Facing various pressing environmental problems, societies around the world are making great efforts to promote different sustainable measures to mitigate the damage we have caused to nature. Yet, our ancestors had long established a way of collaborating with nature, and they made their living from nature and used it for nature. Let us spend a day learning to reconnect nature as our home through stories, games and hands-on activities, and gain wisdom from the Chinese culture's concept of unity of nature and humanity. Through this programme, we explore sustainable living in daily practices.
