Fuxing Elementary School, New Taipei City—Craft Revival in Fuxing's Vast Ocean—Using Crafts to Support Public Welfare

Since 2018, Fuxing Elementary School has focused on the core concept of "Crafts Revitalization in Fuxing," developing various craft categories such as woodworking, dyeing, weaving, metalworking, and lacquerware, and fostering interdisciplinary craft courses through interaction and exchange with various fields. Previously, we focused on the children of Fuxing, but in the 2025 academic year, we planned to step outside of Fuxing, allowing children to start from their own hearts, look at the community, look at Taiwan, and look at the world, combining various fields to develop the "Crafts Revitalization in Fuxing: The Ocean of Life" course. This semester's interdisciplinary aesthetic course, themed "Crafts Revitalization in Fuxing: The Ocean of Life - Coral Reef Hide-and-Seek," combined with courses from the Mandarin reading class on tropical rainforests in the sea, social studies on the ocean's position and Taiwan's development, land use and change, and natural marine biology, with a "Coral Reef Hide-and-Seek" themed book exhibition and interactive games, allowing children to explore the marine issues faced by Taiwan's maritime inhabitants. By integrating art, language reading, nature and life technology, society, and other fields, and incorporating topics such as environment, ocean, multiculturalism, reading literacy, and international education, and using indicators such as SEL, SDGS, and topic integration to connect and develop research with various fields, we hope to inspire and develop a unique interdisciplinary aesthetic curriculum that is special to Fuxing Elementary School.
下學期將選擇為台灣這塊土地奉獻心力的公益團體，深入瞭解他們為台灣土地的奉獻並了解公益理念，學生依據珊瑚礁躲貓貓主題設計工藝作品，最後將工藝作品拍賣，捐贈所得給自己研究的公益團體，貢獻自己的力量以工藝助公益，能在親師生共同參與下，培養責任感、榮譽感與公民實踐精神。海洋保育議題常以污染、危機與數據呈現，學生容易感到遙遠或抽象，下學期以公益市集為生活化情境，讓學生從具體、可參與的角色任務出發，理解海洋生物與人類生活之間的關係，透過圖像解讀與公益市集，學生能從「看見問題」進入「願意行動」，由被動接受知
識，轉化為主動規劃與參與。

課程特別強調工藝創作與公益的連結。學生在藝術表現中不只創作作品，也思考作品如何傳遞理念、如何與他人溝通、如何成為支持保育行動的媒介。從作品到市集、從介紹到募資，孩子能理解美感並非只停留在展示，而能實際成為守護社會與環境的力量。
