The first community exchange meeting of the 2025-2023 academic year for the Taipei-New Taipei-Keelung-Yilan area was held at Fuxing Elementary School in New Taipei City. With the support of teachers from partner schools across the northern region, Professor Chen Chun-di, the project co-host, Principal Tsai Ching-kuan of Fuxing Elementary School, and his team of principals, the vibrant cross-school exchange began on the 18th.

The first segment featured a lesson presented by Ms. Wang Yanzhao from Fuxing Elementary School, titled "The Vast Ocean: Ink Painting of the Marine World." This course overcame the difficulties of implementing marine environmental conservation themes in an urban setting. Students were taken to the National Museum of Marine Science to learn about marine ecology and endangered species, and to the National Palace Museum to observe the lines and tones of ink painting. The course also incorporated craft teaching in collaboration with the Wood Art Ecology Museum and artisans from the National Taipei University of Education, instructing students in wood chip polishing techniques to create their own mediums for ink painting.

The second part involved classroom observation. Unlike typical visual appreciation, teacher Yan Zhao guided students to close their eyes and touch wooden pieces, experiencing firsthand the results of each student's work. Students then used their own ink-wash paintings to create a domino effect, arranging tiles representing endangered marine life. The teacher cleverly incorporated a twist, designing the last domino to resemble a person, subtly implying that when all the creatures were knocked down, a person would also be knocked down. Through this domino game, students not only grasped the core of the lesson but also understood the methods and significance of teamwork.

The third segment led participating teachers from various schools to the library to experience a "Coral Reef Hide-and-Seek" reading exhibition and situational challenge game designed by the cross-disciplinary aesthetics teacher team of Fuxing Elementary School, combining it with the school-based reading curriculum. This showcased the integration of cross-disciplinary aesthetics education into the school curriculum and students' campus life. Finally, Professor Zhang Yushan from the teacher training partner university provided feedback, believing that the entire course, from experiential learning to games, was closely aligned with the course's content, guiding students to learn through doing. Participating teachers from various schools continued to provide feedback: "The course guided students to think about the process and continuity of cognitive thinking, prompting them to ask questions such as: 'Would there still be protected species if there were no humans?'" "The whole school worked together to carefully integrate the cross-disciplinary aesthetics education theme into various subjects and the learning environment." "The creative curriculum integrated SDGs issues, and the course format combined knowledge, creativity, and experiential learning. The classroom management was excellent, with a seamless balance between active and quiet activities—truly impressive!" Through this community exchange meeting where teachers from the Northern Taiwan region observed and learned from each other, they gained a great deal.
