In early 2016, we launched the program called ‘Gift from Land: Local Farm-Culture Experience Course’, with three different Secondary Schools, including more than 60 participants. After the course, they will travel to and participate in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, Japan in 2018, to assist in different artists’ creations.
During the course, we led students to learn maintenance of the organic farm, includes sowing, composting, watering, harvesting, also observing what our nature needs. Other diverse activities such as using real plant stencils to create artworks, collaborating in making environmental installations, producing natural enzyme cleaner, and cooking fresh local food. etc. In trying to let the participants re-think the possibility of a sustainable future can be, by experiencing a kind of natural lifestyle.
