to lots of people,
21
54582
1953
所以我去和很多人交談，
01:08
which made me nervous
and drained me of energy,
and drained me of energy,
22
56559
3230
那讓我很緊張，耗盡我的精力，
01:11
but I did it because I cared,
23
59813
1825
但我還是因為在乎而去做了，
01:13
but I would hide in the toilets,
because I'd be exhausted,
because I'd be exhausted,
24
61662
3905
但我會躲在廁所裡，
是因為我累壞了，
是因為我累壞了，
01:17
and I didn't want my teammates
doubting my commitment to the cause,
doubting my commitment to the cause,
25
65591
3945
我不希望我的隊友
懷疑我對理想的承諾，
懷疑我對理想的承諾，
01:21
thinking that I was slacking.
26
69560
1881
覺得我在偷懶。
01:23
And we'd go and meet
at the end of our shift,
at the end of our shift,
27
71465
2143
我們會在輪班時段結束時碰面，
01:25
and we'd count how many petitions
had been signed,
had been signed,
28
73632
2365
然後計算簽了多少份請願書，
01:28
and often I'd win the amount
of petitions signed
of petitions signed
29
76021
2667
通常我取得的簽名請願書都最多，
01:30
even though I had
my little breaks in the toilet.
my little breaks in the toilet.
30
78712
2539
雖然我有在廁所中小歇。
01:33
But I was always very jealous
of the other activists,
of the other activists,
31
81275
2747
但我總是非常嫉妒其他行動主義者，
01:36
because either they had
the same amount of energy
the same amount of energy
32
84046
2364
因為從輪班時段開始，
請大家簽請願書，
請大家簽請願書，
01:38
as they had when they began the shift
of getting people to sign petitions,
of getting people to sign petitions,
33
86434
4675
一直到輪班時段結束，
他們的精力都不變。
他們的精力都不變。
01:43
or often they had more energy,
34
91133
1944
甚至有人的精力還更旺盛了，
01:45
and they'd be really excited about
going to watch the bands in the evening
going to watch the bands in the evening
35
93101
3501
他們會很興奮地去看晚上的樂團演出
01:48
and having a dance.
36
96626
1174
並跳跳舞。
01:49
And even if I loved the bands,
37
97824
2111
就算我喜歡那些樂團，
01:51
all I wanted to do was to go back
to my tent and have a sleep,
to my tent and have a sleep,
38
99959
3135
我想做的也只有回到帳篷倒頭大睡，
01:55
because I'd just feel
completely wiped out,
completely wiped out,
39
103118
2667
因為我完全精疲力竭了，
01:57
and I was really jealous of people
that had the energy
that had the energy
40
105809
2557
我很嫉妒有那種有精力
02:00
to go and party hard at the festivals.
41
108390
2530
去節慶狂歡的人。
02:03
But it also made me really angry,
as well, inside.
as well, inside.
42
111703
2912
而我內心也感到很憤怒，
02:06
I thought, "This isn't fair,
I'm an introvert,
I'm an introvert,
43
114639
2922
我心想：「這不公平，
我是內向的人，
我是內向的人，
02:09
and all of the offline campaigning
seems to be favoring extroverts."
seems to be favoring extroverts."
44
117585
4920
所有的非線上活動
似乎都偏袒外向的人。」
似乎都偏袒外向的人。」
02:15
I would go on marches which drained me.
45
123034
2198
我會去讓我覺得很累的遊行。
02:17
That was the other option.
46
125256
1262
那是另一個選項。
02:18
Or I'd go and join campaigns
outside embassies or shops.
outside embassies or shops.
47
126542
4401
或是我會去參與
大使館外或商店外的活動。
大使館外或商店外的活動。
02:22
The only thing that was on offer
was around lots of people,
was around lots of people,
48
130967
2945
唯一提供的，就是一堆人，
02:25
it was very loud activism,
49
133936
1952
那是很大聲且招搖的行動主義，
02:27
it always involved lots of people,
it was performing.
it was performing.
50
135912
3023
總是會涉及很多人，這也是種表演。
02:30
None of it was for introverts,
51
138959
2231
沒有什麼是適合內向者的，
02:33
and I not only thought
that that wasn't fair,
that that wasn't fair,
52
141214
2643
我不僅僅覺得那很不公平，
02:35
because a third to a half
of the world's population are introverts,
of the world's population are introverts,
53
143881
4826
因為世界上有三分之一
到二分之一的人是內向的人，
到二分之一的人是內向的人，
02:40
which isn't fair on them,
because we burn out,
because we burn out,
54
148731
3015
對他們不公平，
因為我們若不是筋疲力竭，
因為我們若不是筋疲力竭，
02:43
or we'd be put off
by activism and not do it,
by activism and not do it,
55
151770
2557
不然就是對行動主義冷感
而不想去做，
而不想去做，
02:46
and everyone needs to be
an activist in this world.
an activist in this world.
56
154351
3755
而在這個世界上每個人
都需要成為行動主義者。
都需要成為行動主義者。
02:50
And also, I didn't think
it was particularly clever,
it was particularly clever,
57
158414
2642
此外，雖然我不覺得這點特別聰明，
02:53
but I could see that a lot
of the activism that worked
of the activism that worked
58
161080
3731
但我可以看到，許多成功的行動主義
02:56
wasn't only extrovert activism.
59
164835
2247
都不只是外向的行動主義。
02:59
It wasn't only the loud stuff.
60
167106
1745
不只是很大聲很招搖的。
03:00
It wasn't about people
performing all the time.
performing all the time.
61
168875
2889
重點並不是要人們總是在表演。
03:03
A lot of the work that was needed
was in the background,
was in the background,
62
171788
2621
很多必要的功夫都在背後，
03:06
was hidden, wasn't seen.
63
174433
1942
是隱藏的、沒被看見的。
03:09
And when I ended up
just being a campaigner,
just being a campaigner,
64
177031
2388
當我最後成為一個從事社會運動者，
03:11
because it's the only job
I can do, really --
I can do, really --
65
179443
2119
因為其實那是我唯一能做的工作──
03:13
I was campaigning at university,
66
181586
1715
我大學時就在從事社會運動，
03:15
and for the last 10 years,
I've been a professional campaigner
I've been a professional campaigner
67
183325
3032
過去十年來，我的職業一直是在做
03:18
for large charities,
68
186381
1167
大型慈善運動，
03:19
and now I'm a creative campaigner
consultant for different charities
consultant for different charities
69
187572
3849
現在我在不同慈善團體
以及我其他工作中擔任
以及我其他工作中擔任
03:23
as well as other work I do --
70
191445
2264
社會運動創意顧問──
03:25
but I knew that there were other forms
of activism that were needed.
of activism that were needed.
71
193733
3212
但我知道還需要有
其他形式的行動主義。
其他形式的行動主義。
03:29
I started tinkering about seven years ago
72
197607
2556
大約七年前，我開始瞎忙，
03:32
to see what quieter forms of activism
I could engage with
I could engage with
73
200187
3754
想了解我能參與哪些
比較安靜式的行動主義，
比較安靜式的行動主義，
03:35
so I didn't burn out as an activist,
74
203965
2277
才不會覺得當行動主義者很累人，
03:38
but also to look at some of the issues
I was concerned about in campaigning.
I was concerned about in campaigning.
75
206266
4762
且能去探究在做社會運動時
我會在乎的那些議題。
我會在乎的那些議題。
我非常幸運，當我為樂施會
及其他大型慈善團體工作時，
及其他大型慈善團體工作時，
03:43
I was very lucky that, when I worked
for Oxfam and other big charities,
for Oxfam and other big charities,
76
211052
3430
03:46
I could read lots of big reports
77
214506
2198
我可以閱讀許多大型報告，
03:48
on what influenced
politicians and businesses
politicians and businesses
78
216728
3254
內容是關於什麼會影響政客、企業、
03:52
and the general public,
79
220006
1691
一般大眾，
03:53
what campaigns worked really well,
which ones didn't.
which ones didn't.
80
221721
2478
什麼運動非常成功、
什麼沒有用等等。
什麼沒有用等等。
03:56
And I'm a bit of a geek,
so I look at all of that stuff,
so I look at all of that stuff,
81
224223
2935
我算是個怪胎，
所以我會看所有這些東西，
所以我會看所有這些東西，
03:59
and I wanted to tinker around
82
227182
1382
我喜歡什麼都試試，
04:00
to see how I could engage people
in social change in a different way,
in social change in a different way,
83
228588
3865
看我能如何用不同的方式
讓人們去參與社會變遷，
讓人們去參與社會變遷，
04:04
because I think if we want the world
to be more beautiful, kind and just,
to be more beautiful, kind and just,
84
232477
4595
因為我認為如果我想要
讓世界更美麗、仁慈、公正，
讓世界更美麗、仁慈、公正，
04:09
then our activism
should be beautiful, kind and just,
should be beautiful, kind and just,
85
237096
3793
那麼我們的行動主義就應該
是美麗、仁慈、公正的，
是美麗、仁慈、公正的，
04:12
and often it's not.
86
240913
1365
但通常卻不是。
04:14
And today, I just want to talk
about three ways
about three ways
87
242723
2340
今天，我只想要談我認為行動主義
04:17
that I think activism needs introverts.
88
245087
2071
需要內向者的三個原因。
04:19
I think there's lot of other ways,
but I'm just going to talk about three.
but I'm just going to talk about three.
89
247597
3484
我認為有許多原因，
但我只想談其中三個。
但我只想談其中三個。
04:23
And the first one is:
activism is often very quick,
activism is often very quick,
90
251731
4016
第一，行動主義通常很快速，
04:27
and it's about doing,
91
255771
1310
它的重點是去做，
04:29
so extroverts, often their immediate
response to injustice is,
response to injustice is,
92
257105
3255
通常外向者對於
不公平的立即反應就是，
不公平的立即反應就是，
04:32
we've got to do stuff now,
93
260384
1460
我們現在就得行動，
04:33
we've got to react really quickly --
94
261868
1810
我們得要非常快速地因應──
04:35
and yes, we do need to react,
95
263702
1615
是的，我們的確需要因應，
04:37
but we need to be strategic
in our campaigning,
in our campaigning,
96
265341
2596
但我們在從事社會運動時
得要有策略，
得要有策略，
04:39
and if we just act on anger,
97
267961
1626
如果只因為憤怒就行動，
04:41
often we do the wrong things.
98
269611
1674
通常我們會做錯事。
04:44
I use craft, like needlework --
99
272177
2628
我會用手工藝，像縫紉──
04:46
like this guy behind me is doing --
100
274829
2079
就像我身後這個人在做的──
04:48
as a way to not only slow down
those extrovert doers,
those extrovert doers,
101
276932
3834
來當作讓那些外向者
緩下來的一種方式，
緩下來的一種方式，
04:52
but also to bring in nervous,
quiet introverts into activism.
quiet introverts into activism.
102
280790
5758
同時也可以把緊張、安靜的
內向者帶入行動主義。
內向者帶入行動主義。
04:59
By doing repetitive actions,
103
287216
2511
透過進行重覆性的動作，
05:01
like handicraft, you can't do it fast,
you have to do it slowly.
you have to do it slowly.
104
289751
3014
比如手工藝，你不能做很快，
你得要慢慢做。
你得要慢慢做。
05:04
And those repetitive stitches
105
292789
1711
重覆的一針又一針，
05:06
help you meditate on the big,
complex, messy social change issues
complex, messy social change issues
106
294524
4064
能協助你去調解大型、複雜、
混亂的社會變遷議題，
混亂的社會變遷議題，
05:10
and figure out what we can do
107
298612
2348
並想出我們身為
05:12
as a citizen, as a consumer,
as a constituent,
as a constituent,
108
300984
5405
公民、消費者、選民等等角色時，
05:18
and all of those different things.
109
306413
1984
能做的是什麼。
05:20
It helps you think critically
while you're stitching away,
while you're stitching away,
110
308421
3397
它能協助你一邊縫紉
一邊做批判性思考，
一邊做批判性思考，
05:23
and it helps you be more mindful
of what are your motives.
of what are your motives.
111
311842
2716
它也能協助你更留心你的動機。
05:26
Are you that Barbie aid worker
that was mentioned before?
that was mentioned before?
112
314582
3348
你是先前提到的芭比
人道救助人員嗎？
人道救助人員嗎？
05:29
Are you about joining
people in solidarity,
people in solidarity,
113
317954
2651
你是否即將要加入人們，團結一心，
05:32
or do you want to be the savior,
which often isn't very ethical?
which often isn't very ethical?
114
320629
3176
還是你想要當
通常不太道德的救星？
通常不太道德的救星？
05:35
But doing needle work together, as well,
115
323829
2348
但一起做縫紉，也能夠讓
05:38
extroverts and introverts and ambivert --
116
326201
3667
外向者、內向者、外向又內向者──
05:41
everyone's on the scale
in different places --
in different places --
117
329892
2223
來自光譜上任何一個區段的人──
05:44
because it's a quiet,
slow form of activism,
slow form of activism,
118
332139
4754
因為它是行動主義的
一種安靜緩慢的形式，
一種安靜緩慢的形式，
05:48
it really helps introverts be heard
119
336917
2770
它真的能協助內向者，
在通常聽不見他們聲音的
領域中被聽見。
領域中被聽見。
05:51
in other areas, where
they are often not heard.
they are often not heard.
120
339711
3868
05:55
It sounds odd,
121
343603
2650
這聽起來很奇怪，
05:58
but while you're stitching,
you don't need eye contact with people.
you don't need eye contact with people.
122
346277
3628
但當你在縫紉時，你不需要
和別人做眼神接觸。
和別人做眼神接觸。
06:01
So, for nervous introverts,
123
349929
2112
所以，對於緊張的內向者而言，
06:04
it means that you can stitch away
next to someone or a group of people
next to someone or a group of people
124
352065
4190
這就意味著你可以在
一個人或一群人旁邊縫紉，
一個人或一群人旁邊縫紉，
06:08
and ask questions that you're thinking
125
356279
2199
並問出你腦中的問題，
06:10
that often you don't
get time to ask people,
get time to ask people,
126
358502
3063
那些你通常沒有時間
去問別人的問題，
去問別人的問題，
或是在眼神接觸時你就會
緊張到問不出來的問題。
緊張到問不出來的問題。
06:13
or you're too nervous to ask
if you give them eye contact.
if you give them eye contact.
127
361589
2897
06:16
So you can get introverts,
who are those big, deep thinkers,
who are those big, deep thinkers,
128
364510
2952
所以你可以讓那些
深思熟慮的內向者說：
深思熟慮的內向者說：
06:19
saying, "That's really interesting
that you want to do
that you want to do
129
367486
3167
「很有意思的是你想要做那種
06:22
that extrovert form of activism
that's about shaming people
that's about shaming people
130
370677
3216
重點是讓人感到羞恥或是
很快要跑去哪個地方的
很快要跑去哪個地方的
06:25
or quickly going out somewhere,
131
373917
1691
外向式行動主義，
但你試圖瞄準的目標
是什麼人？你要怎麼做？
是什麼人？你要怎麼做？
06:27
but who are you trying to target and how,
132
375632
2174
06:29
and is that the best way to do it?"
133
377830
1929
那是最好的做法嗎？」
06:31
So it means you could have
these discussions in a very slow way,
these discussions in a very slow way,
134
379783
3047
那意味著你得用非常慢的
方式來進行這些討論，
方式來進行這些討論，
06:34
which is great for the extrovert
to slow down and think deeply,
to slow down and think deeply,
135
382854
2977
對於外向者而言，
能慢下來深思是好事，
能慢下來深思是好事，
06:37
but it's really good
for the introvert as well,
for the introvert as well,
136
385855
2207
但這也對內向者很好，
06:40
to be heard and to feel
part of that movement for change,
part of that movement for change,
137
388086
3555
能被聽見，感覺有參與
造成改變的社會運動，
造成改變的社會運動，
06:43
in a good way.
138
391665
1151
用一種好的方式。
06:44
Some ways we do it is stitch cards
139
392840
2382
我們的一些做法是縫紉卡片，
06:47
about what values we thread
through our activism,
through our activism,
140
395246
3063
用針線描繪出我們行動主義的價值，
06:50
and making sure that we don't
just react in unethical ways.
just react in unethical ways.
141
398333
3508
且能確保我們不會
用不道德的方式來因應。
用不道德的方式來因應。
有時，我們會和藝術機構合作，
06:53
One, sometimes we work
with art institutions
with art institutions
142
401865
2810
我們能在維多利亞與艾伯特博物館
聚集超過 150 人，
聚集超過 150 人，
06:56
where we will get
over 150 people at the V&A
over 150 people at the V&A
143
404699
3072
06:59
who can come for hours,
144
407795
1450
他們能來數小時，
07:01
sit and stitch together
on a particular issue,
on a particular issue,
145
409269
2437
坐下來一起針對特定的議題做縫紉，
07:03
and then tweet what they're thinking
or how it went, like this one.
or how it went, like this one.
146
411730
3461
然後用推特分享他們的想法
或過程狀況，就像這個。
或過程狀況，就像這個。
07:07
Also, I always think
that activism needs introverts
that activism needs introverts
147
415727
3223
此外，我總是認為
行動主義需要內向者，
行動主義需要內向者，
07:10
because we're really good
at intimate activism.
at intimate activism.
148
418974
3015
因為我們非常擅長親密的行動主義。
07:14
So we're good at slow activism,
149
422013
1627
我們擅長緩慢的行動主義，
07:15
and we're really good
at intimate activism,
at intimate activism,
150
423664
2286
我們也很擅長親密的行動主義，
07:17
and if this year has told us anything,
151
425974
1842
如果在這一年我們學到什麼，
07:19
it's told us that we need to,
when we're engaging power holders,
when we're engaging power holders,
152
427840
3841
那就是當我們遇到掌權人的時候，
07:23
we need to engage them by listening
to people we disagree with,
to people we disagree with,
153
431705
3310
我們要用的方式是
去傾聽我們不認同的人，
去傾聽我們不認同的人，
07:27
by building bridges not walls --
154
435039
2106
要建立橋樑而非圍牆──
07:29
walls or wars --
155
437169
2782
圍牆（walls）或戰爭（wars）──
07:31
and by being critical friends,
not aggressive enemies.
not aggressive enemies.
156
439975
2904
要成為批判性的朋友，
而非好鬥的敵人。
而非好鬥的敵人。
07:35
And one example
that I do a lot with introverts,
that I do a lot with introverts,
157
443371
2874
舉一個例子，我常和內向者這樣做，
07:38
but with lots of people,
158
446269
1151
和很多人都這樣做，
07:39
is make gifts for people in power,
159
447444
2086
就是為當權者做禮物，
07:41
so not be outside screaming at them,
160
449554
2604
不是在外面對著他們吼叫，
07:44
but to give them something
like a bespoke handkerchief
like a bespoke handkerchief
161
452182
2904
而是給他們某件東西，
比如訂製的手帕，
比如訂製的手帕，
上面寫：「別搞砸它。
07:47
saying, "Don't blow it.
162
455110
1335
把你的權力用在好的地方。
07:48
Use your power for good.
163
456469
1507
07:50
We know you've got a difficult job
in your position of power.
in your position of power.
164
458000
3151
我們知道你在這個有權力的位置，
工作是很困難的。
工作是很困難的。
我們能如何協助你？」
07:53
How can we help you?"
165
461175
1738
很棒的是，對於內向者，
07:54
And what's great is, for the introverts,
166
462937
2715
我們能一邊做這些禮物，一邊寫信，
07:57
we can write letters
while we're making these gifts,
while we're making these gifts,
167
465676
2436
08:00
so for us, Marks and Spencer,
168
468136
2373
所以對我們而言，馬莎百貨，
08:02
we tried to campaign to get them
to implement the living wage.
to implement the living wage.
169
470533
4421
我們試著發起運動，
讓他們採用最低維生薪資。
讓他們採用最低維生薪資。
08:06
So we made all the 14 board members
bespoke handkerchiefs.
bespoke handkerchiefs.
170
474978
4042
所以我們為 14 位董事
通通做了訂製的手帕。
通通做了訂製的手帕。
08:11
We wrote them letters, we boxed them up,
171
479044
2292
我們寫信給他們，我們把信裝箱，
08:13
and we went to the AGM
to hand-deliver our gifts
to hand-deliver our gifts
172
481360
3033
我們跑去股東年會，
親手送我們的禮物，
親手送我們的禮物，
08:16
and to have that form of intimate activism
173
484417
2496
進行那種親密式的行動主義，
08:18
where we had discussions with them.
174
486937
1741
並得以和他們進行討論。
08:21
And what was brilliant
was that the chair of the board
was that the chair of the board
175
489107
3183
很棒的是，董事長告訴我們
08:24
told us how amazing our campaign was,
176
492314
1952
我們的運動有多不可思議，
08:26
how heartfelt it was.
177
494290
1436
以及多麼窩心。
08:28
The board members, like Martha Lane Fox,
178
496153
2104
而董事們，如瑪莎．蓮恩．福克斯，
08:30
who has hundreds of thousands
of followers on Twitter,
of followers on Twitter,
179
498281
2904
在推特上有數十萬的追隨者，
08:33
and highly influential in business,
180
501209
2278
且對商業的影響力也相當高，
08:35
tweeted how impressed she was,
181
503511
2024
她在推特上說她的印象有多麼深刻，
08:37
and within 10 months,
182
505559
1587
在十個月內，
08:39
we'd had meetings with Marks and Spencer
183
507170
2556
我們和馬莎百貨開了會議，
然後告訴他們：
然後告訴他們：
08:41
to say, "We know this is difficult
to be a living wage employer,
to be a living wage employer,
184
509750
3540
「我們知道身為最低
維生薪資的僱主是很困難的，
維生薪資的僱主是很困難的，
08:45
but if you can be one,
185
513314
1349
但如果你們能做到，
08:46
the rest of the sector will look at it,
186
514687
1859
這一行的其他人也都會看見，
08:48
and it's not right that some of your
amazing workers are working full time
amazing workers are working full time
187
516570
4602
而且有些很棒的全職員工
仍然無法支付他們的帳單，
仍然無法支付他們的帳單，
08:53
and still can't pay their bills.
188
521196
1539
這樣是不對的。
08:54
And we love Marks and Spencer.
189
522759
1500
我們愛馬莎百貨。
08:56
How can you be the role model
that we want you to be?"
that we want you to be?"
190
524283
2706
你們要如何成為我們
期望的那個典範呢？」
期望的那個典範呢？」
08:59
So that was that intimate
form of activism.
form of activism.
191
527829
2009
那就是親密式的行動主 義。
09:01
We had lots of meetings with them.
192
529862
2301
我們和他們開了很多場會議，
09:04
We then gave them Christmas cards
and Valentine's cards to say,
and Valentine's cards to say,
193
532187
4499
聖誕節和情人節我們都
送卡片給他們，寫著：
送卡片給他們，寫著：
09:08
"We really want to encourage you
to implement the living wage,
to implement the living wage,
194
536710
3303
「我們真的很想要鼓勵你們
採用最低維生薪資。」
採用最低維生薪資。」
09:12
and within 10 months,
they'd announced to the media
they'd announced to the media
195
540037
2808
在十個月之內，他們對媒體宣布，
09:14
that they were going to pay
the independent living wage, and now --
the independent living wage, and now --
196
542869
3866
他們將會支付獨立的
最低維生薪資，而現在──
最低維生薪資，而現在──
09:18
(Applause)
197
546759
1809
（掌聲）
09:20
Thank you.
198
548592
1151
謝謝。
09:21
And now we're trying
to work with them to be accredited,
to work with them to be accredited,
199
549767
3539
現在，我們在試著和他們合作，
取得正式認可，
取得正式認可，
09:25
which is really important,
200
553330
1279
這是很重要的，
09:26
and we went back to the last AGM this June
201
554633
2452
今年六月，我們又
去了上次的股東年會，
去了上次的股東年會，
09:29
and we had these amazing one-to-one
discussions with the board members,
discussions with the board members,
202
557109
3596
和董事們進行了很棒的一對一討論，
他們告訴我們，他們很愛那些手帕，
09:32
who told us how much
they loved their hankies
they loved their hankies
203
560729
2097
09:34
and how it really moved them,
what we were doing,
what we were doing,
204
562850
2874
我們所做的真的讓他們很感動，
09:37
and they all told us that if we were
standing outside screaming at them
standing outside screaming at them
205
565748
3464
他們全都告訴我們，
如果我們的抗議方式是站在外頭
如果我們的抗議方式是站在外頭
對他們大聲叫囂而不溫和，
09:41
and not being gentle in our protest,
206
569236
2120
09:43
they wouldn't have even listened to us,
207
571380
1877
他們就不會傾聽我們，
09:45
never mind had those discussions with us.
208
573281
2027
更不可能和我們進行討論。
09:47
And I think introverts
are really good at intimate activism
are really good at intimate activism
209
575332
3358
我認為內向者非常
擅長親密式行動主義，
擅長親密式行動主義，
09:50
because we like to listen,
210
578714
1341
因為我們喜歡傾聽，
09:52
we like one-to-ones,
211
580079
1357
我們喜歡一對一，
09:53
we don't like small talks,
212
581460
1347
我們不喜歡閒聊，
09:54
we like those big, juicy issues
to discuss with people,
to discuss with people,
213
582831
3526
我們喜歡和別人談
富有刺激性的大議題，
富有刺激性的大議題，
09:58
we don't like conflict,
214
586381
1516
我們不喜歡衝突，
所以我們會不計代價避免它，
09:59
so we avoid it at all costs,
215
587921
1767
10:01
which is really important when
we're trying to engage power holders,
we're trying to engage power holders,
216
589712
3289
當我們面對掌權人時，這點很重要，
10:05
not to be conflicting
with them all the time.
with them all the time.
217
593025
3170
不要總是和他們衝突。
10:08
The third way I think activists
are really missing out
are really missing out
218
596632
4694
我認為如果行動主義者
不納入內向者，
不納入內向者，
10:13
if they don't engage introverts
219
601350
1870
他們會錯失的第三點
10:15
is that introverts, like I said,
can be half of the world's population,
can be half of the world's population,
220
603244
5031
就是我先前說的，
內向者佔世界人口的一半，
內向者佔世界人口的一半，
10:20
and most of us won't say
that we're introvert,
that we're introvert,
221
608299
3104
我們大部分人都不會說自己內向，
10:23
or we get embarrassed
by saying what overwhelms us.
by saying what overwhelms us.
222
611427
3194
或是我們不好意思說出
是什麼讓我們不知所措。
是什麼讓我們不知所措。
10:26
So for me, a few years ago,
223
614645
2001
所以，對我來說，幾年前，
10:28
my mom used to send me
texts in capital letters --
texts in capital letters --
224
616670
3093
我媽媽以前傳訊息給我時
都只會用大寫字──
都只會用大寫字──
10:31
and she can now do emojis
and everything, she's fine --
and everything, she's fine --
225
619787
3150
現在她用表情符號之類的
都很行了──
都很行了──
10:34
but as soon as I'd see this text,
226
622961
1779
但當我看到這種訊息，
10:36
I'd wince and think, "Ooh,
it's capital letters, it's too much."
it's capital letters, it's too much."
227
624764
3620
我會皺眉蹙額，心想：「喔，
都是大寫字，太過頭了。」
都是大寫字，太過頭了。」
10:40
And I'd have to ignore it to read
the lovely text she sent me.
the lovely text she sent me.
228
628408
3182
我得要忽視這現象，才能去
閱讀她傳給我的美好文字。
閱讀她傳給我的美好文字。
10:43
And that's a bit embarrassing,
229
631614
1483
要告訴別人說大寫字
10:45
to tell people that capital
letters overwhelm you,
letters overwhelm you,
230
633121
3112
讓你不知所措，
的確是會有點不好意思，
的確是會有點不好意思，
10:48
but we really need introverts
to help us do intriguing activism
to help us do intriguing activism
231
636257
5009
但我們真的需要內向者，
來協助我們策劃出能吸引他們
來協助我們策劃出能吸引他們
10:53
that attracts them
rather than puts them off.
rather than puts them off.
232
641290
2563
而不是讓他們冷感的行動主義。
10:55
We're put off by big
and brash giant posters
and brash giant posters
233
643877
3453
我們會冷感的包括大型的傲慢海報、
10:59
and capital letters and explanation marks
234
647354
2508
大寫字、驚嘆號、
11:01
telling us what to do
and vying for our attention.
and vying for our attention.
235
649886
3422
告訴我們要做什麼、
爭取我們的注意力。
爭取我們的注意力。
11:05
So some of the things I do with people
around the world who take part
around the world who take part
236
653332
3798
所以，我和世界各地
一些參與者的做法
一些參與者的做法
11:09
is make small bits
of provocative street art
of provocative street art
237
657154
2342
是去做爭議性的小型街頭藝術，
11:11
which are hung off eye level, very small,
238
659520
2642
掛在眼睛的高度，非常小型，
11:14
and they're provocative messages.
239
662186
1778
上面是爭議性的訊息。
11:15
They're not preaching at people
or telling them what to do.
or telling them what to do.
240
663988
3285
不會反覆灌輸鼓吹，
或告訴別人要怎麼做。
或告訴別人要怎麼做。
11:19
They're just getting people
to engage in different ways,
to engage in different ways,
241
667297
2634
目的只是要讓人們
用不同的方式參與，
用不同的方式參與，
11:21
and think for themselves,
242
669955
1191
並為他們自己想，
11:23
because we don't like
to be told what to do.
to be told what to do.
243
671170
2126
因為我們不喜歡被告知要做什麼。
11:25
It might be wearing
a green heart on your sleeve
a green heart on your sleeve
244
673921
2453
可能是在你的袖子上
戴個綠色的愛心，
戴個綠色的愛心，
11:28
saying what you love
and how climate change will affect it,
and how climate change will affect it,
245
676398
2897
說說你愛的是什麼、
氣候改變會如何影響它，
氣候改變會如何影響它，
11:31
and we'll wear it,
246
679319
1158
我們會戴著它，
11:32
and if people say,
247
680501
1182
如果有人說：
11:33
"Why are you wearing a green heart
with the word 'chocolate' on?"
with the word 'chocolate' on?"
248
681707
3334
「你為什麼要戴個綠色愛心，
上面寫著『巧克力』？」
上面寫著『巧克力』？」
11:37
and we can have those one-to-one
intimate conversations and say,
intimate conversations and say,
249
685065

我有兩項行動呼籲，
12:42
for the introverts and for the extroverts.
270
750233
2985
分別給內向者與外向者。
12:45
For the ambivert,
271
753242
1499
至於內向又外向者，
12:46
you're involved in all of it.

這些通通和你有關。
12:49
For the extroverts, I want to say
that when you're planning a campaign,

273
757055
4946
對外向者，我想說的是，
當你在規劃一項運動時，
當你在規劃一項運動時，
12:54
think about introverts.
274
762025

要想想內向者。
12:55
Think about how valuable our skills are,
just as much as extroverts'.

275
763565
3896
想想我們的技巧，
是和外向者的技巧一樣有價值。

13:22
I know you like being in your head,
283
790825
1851
我知道你喜歡自己想事情，
13:24
but activism needs you,
284
792700
1897
但行動主義需要你，
13:26
so sometimes you've got to get out there.
285
794621
2032
有時你得要站出來。
13:28
It doesn't mean that you've got
to turn into an extrovert and burn out,

286
796677
3334
那並不表示你得要變成外向者，
然後筋疲力竭，
然後筋疲力竭，
13:32
because that's no use for anyone,
287
800035
1572
因為那樣對誰都沒用，
13:33
but what it does mean
288
801631
1197
真正的意思是，
13:34
is that you should value the skills
and the traits that you have

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Corbett - CraftivistSarah Corbett does activism in a quiet, humble and intriguing way using handicrafts.
Why you should listen
Sarah Corbett is a craftivist who teaches her "gentle protest" approach to individuals and organizations around the world. She also makes craftivism (craft + activism) projects and DIY kits for people who want to do a quieter, kinder and more beautiful form of effective activism than what is sometimes traditionally offered.
Growing up in a low-income area of the UK, Corbett has been involved in activism since she was three years old and has worked for more than a decade in the UK charity sector as a professional campaigner focusing on international development. But in 2008 she burnt out as an activist and introvert and wanted to find an effective way of campaigning that fitted her skills and ethics and personality. She set up the Craftivist Collective social enterprise in 2009 after people wanted to join in her new form of activism. Now there are craftivists around the world who take part in social change using handicrafts.
Corbett won the Sheila McKechnie award for Economic Justice campaigner of the Year 2016. Craftivist Collective won an Innovation Award from Care2 Impact Award 2016. She works with charities, arts institutions, universities and has exhibited her solo exhibition, "Gentle Protest," in Stockholm, Helsinki and London. She lives in East London and works worldwide.
