In the light of intangible cultural heritage Shimao built a dream for Chinese teenagers

The current “traditional cultural education” not only shoulders a special mission of the times, but also faces breakthroughs and innovations. Shimao keenly perceives that only by deepening and re-mining traditional Chinese culture, and trying to invent a new educational concept and model to make it integrated into the times and life, can  truly cultivate cultural perception as well as inheriting sense of mission among the young generation, to fundamentally blaze a path for traditional Chinese cultural education, reshape the cultural confidence, and then carry it forward.

Shimao injects impetus into intangible cultural heritage 

Cheer for the culture confidence of the youth

On November 15, 2020, at Shuitingmen, Quzhou, together with the national first-level publisher, Fudan University Press, Shimao officially launched the second series of “Intangible Cultural Heritage Stories”, which once again pushed a focus on Chinese intangible cultural heritage education. This first launch demonstrated Shimao’s innovation and exploration in education for the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage, also pointed out the direction for industry and education counterparts through the precise landing of “education plus public welfare”, calling on all sectors of the society to do their best to participate in the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage.

Build a bridge for international cultural transmission

For the promotion and development of intangible cultural heritage in education, “humanity, art, and skills” are factors mainly focused on in inheritance, while there’s a greater concern with “science and technology” in innovation, then “inheritance” and “innovation” are Split.

Therefore, in 2019, Photosynthetic Education Community established a cross-border team composed of educated teachers, industrial designers, and executive editors, and chose projects on intangible culture inheritance with “local characteristics, artistic achievements, and scientific value” to allow the research team to communicate and discuss in person with inheritors, and eventually formed the first 26-volume standardized course, “Intangible Cultural Heritage Stories”, combining “intangible culture inheritance” theme and “STEM scientific exploration”.

Over the past four years, it has taken root in more than 50 cities and over 100 communities, and benefit more than 300,000 families, and thus accumulated a large number of loyal fans.

In November 2019, as soon as the intangible cultural heritage courses were completed, Shimao Photosynthetic Education Community implemented the “One City, One Intangible Cultural Heritage” STEM courses into the “Spectacled Brother for children with serious illnesses” project, which was dedicated to helping children aged 0-14 who are suffering from major diseases, and promote their physical and mental recovery with the power and creative courses of intangible cultural heritage.
