Cheng Yu Tung College Held its Third Service-Learning Trip to Jiangxi, China
鄭裕彤書院赴江西省修水縣進行第三次服務學習計畫
Cheng Yu Tung College successfully carried out its third service-learning program in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province. Sixteen students from CYTC, led by Resident Fellow Ms. Diane Lu, visited Yusheng Jinrong No. 2 Primary School to carry out volunteer teaching activities. They also visited the Shankou Conference Historical Site and the Former Residence of Huang Tingjian, gaining a deeper understanding of patriotic values and the cultural history of Xiushui.
Since 2023, the Macao Special Administrative Region Government and the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macao have jointly participated in the national rural revitalization program, designating Xiushui County, Jiangxi, as a key support area. Cheng Yu Tung College has actively followed this initiative. From May 25 to June 1, the team conducted a service-learning program at Yucheng Jinrong No. 2 Primary School, serving approximately 116 children (grades 3 to 5) and organizing a Children’s Day carnival for all 262 students.
Based on feedback from local teachers, the children needed more development in sports, arts, and science education. Therefore, the team designed interactive learning activities centered around the Dragon Boat Festival and Children’s Day. For example: Dragon Boat Festival: Making handmade dragon boats (art), learning about the festival’s origins and solar terms (science), and exploring regional differences in zongzi (geography and life skills). For Children’s Day: Studying celebrations worldwide (e.g., mask-making for Colombia’s festival, blind football from Germany) and discussing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to promote global awareness.
This “festival-based, experience-driven” approach created an immersive learning environment, blending cultural heritage with global perspectives. During their stay, the team also visited the Shankou Conference Historical Site, a key location in revolutionary history, which deepened their patriotic spirit and connection to Shankou Town. Additionally, touring the Former Residence of Huang Tingjian, a famous Northern Song Dynasty scholar, enriched their understanding of Xiushui’s cultural legacy. This program not only supported rural education but also strengthened the team’s appreciation for history, culture, and community service.
鄭裕彤書院於江西省修水縣成功進行第三次服務學習計畫，16位鄭裕彤書院的院生由書院導師呂靜慧老師帶領至修水縣山口鎮裕盛錦榮第二小學開展義教，團隊亦參觀山口會議古址以及黃庭堅故里，以習得愛國情懷和了解修水歷史文化。
2023年起澳門特別行政區政府與澳門中聯辦共同參與國家鄉村振興計畫，將江西省修水縣作為鄉村振興支援點，而鄭裕彤書院亦追隨響應特區政府政策。團隊於5月25日至6月1日在裕盛錦榮第二小學進行服務學習計畫，服務對象為小三至小五的孩童約116位以及辦理兒童節園遊會的全校262位孩童。依據當地教師的反饋，孩子們在體育、美術及科普知識等方面的發展尚有欠缺，故團隊以「端午節」及「兒童節」設計了一系列的體驗學習方案。比如說: 端午節：透過製作手工龍舟（美術）、端午節的由來及節氣的概念（科普）、探討南北粽差異（地理與生活知識），將傳統習俗轉化為可操作的學習內容，深化文化認同。兒童節方面，孩子學習各國慶祝方式（如哥倫比亞面具節的美術創作、德國盲人足球的體育共情體驗），引導他們理解文化多樣性，並結合聯合國的《兒童權利公約》，培養全球公民意識。這種以「節日為媒介、體驗為方法」充分打造沉浸式學習，亦體現文化傳承與全球視野的融合。
服務期間師生也拜訪了山口會議古址及黃庭堅故里，山口會議舊址位於團隊三年來服務的山口鎮，這裡曾是革命歷史的重要見證地。透過實地走訪，師生們彷彿穿越時空，感受到當年革命先輩的奮鬥精神，進一步激發了愛國情懷，也讓團隊對山口鎮的過去有了更深的共鳴。而黃庭堅為北宋著名文學家，參觀故里使得師生一行人對江西修水有更深刻的認識。
