The Goal of University Education -NUK's faculty and students collaborate with the local community to initiate the Kezailiao Beach cleanup.

【Translator: Zhi-Yu Yang】【Promotion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) series】2023-10-19 On the 17th, faculty and students from National University of Kaohsiung inspected the gaps between the tetrapod and the sand, leaving no area unchecked. They headed to Kezailiao Beach to carry out an environmental cleanup. This involved removing everyday waste, such as bottles and cans, and collecting several large bags of marine debris, including polystyrene floaters. This endeavor exemplifies their commitment to local collaboration, fostering a community spirit, and taking action to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14: " conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources." By engaging in this effort, they contribute to marine ecosystem conservation and sustainable utilization while promoting environmental awareness.President Chen Yueh-Tuan of NUK mentioned that NUK is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a core of its institutional governance, connecting with society and industry. The "Kezailiao Beach Cleanup X Turning Ocean Waste into Treasure" event is one of the units the Center for Teaching and Learning Development planned as part of the "The Goal of University Education- N Choose 1 Diverse Specialty Courses." This initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Kezailiao Xinhe Village Office and the King Car Cultural & Educational Foundation. The target audience for this activity is first-year students. The goal is to encourage students to make the most of their university experience by actively engaging with important issues, participating in activities, and developing self-directed learning skills. This, in turn, helps students cultivate their interests and a sense of purpose.The beach cleanup team from NUK comprised nearly 40 faculty and students, including Researcher Li Yu-Chi from the Division of Research and Development and teacher Lin Chih-Chien. They were guided by local village chief Zeng Ying-Feng, who emphasized safety measures during the cleanup.The team split into groups to collect trash found in various locations on the beach and ocean debris brought ashore by currents and tides. They collected items such as aluminum cans, plastic bottles, plastic bags, disposable tableware, barbecue grills, firework remnants, and even backpacks, oil drums, syringes, motorcycle parts, and Styrofoam buoys used in the fishing industry. The cleanup process taught students the importance of public responsibility, marine conservation, and ecological preservation.The trash collected by students and staff from NUK was sorted for recycling and documented with details about the types and quantities. This information was then uploaded to The Ocean Conservancy, an organization based in the United States, for data aggregation. It contributes to international efforts by aiding in analyzing the sources of marine debris in various sea areas and actively participating in international beach cleanup initiatives such as the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC).Furthermore, the enthusiastic village chief, Zeng Ying-Feng, invited the team to utilize driftwood (small timber) for creating DIY eco-friendly candle platforms, promoting the spirit of resource recycling. He also encouraged the students to engage in community interactions, strengthening their connections with the local community.#SDG14

Cheng-Hung Wang, Associate Professor of Department of Crafts and Creative Design led students to integrate learning with rural VR

【Promotion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) series】【Translator：Yu-Yan Hsieh】 The diversified development of education is not only limited by factors such as geographical environment, but also affected by factors such as new immigrants, urbanization, and declining birth rate, making the problem of rural education more complicated than before. "Artistic Fishing Village" is developed with the theme of SDGs 14 "Life Below Water" and SDGs4 "Quality Education". In the undergraduate courses, students are allowed to integrate image creation, picture book production and design thinking. Through creative thinking on ocean issues, complete the implementation of picture books on sustainable development.Freshmen and Sophomores were led by the Cheng-Hung Wang, Associate Professor of Department of Crafts and Creative Design of NUK. They brought the picture book textbooks completed by college students to two rural primary and secondary schools (Kaohsiung Municipal Ke-Liao Junior Highschool and Ke-Liao Elementary School) for art workshops, allowing the children to draw the ocean home in their hearts.The content planning of the workshop is as follows: 1. Introduction to picture books, 2. VR marine ecological experience, 3. Drawing the creation of marine homes, 4. Understanding marine ecology through virtual reality, 5. Playing together with the display of transfer printing results.The university team entered Kaohsiung Municipal Ke-Liao Junior Highschool on April 26th and Ke-Liao Elementary School on May 2nd to interact with the students, and combined the knowledge of UN SDGs issues, marine ecology and understanding Keziliao with VR and artistic creation to the teaching site.They will also enter Ke-Liao Elementary School for the second time, and invite students from Kaohsiung Municipal Ke-Liao Junior Highschool, who were selected as 5G new technology learning demonstration schools, to NUK at the end of May. There are about 100 students from the two schools. They will co-create and integrate VR technology into learning experience with college students.The goal of this activity course is to enhance the cultivation of college students' ability to practice and practice in rural areas. Based on service design learning, students can enter the teaching content of rural field practice. By playing the Heat-printing series of activities together, they will craft practice is a skill course that combines aesthetic education and practical experience.By playing the heat-printing series of activities together, students will practice heat-printing as a skill course before learning skills such as operation and teaching plan design in the classroom and after training, they will plan out teaching plans suitable for guiding elementary and middle school children.Lead rural school children to conduct heat-printing experience courses and get in touch with new technology education to increase art experience, so that school children in rural areas can not only learn by hand, but also further develop works with local characteristics. At the same time, it implements the demands of the local Practical Community Service Design Learning and SDGs-4, and spreads the achievements of integrating new technology into learning.#SDG4 #SDG10 #SDG14
