Local identity ≠ Love your hometown. Local identity refers to re-establishing our connection with those local people, things and feelings. Sense of community participation and sense of responsibility for the land under your feet. Cities and rural areas learn from each other, pursue wisdom neglected in tradition and pursue a more sustainable and environmentally friendly life.
companionship
On the one hand, through equal communication, children gain the power to change and grow among volunteers; On the other hand, learning to serve children also stimulates the growth motivation of volunteers.
Nature education
Pay attention to the countryside and be "present". Therefore, in the class of the lighthouse project, children and volunteers will go out of the classroom and school gate to let learning return to the countryside and nature. Nature education makes our delicate feelings echo some characteristics of nature (calmness and beauty, strength and solemnity, magic and grandeur). We take our children to visit the countryside, explore how to make ecological agriculture and simple lifestyle take root in the countryside again, and experience and observe how to plant, make a living and solve the garbage problem ... What we see here is a living world.
Service learning
Promote students to design action plans to solve community problems; In the process of action, meaningful problems can be constantly generated; Meaningful questions lead to meaningful learning; Regain strength and sense of value in action and change.
Drama education
Drama class will learn that we hope students can express themselves independently, but children in rural areas may not have strong expressive ability. In the case of limited language, Lighthouse plans to try to use drama to promote volunteers to think with students. Starting from your own body, through a series of warm-up exercises, guide students to express themselves in various ways, such as body, expression, sound and pictures. In order to further discover the possibility of the body and respond to the life simplified by language. Drama presents the details and complexity of life to children to the greatest extent, so that they can see the true colors of life.
college student
Observe the community situation, urban and rural development, reflect on rural education and self-education, create listening, trust and support in an open and safe environment, and experience the relationship between personal action and social change.
Rural teenagers
Actively express opinions in the group to enhance self-confidence and empathy. The object of talk has changed from volunteers to peers, and a lot of community interviews, chatting with villagers and even confrontation of views, establishing contact with the community and obtaining official responses have had an impact on the community.
