第二届青少年环境峰会 | 快来瞅瞅在印度领事馆发生了什么？
Upbeing was delighted to hold a workshop at YES 2017 at the Indian Consulate Hall.We were happy to see the future changmakers gather and coming up with so many creative solutions.
上周六，Upbeing来到印度领事馆，参与了第二届青少年环境峰会，一众青年创变者聚集一堂，互相分享创新见识。
Upbeing held a Trash Trans4mer workshop and this time we added a different angle to it, we invited some of our student to present their research and artwork regarding the new material, especially eco-friendly new material and upcycling.
在今天六月的doo+大会上，Upbeing曾成功举办过废弃物升级工作坊（Trash Trans4mer) , 这次我们给到工作坊加入了更多的新鲜元素，并从另一个角度切入：我们邀请了一些学生，契合大会主旨，给他们分配了不同的任务，比如对环保新材料做了研究，为凳子画出其一生的故事，在峰会上同大家分享。

After the presentation it was time to "get our hands dirty" . The participants of YES (children and their parents) got into groups and started to brainstorm how they can create a furniture or household item from the provided material.（The material we prepared was plastic bottles, aluminum cans, old magazines, old used clothes and plastic cups.）
光说不练可不是我们套路， 动手才是真本事。 于是我们邀请了所有参与青少年环境峰会的大朋友和小朋友们，分组进行头脑风暴，通过提供的废弃物（塑料瓶， 易拉罐， 旧杂志，废弃布料等）制作了各种环保家具用品。
The task wasn't easy because the participants had to only use the things around them. This required out of box thinking, creativity and lots of courage to try out things. It was wonderful to see how the students and parents started to collaborate in order to solve the problem.
只是看着塑料瓶， 易拉罐， 旧杂志，废弃布料这些有限的废弃物是难以开启脑洞的，我们需要跳出思维局限， 通过创造力，在试错中探索出解决方案。
After a quick braisntorm they got down to work and started to make different prototypes. During the process they found out the importance of itireation and teamwork. Everybody had its own duty在快速的头脑风暴后， 每个小组便开始尝试搭建自己的原型。
After 30 min it was time for our Young Trash Trans4mers to present their beautiful creations.
They came to the stage one by one or in small groups and introduced their "artwork"
30分钟后，每个小组创造了他们的“艺术品” ，并给在场所有的参与者介绍了他们的理念。

思考 Take away:
1. We can use the things around us to create something new
我们可以利用身边的旧物品来创造新的可能性
2. Can give second, third or even forth life to trash
我们可以赋予废弃物第二次，甚至更多次的的生命
3. Increased problem-solving skills
提高基于问题为导线的解决能力
4. It was meaningful to do an activity with the parents together
我们希望构建一个混龄的活动，在同一个时空中，让年龄真正的不再是距离
