“Eco-graphs” is a fun art activity in which children create a personal symbol for eco-values using Chinese brush and ink on paper. What exactly are our values with respect to nature? Through a straightforward design methodology this question is explored verbally and visually. Each symbol that emerges is unique, but they all share a visual language that connects them to the earliest forms of human writing. The workshop includes a demonstration and discussion with several professional artists and calligraphers. No experience in art or calligraphy necessary.

Cities need a healthy regenerative supply of resources and goods that ensures food, water and energy security. Mini Green Challenge is a call to action for everyone living in the city to raise awareness about conscious living, informed consumption, and the collective impact of individual actions. Our goal is to inspire urban youth and familes to transition from conventional to conscious living, take action, and sustain a healthy, just planet.

We design and deliver creative participatory learning environments and experiences for game-changing conversations and disruptive solutions, and connect the participants with the movers and shakers of China’s creative, technology and social innovation scene. We challenge participants to leave their comfort zones, harness individual and collective creativity to evolve and innovate. The outcome is inspiration, transformation, confidence, ownership and next individual and organizational endeavor. This isn’t just about generating ideas. It’s also about making the ideas happen.

作为一项趣味体验，参与“生态图”的孩子们将会使用中国传统水墨画的笔墨，于宣纸之上描绘各自心中的“生态”之意象。基于对大自然的敬意，我们究竟应当对其抱以何种态度？事实上，这一问题已被业界以“开门见山式”的设计语言，或形而上地，或求真务实地求索良久。尽管每一个意象所传递的内涵都不尽相同，但共通的视觉语言却让它们在与人类早期文字的关联上殊途同归。
此次儿童节特别工作坊将包含现场演示以及诸位职业艺术家和书法家的现场对话。同时该工作坊对参与的孩子们没有任何美术和书法方面的技能要求。
“城市试验田” 儿童节特别工作坊
快速重塑一个更绿色健康的自己
每个城市都需要一个健康再生资源和商品的供应，从而使得粮食，水和能源的安全得以保证。“城市试验田”呼吁人们立即采取行动，每个生活在城市的人都应该在有意识的生活，知情消费，个人行为所产生的公众影响等反面提高认知。我们致力于激发城市里的年轻人和家庭从传统生活过渡到自觉的生活，并采取行动，保持健康。
“城市试验田”为突破性的对话营造了一个全新的参与式的学习环境。该项目将展示怎样以一个创新的，以社区为重点的行动去实现可持续的生活方式。5个迷你“试验田”将接连由这些人为您呈现：艺术家，教育工作者，绿色运动倡导者
城市试验田，由“新单位”策划并呈现。
新单位通过为公司，个人和组织建立体验式和“无教师”式学习管理机制，实现真正的开放式创新。我们营造互动参与式的学习体验环境，为参与者对接中国创意、科技、以及社会创新领域的精英，以主持及开展“建设性”对话的形式来寻求“颠覆型”解决方案。我们引导参与者走出自己的“舒适区”，融入个人和团队的力量尝试改变。这不仅能激发灵感，增加信心，带来变革，更让参与者有更强的归属感，从而促进个人和组织创新上的飞跃。这当然不仅仅为了产生更多想法，更是赋予了其实现的可能。
新单位社群代表着几千名热爱并扎根于中国创意，科技及社会公益事业的人们，我们从彼此身上寻求灵感，展开对话，共同探求创新并且可持续性的解决方案。[/lang_cn]
