Kouhu Junior High School, Yunlin County—Discovering the Colors of Hometown and the Jackie Chan Arts Festival in Kouhu Township

Chenglong Village in Kouhu Township is located at the crossroads of wind and water in Yunlin County. In 1986, Typhoon Wayne caused a devastating flood, submerging the entire coastal area of Kouhu Township. This drastically altered the township's economy, ecology, and residents' lives, leading older generations to consider it a cursed place. However, after nearly 40 years of receiving various resources, Kouhu Township has gradually found a way to coexist with water and continue to thrive on this land. In the arts, the Chenglong Arts Festival provides an opportunity for Chenglong Village to once again be recognized internationally for its community beauty. Through international artists, the festival encourages residents to collaborate on artistic creation, gradually fostering a sense of belonging to their hometown and allowing them to appreciate the beauty of their community.

Kouhu Junior High School in Yunlin County has been promoting outdoor education for over a decade. We entered the Jackie Chan community to design a reality puzzle to understand the community's three aspects: life, production, and ecology. These three aspects simultaneously align with the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of the SDGs. In the process of exploring their hometown environment, we hope that students will be nurtured in the humanities and arts. Through training their five senses, they will discover the forgotten beauty in the corners of the community, triggering their inner emotions as inspiration for their creations, continuing the original intention of the community's past Jackie Chan Art Season and turning the beauty of their hometown into a sustainable seed.
