Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Cheng Yu Tung College: The College Held its First Service-Learning Trip to Jiangxi of Mainland China
鄭裕彤書院十周年院慶活動: 書院赴江西省修水縣進行第一次服務學習計劃
Cheng Yu Tung College (CYTC) conducted its first Service-Learning project in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province. 13 students of CYTC led by Resident Fellow Ms. Diane Lu and College Master Prof. Alfred Wong went to Xiushui to provide voluntary teaching in a primary school called Yusheng Jinrong No.2 Primary School (裕盛錦榮第二小學). They received patriotic education by visiting the Autumn Harvest Uprising Memorial Hall and Huang Tingjian’s hometown.
In compliance with the Chinese Central Government’s policy, the Macau Special Administrative Region Government and the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government give partner assistance to the Revitalization of Rural Areas in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province. The Macau SAR policy is likewise followed by CYTC. Following a site visit in March, CYTC recruited 13 student volunteers and did the training and preparation for nearly 1.5 months Targeting 158 P2 to P4 students at Yusheng Jinrong No. 2 Primary School in Jiangxi province, CYTC conducted its inaugural service-learning trip there from May 27 to June 4, 2023. According to school administrators, the majority of students were underdeveloped in music, athletics, art, and scientific popularization, therefore the team created a number of experiential learning programs. For instance, through their participation in art classes, the children learned how to tie-dye clothing as well as how to rub leaves and flowers into paper. The youngsters also learned how to play soccer, which involves kicking or bouncing a ball. The kids picked up how to play the recorder and read numbered musical notation. Last but not least, College Master, Prof. Wong presented two lectures on “science and creativity” to students and teachers on the final day of the volunteer work. On June 1, Children’s Day, the team collaborated with the children to give four shows in addition to their volunteer teaching activities, and without a doubt, every member enjoyed themselves immensely.
The team also paid visits to the Autumn Harvest Uprising Memorial Hall and Huang Tingjian’s hometown. The memorial hall teaches patriotism and revolutionary tradition. It was named a patriotic education demonstration base and one of Jiangxi Province’s “Top 10 Red Attractions.” Huang Tingjian was a well-known Northern Song Dynasty literary personality. The team gained a better understanding of Jiangxi’s Xiushui County after seeing the memorial hall and old residence.

鄭裕彤書院於江西省修水縣成功進行第一次服務學習計劃，13位鄭裕彤書院的院生由書院導師呂靜慧老師以及代院長黃承發教授帶領至修水縣山口鎮裕盛錦榮第二小學開展第一次義教，團隊亦參觀當地紅色基地:修水秋收起義紀念館與古代名人黃庭堅故里以習得愛國愛澳文化。
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劃，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。書院在三月份江西考察結束後，便招募13位志願者進行約1.5個月訓練及籌備，團對於5月27日至6月4日赴江西修水裕盛錦榮二小進行第一次的服務學習計劃，服務鎖定小二至小四的孩童約158位。依據二小學校教師的反饋，孩子們在音樂、體育、美術及科普知識等方面的發展尚有欠缺，故團隊設計了一系列的體驗學習方案。比如說: 在美術課程，孩童體驗了中國紮染，將顏料及圖騰順利染上布料，也體驗了大自然樹葉及花朵的拓印；在體育課程，孩童體驗學習正確的足球傳球、運球方式；以及在音樂課，孩童學習吹豎笛以及閱讀簡譜。最後，在義教的最後一天，書院黃院長也為小朋友及鎮上的老師帶來兩堂豐富有趣的”科學與創意”分享座談。此行除義教外，團隊與孩子們也一起合作四個節目，於六一兒童節上一起表演展示，毫無疑問地，每位成員渡過歡快難忘的六一。
師生一行人亦藉機參觀了秋收起義修水紀念館及黃庭堅故里，該紀念館是進行愛國主義和革命傳統教育，授予愛國主義教育示範基地以及被評為江西省“十大紅色景點”之一。而黃庭堅為北宋著名文學家，透過參觀紀念館及故里使得師生一行人對江西修水有更深刻的認識。
