New Taipei City Zhongping Junior High School—Using Action to Influence

Cherish the present and let children learn about SDG L: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG M: Climate Action through recycling. Every lifestyle and recycling action we take can help reduce waste, ease the burden on the environment, and ensure a cleaner, healthier world for future generations. Junior high school courses in Earth Science, Geography, Biology, and Chinese Literature all explore climate change. Our ninth-grade visual arts class combines reading Anne's News: Building a School with Trash with learning about Le Corbusier, the father of modernism, and understanding SDG Goal K: Building Inclusive, Safe, Resilient, and Sustainable Cities and Villages. A journey through time and space has been planned: through the lens of climate change, architects, and selected works, students can explore the "architectural life" we build and the ideal blueprint for sustainable cities. This helps connect our own living environment with historical and geographical knowledge, and explore how local materials, sustainable building materials, energy conservation, and green architecture can be incorporated into our daily lives. The development of architecture integrates the relationship between society and the natural environment and geography, highlighting how humans have already implemented the SDGs' sustainable development action plan in architecture. This fosters a sense of social responsibility and civic awareness, fostering a concern for sustainable development and demonstrating ethical practice and the ability to address life's challenges. Every resident of the global village has a responsibility to forge a path to sustainable development for the planet.

Students will be led through the campus park's ecological environment, observing and recording their observations. Drawing inspiration from the Gaomei KUSO logo and its puns in everyday life, students will be encouraged to unleash their creativity and create a KUSO campus logo with a caring and humorous mindset. This will allow the public to experience the beauty of the park's ecology and the humorous art of life. Students will share their feedback and select interesting and appropriate logos. We hope their designs will be incorporated into the park, fulfilling the sustainable development cycle of Design for SDGs.
