Cherishing the sea comes from loving the sea, and loving the sea begins with knowing the sea. Radiant Education Foundation collected information and went into the field to launch a three-year ocean picture book publishing plan. The first "Come and Play, Come and Play" produced by Radiant was officially conceived in July this year. It tells the story of the lagoon and the ocean through children's games, trying to guide children to cherish the ocean and protect the environment in a non-preachy way. Inviting the well-known painter Nan Jun and the story creator Mr. Xie Mingfang to co-create, the composition is based on the text expression, adopting a childlike and fantasy style, in an attempt to break the proportional relationship between children and species, in addition to the theme species in the text In addition to clear depictions, the fun of "playing" can also be created through the interaction between children and species on a reduced scale, echoing the theme of come and play!

We have not slowed down in 2024 and continue to promote environmental education through ocean picture book workshops. What is different is the selection of books in the workshops. With the picture books grown from Radiant, we use "Come and Play" as our work As the main curriculum of the workshop, teachers Li Donglin and Yongming were invited to bring rich and interesting marine education board games, allowing teachers to think about how to help each other and cooperate to solve problems in the game, and at the same time, the game also conveyed the importance of environmental protection for everyone. Role.

In addition, Xie Mingfang, an experienced picture book writer and a special editor of the foundation's cooperative picture book project, was invited to share with the kindergarten teachers the creation process of the "Come and Play" picture book! In addition to sharing the planning and conception of why "Lagoon" was chosen as the theme, it also helps publishing laymen explain the behind-the-scenes secrets of how a book goes from conception to creation to completion.

As for the last course, we arranged a dynamic course dedicated to the lecture nemesis "Fu Lai Dai" to spend the afternoon. We invited Zuo Hanjie, the leader of the local Manufacturing Group in Kaohsiung, and Xue Yongzhi, a percussionist from Fuji, to lead Students can regain the experience of their five senses. The lagoon ecology described in "Let's Play, Let's Play" is full of various diverse sounds, including frogs, birds and cicadas. This course is delivered through the fun of body stretching and sounds. Help us learn to open our ears and hearts to appreciate our surroundings and feel the environment.

Although the course has come to an end, the action of loving the sea is just about to quietly begin. The sustainable book box made of discarded pallets from Ruiyi is filled with the positive energy of ocean knowledge and love for the day. The foundation will Pass the baton to the teachers who participated that day! I hope everyone will turn their harvest into actions and take them back to school to practice with the children.
