30 Hour Famine: Character Education Comes to Life 道德品格教育落到实处
Last week, Yew Chung International School of Beijing Secondary students took part in the global 30 Hour Famine project, during which participants fasted for 30 hours in order to raise money for malnourished people around the world.
上周,北京耀中国际学校中学生参加了世界30小时饥饿行动。为给世界上营养不良的人筹集善款,参与的学生们持续30个小时饥饿。
From Friday morning until Saturday afternoon, students abstained from food while engaging in bonding and team building activities. Through a sense of shared purpose, students motivated each other to make it through the 30 hours fast, as they also reflected on the hardships and challenges of less fortunate people who may never know when their next meal will arrive.
从周五上午到周六下午,学生们不吃不喝,参加团队活动。为实现这个共同的目的,同学们相互激励,携手度过这30个小时。同时,也给同学们一个机会去反思那些弱势群体所遇到的困难和挑战,他们中的一些人或许不知道是否能吃上下一顿饭。
The 30 Hour Famine put YCIS Beijing’s Character Education Programme into action. One of the cornerstones of a Yew Chung education is that success in life is based on more than simply academic achievement; social and emotional development is also a crucial step in a student’s educational journey.
30小时的饥饿行动是北京耀中国际学校道德品格教育课程的一部分。耀中的一个教育信念是人生的成功不能仅仅用学术成绩来衡量,社交及情感的发展对于学生的成长来说也是很重要的一步。
To explain more about the YCIS Beijing Character Education Programme, including its aims and importance for 21st-century students, we spoke with Community Development Division Coordinator Casey Fanning and English Teacher Gillian Wong, both of whom are integral in bringing the programme to life.
