Gongliao Junior High School, New Taipei City—"An Artistic Journey Between Mountains and Sea: A Cross-Domain Practice of Memories of the Gongliao Ancient Trail and theatrical Cinema"

This course uses the "Gongliao Ancient Trail" as its learning axis, responding to the phenomenon of students gradually becoming distancing themselves from their homeland in a rapidly changing era. Through the design of an interdisciplinary aesthetics curriculum, it guides students to reconnect with their local communities, experience their environment physically, and respond to their own experiences through art. Starting with trail exploration and field observation, the course allows students to build an understanding of space, history, and culture through actual walking and perception. Then, through discussion and hands-on activities, students organize local stories and findings from their explorations, and use art forms such as drama and light and shadow to transform abstract understanding into concrete and visible expressions. Finally, through a presentation and exchange activities, students' creations enter the public sphere, engaging in dialogue with others. This allows local culture to not only be recognized but also translated, shared, and continued, cultivating students' sense of identity with their hometown, narrative abilities, and interdisciplinary creative skills.
