EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
<Use education to light a lantern, create future with children>
An enterprise could be a model for carrying out good environmental education, but only when it develops into an ecosystem could it really generate power. In order to enable the regeneration of old clothes and rags, and to recognize the climate change and carbon risks on earth, we should tackle the education as its roots.
Therefore, Tainan Enterprises transforms the company’s truck into mobile education vehicles, linking Everest Textile, HerMin Textile, Gain Hwang Paper, Techome Technology and other companies to invest together, and also combines the company’s inventory with the company’s expertise. Senior staff engage in social participation as lecturers, advancing to National Museum of Taiwan Literature, Chimei Museum, NCKU’s C-Hub Creative Base, HuShan Experimental Elementary School, YongKang Fusing Elementary School, National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School, National Tainan Chia-Chi Senior High School, Kuang Hua School, Chang Jung Girls’ School, YMCA……a total of 63 sessions, the Foundation brings diverse expertise together to create sustainability through action.

In May, the foundation led partners in different fields to advance to the Fusing Elementary School in Yongkang District, Tainan City, and designed a series of regenerative art creation courses for low, middle and high grades.
In the lessons, we’ve made beautiful art paintings with yarns of various colors respectively, used second-hand shirts to make environmentally friendly beverage bags, used the remaining rags and bamboo sticks to make hand-sized kites, and also used dirt from reservoir silt to make lion patterns for each grade. These different courses are targeted at different grades of students.
Then the staffs teach the students to know more about the waste caused by fast fashion and to complete the recycling items by themselves. After the lecture, hope that they could change their sense of accomplishment from ideas in daily life.
