The first session, "Calling of the Sea", of the "Yunlin Shanhaijing" summer story camp sponsored by the Novatek Foundation was successfully completed. Let's take a look at how the children understand the story about the land that they live on.

Chenglong Village, Kouhu Township, is a settlement with a population of fewer than 1,000 people. Thanks to the joint efforts of local folks, communities, schools, and the Kuan-Shu Educational Foundation, it has long been a distinctive and vibrant fishing village. Even if the story camp spent a whole day in the Chenglong Village, it is still a very fulfilling experience!

Due to the resources of the Novatek Foundation, the Yunlin Storyteller team can plan a camp every year. During today’s guided tour, we combined interactive experiences such as "Blue Planet", "Salinity Experiment", "Migratory Bird Bingo", and "Role Playing" to allow the children to learn about water resources, Chenglong Village’s art festival, ecological fallow, fish farming, stratum subsidence, wetland migratory birds and so on. In the afternoon, we went to the fish farm together and enjoyed a complete experience in five senses through catching clams.

We hope to guide the children to pay attention to the environment that they live in through the experience, and also to learn and express themselves in group activities, while respecting others and the environment. Children from six schools range from Grade 1 to Grade 6. They have different personalities and expressions. How to take care of every child in the group is a challenge for the team and a test for teamwork. Thanks to the team and the volunteers for their assistance, so that the camp can be carried out successfully.
