How can the same event become a story of freedom to one audience, failure to another, and national pride to a third? What changes when we change the storyteller? Join Zevan, a university professor fluent in five languages who is always exploring news, history and philosophy, for a discussion about how world events acquire different meanings depending on who tells them. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the thefts at the Louvre and involving Renoir artworks, we’ll explore what happened, how different news sources depicted it, and what their choices of words, images and emphasis invite us to believe.

Together, we’ll compare accounts, share interpretations and consider how these stories shape our perceptions of countries, cultures and people. What gets highlighted, what gets left out, and why might one version feel more convincing to us? Can two accounts offer different perspectives without either being false? And when does framing become misleading? No familiarity with the events or knowledge of history is necessary: Zevan will introduce the background so everyone can join in. Expect an open-minded, culturally rich conversation that builds your knowledge of the world while helping you recognise the assumptions you bring to its stories.

同一件事，怎么到了不同人眼里，就成了完全不同的故事？有人看到的是自由，有人看到的是失败，还有人看到的是民族骄傲。换个讲故事的人，一切就都变了吗？跟着 Zevan 来聊聊这件事吧。他是大学教授，会说五种语言，平时就爱琢磨新闻、历史和哲学。这次我们聊的是：世界大事是怎么因为讲的人不一样，就被赋予了不同的意义。从柏林墙倒塌，到卢浮宫那起雷诺阿作品被盗案，我们会看看究竟发生了什么，不同媒体是怎么报道的，以及它们在用词、配图和重点上的取舍，想让我们相信什么。

我们会一起对比不同的说法，聊聊各自的解读，也想想这些故事是怎么影响我们对国家、文化和人的看法的。什么被放大了，什么被悄悄抹掉了？为什么有些版本就是更容易让我们信？两种说法能不能只是角度不同，但都不算错？还有，什么时候“换个角度讲”就变成了带节奏？不熟悉这些事件、不懂历史都没关系，Zevan 会把背景讲清楚，让每个人都能跟上。这会是一场开放又有文化含量的聊天，既能让你更了解这个世界，也能帮你意识到，自己在听故事的时候，本来就带着哪些预设。
