In promoting interdisciplinary aesthetic education, cultivating future talents with interdisciplinary aesthetic sense and providing diverse empowerment courses for teachers and students is also one of the important tasks of the plan.

Professor Shih Lan-mei of the Department of History at National Taiwan Normal University, a member of the Teacher Training Committee, has long been committed to offering interdisciplinary lectures to enhance the teaching abilities of university teacher trainees. On October 17th, she invited Mr. Chu Chao-wei, a teacher from Beida High School in New Taipei City, to share his teaching design and practice of school-based curriculum. Let's see how Mr. Chu led the teacher trainees into the classroom, starting from the local culture of "Sanxia Studies," to understand how to combine tea, indigo dyeing, and local stories to create a real connection between learning, life, and the community, providing important inspiration for the teacher trainees.

This teacher training workshop invited Mr. Zhaowei Zhu from Beida High School in New Taipei City to share his design and practice experience of the interdisciplinary school-based course "A Traveler's Journey Through the Three Gorges: Painting and Dyeing the Green Tea Country". This course combines local industries and interdisciplinary learning within the school's interdisciplinary teacher community, with the promotion of Three Gorges culture as its core.

Starting with field research, the course incorporates diverse activities such as tea picking, tea making, tea ceremony design, indigo dyeing, and GIS digital storytelling, allowing students to learn in real-world contexts. In addition to the established thematic curriculum, the teaching team actively collaborates with local businesses to promote curriculum design that integrates ESG and SDGs. Students' final presentations included worksheets, recorded guided tour videos, community outreach activities, student-made tea culture maps, and various cultural and creative products. These achievements, through public display and exchange, further connected the school and the community, deepening students' understanding and appreciation of local cultural context.

The speaker emphasized that a diverse and flexible curriculum design helps improve secondary school students' learning engagement and overall performance. Based on feedback analysis of the course, participating students showed a significant shift towards a more positive learning attitude, and their communication and creativity also improved markedly, truly allowing them to find meaning in learning within life. The value of education lies not only in the acquisition of knowledge, but also in guiding students to be keenly aware and cultivating sustainable thinking and action.
