阿嬤袋、牡蠣與文蛤最具台灣特色的見面禮

每一場國際會議在報到之初，少不了制式的文件夾與名牌。由願景青年行動網協會(Vision YouthAction, VYA)於雲林台西所舉辦的亞洲志願服務協會（Network for Voluntary Development in Asia，NVDA）第七屆年會，卻送給每一位與會者，最具台灣特色的文件提袋與名牌。

這款早期阿嬤帶上菜市場的條紋網袋，是名聞遐邇的「台客包」，VYA則將阿嬤包「改裝」之後，變成了NVDA會議與會者報到時人手一袋的文件夾(見圖一)。更值得一提的是，與會者的名牌是由牡蠣殼與蛤蠣殼所組成，不但彰顯在地經濟的特色，同時具有長久保存的紀念價值。

近海養殖漁業是雲林台西的經濟命脈，而台西的文蛤更佔了全台灣近百分之六十的產量。此次NVDA年會，VYA巧思將具有在地特色的牡蠣殼和蛤蠣殼變成有創意的名牌，除了讓與會者有參與感可以親自寫上自己的名字，工作人員也貼心寫上聯絡方式，讓來自12國非政府組織的領袖在台西趴趴走之餘不用擔心迷路。

台灣志工更進一步利用在地文化做創意發想，以蛤蠣殼和漂流木打造台灣意象(見圖四)，充分展現獨特的在地風情。會議雖然只有短短十天，但是阿嬤提袋、牡蠣和文蛤名牌卻可以保存永遠。
