槺榔國小 × 印度 Him Academy・聯合國永續發展目標(SDGs)交流

Two Goals, Two Countries 兩個目標,兩個國家

Our sixth graders held an international exchange with students from Him Academy Public School in India, built around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The focus was on SDG 12, responsible consumption and production, and SDG 13, climate action — with the “three Rs” at its heart: reduce, reuse, recycle.

六年級學生與印度 Him Academy Public School 進行了一場結合聯合國永續發展目標(SDGs)的交流,聚焦 SDG 12「負責任的消費與生產」與 SDG 13「氣候行動」,核心是「三 R」——減量、再利用、回收。

In groups, our students presented Taiwan's recycling system and showed how everyday objects can be reused — even turning plastic bottles, paper, and cardboard into useful tools and creative toys. The Indian students gave individual reports on how the three Rs work in their own community.

我們分組簡報,介紹台灣完善的資源回收制度,示範如何重複使用物品,甚至把寶特瓶、紙張與紙板做成實用工具或創意玩具。印度學生則以個人報告,分享他們在當地實踐三 R 的做法。

A Real Reason to Speak English 練好英文的真實理由

Throughout the reports our students did their very best in English, while the Indian students spoke wonderfully fluently. The exchange widened everyone's view of the world.

報告過程中,我們努力以英文呈現最佳表現,印度學生則展現出流利的英語能力。這次交流也拓展了大家的國際視野。

More than that, it gave our students a real reason to keep improving — so that one day they can connect with the world even more confidently.

更重要的是,它讓孩子有了持續進步的真實動機——期許未來能更自信、流暢地與世界接軌。

“We are different countries, but we both love the planet.”

我們是不同的國家,但我們都愛這個星球。
