20211110環境暨空污教育研討會

協辦環境暨空污教育研討會，改善你我家園。

(撰文/謝宇情)

日前(110/11/10)於高雄市立小港醫院的四樓第一會議室舉辦「環境暨空污教育研討會」，研討會的宗旨是希望人民重視空污問題以及討論如何達到改善的成效。為了普及大眾及時效性，會議現場採直播進行。參與者包括教育局謝文斌局長、文藻USR計畫協同主持人陳泰良老師、太平國小鍾享龍校長、小港醫院洪志興副院長、高雄醫學大學公共衛生學系陳培詩主任、高雄醫學大學環境醫學研究中心吳明蒼執行長、地球公民基金會王敏玲副執行長、小港高中陳建民校長、小港醫院陳思嘉主任，以及其他多位長官和貴賓。

近年來，環境空污問題日益嚴重。從窗戶望出去的霧霾、人們身體出現的呼吸道疾病，甚至是地球的氣候變得異常，都和「空污」脫不了關係。若要真正根本的對空污問題進行改善，必須從落實空污教育入手，與孩童們的課綱接軌，畢竟維護環境的根本是每一位人民的責任。

此會議共分三個場次。首先，由太平國小鍾享龍校長主講「十面霾伏下的空污教育危機與轉機～太平國小空污課綱設計經驗分享」。從小就生活在高雄的鍾校長，對於空污有著非常深刻的感受，了解其帶來的影響有多大。鍾校長演說中提到，從每天都會經過營口路和高松路口的嚴重霧霾，到澄清湖的乾旱；又或者是前陣子高雄桃源區的明霸克露橋遭湍急水流沖斷。這些現象不僅是全球暖化和極端氣候所造成，同時也是環境給予人們的警訊。此時，我們是否應停下腳步看看周遭？用行動帶來改善，並且深刻了解：「我們不再是局外人」。

此外，關於空污教育的部分，鍾校長認為若是能利用科技導入空污課程，學習起來會更有趣，因此開發了「十面霾伏」app，讓孩童們更生動的學習，並在app中導入 AR及VR來輔助教學，而這些課程教學的背後，必須透過跨域結盟分工，才能達到良好的效果。例如：太平國小編撰主題課程，中山大學設計道具，還有小港醫院進行計畫等等。總之，我們應該把「想法」變成「做法」，說一丈不如行一寸，將這些危機化為轉機。

接下來，由高雄醫學大學公共衛生學系陳培詩主任主講『高醫空氣污染與健康之跨領域學習規劃』。陳主任已在十年前開始針對環境空污做相關的研究，發現城市空污問題急迫需要被改善。近期高雄醫學大學推動跨域創新的「空氣污染與健康微學程」，以社會教育與社會回饋為主軸，不但讓學生們在教室上課，也輔導學生考取證照，還帶領他們到居民的家中測量空氣品質。為的是讓學生了解空污與健康中的議題，知悉相關知識後，改變態度與行為，應用於健康促進與環境保護之相關課題，並內化成生活的一部份，將專業回饋給社區。除此之外，老師們也鼓勵學生修習「職業衛生管理學程與微學程」，除了考取專業證照之外，也實施以「健康宣導-深耕校園」為主軸的一系列活動，例如高醫舉辦的「氣喘營活動」和「棄喘大作戰」，都是這類積極進行校園健康衛教的宣導活動，而這些課程的初衷就是希望有更多人能重視這個議題。

最後一場則是由地球公民基金會王敏玲副執行長主講的『空污教育的生活提案』。「地球公民基金會」至今已成立14年之久，並以環保團體、公民團體為出發點，屬於非政府、非營利的組織。這幾年，發動了許多項活動，例如：一、後勁國中教育營，開創環境知識課程。這個課程帶領學生走入議題現場，到土壤污染控制場址踏查。二、喚起民眾的環境覺知，製作文宣到市場廣發、主張改革PSI空污指標。三、舉辦環境藝術展覽。例如在高雄駁二打造你我生活的家，從中連結生活消費與工業生產的關係，反省現代文明，鼓勵改變消費習慣。人人都應盡小小的力量，從自己做起，持續推廣簡樸生活、環境教育，並且多多探尋產業轉型與綠色經濟的出路。

除了新冠肺炎之外，空污可說是第二備受關注的議題。不論是空氣中的細懸浮微粒或是移動污染源等等，都造成身體很大的負擔。地球能滿足人類的需要，但滿足不了人類的貪婪，不知不覺中，人們其實正用自私與貪婪在埋葬我們下一代的幸福。未來的每一天，我們都應提倡「改善環境空污，由你我做起！」

Environmental and Air Pollution Education Seminar

By Winnie Hsieh and Peter Chou

On November 11, 2021, the "Environment and Air Pollution Education Seminar" was held in the first conference room on the fourth floor of Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital. The purpose of the seminar is to bring awareness to the problem of air pollution and discuss how to achieve improvements. In order to allow access to a greater audience, the meeting was also broadcasted live. Participants include Director Wenbin Xie of the Education Bureau, Professor Tailiang Chen, co-host of the Wenzao USR Project, President Xianglong Zhong of Taiping Elementary School, Deputy Dean of Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital Zhixing Hong, Director of the Department of Public Health at Kaohsiung Medical University, Peishi Chen, and Executive Director of the Environmental Medicine Research Center of Kaohsiung Medical University Mingcang Wu, Director, Deputy CEO of the Earth Citizen Foundation Minling Wang, Principal Jianmin Chen of Xiaogang High School, Director Sijia Chen of Siaogang Hospital, and many other officials and distinguished guests.

In recent years, the problem of environmental air pollution has become increasingly serious. The smog when we out of the window, the respiratory diseases that people developed, and even the abnormal climate of the earth, are inseparable from "air pollution." To truly and fundamentally improve the air pollution problem, we must start with air pollution education and integrate it with the children’s curriculum. After all, it is the responsibility of everyone to protect the environment.

This conference is divided into three sessions. First, Xianglong Zhong, the principal of Taiping Elementary School, gave a lecture on "The Air Pollution Education Crisis and Resolution - Taiping Elementary School’s Air Pollution Curriculum Design Experience Sharing". Principal Zhong, who has lived in Kaohsiung since he was a child, has a very deep feeling about air pollution and understands the impact of it. In his speech, Principal Zhong mentioned about the severe haze he sees on his way to work, the drought in Chengcheng Lake and the Mingba Kelu Bridge in Kaohsiung’s Taoyuan District, which was damaged by turbulent water a while ago. These phenomena are not only caused by global warming and extreme weather, but they are also warning signs that the environment has given people. During this time, should we stop and just look at the damages? We must take actions to bring improvement: "We are no longer outsiders."

Principal Zhong also believes that learning will be more interesting if technology can be used in air pollution education courses. Therefore, he developed the "Surface Haze" app to allow children to learn more vividly. When integrating AR and VR to facilitate teaching, cross-domain alliances and division of labor must be used in order to achieve good results. For example, Taiping Elementary School compiles the themes of the courses, Sun Yat-sen University designs props, and Siaogang Hospital carries out the plan. In short, we should turn "ideas" into "practices," and turn these crises into opportunities.

Next, Peishi Chen, the director of the Department of Public Health at Kaohsiung Medical University, give a lecture on "Interdisciplinary Learning Planning for Air Pollution and Health in High-tech Medicine". Director Chen started conducting research on environmental air pollution ten years ago and found that the urban air pollution problem urgently needs to be improved. Recently, Kaohsiung Medical University has promoted the cross-domain innovative "Air Pollution and Health Micro-Learning Program", which focuses on social education and social feedback. The program not only includes classroom instruction, it also involves taking students to residents’ homes for air quality measurement, and guides students to obtain licenses. The purpose is to let students understand the issues of air pollution and health. After they have learned the relevant knowledge, it is hoped that they would change their attitudes and behaviors, apply them in their daily life, and give back to their community. The teachers also encourage students to take the "Occupational Health Management Micro Course" where students can obtain professional licenses, but also participate in a series of activities focusing on "Cultivating Health Promotion on Campus". These include Kaohsiung Medical Hospital’s "Asthma Camp" and "Abandoning Asthma Campaign" organized by doctor who actively carry out campus health education. The original intention of these courses is to hope that more people can pay attention to this topic.

The last presentation was "Life Proposal for Air Pollution Education" presented by Deputy Chief Executive Minling Wang of the Earth Citizen Foundation. The "Earth Citizen Foundation" was established 14 years ago and is a non-profit NGO based on environmental groups. In the past few years, many activities have been launched, such as: 1) Houjing Junior High School Education Camp which focuses on environmental knowledge. This course takes students to various sites to learn about soil pollution and its impact on the environment. 2) Going to local markets to arouse the public's environmental awareness and advocate the reform of the PSI air pollution indicator. 3. Organize environmental art exhibitions. For example, in Kaohsiung, you can see a container home, linking the relationship between consumption and industrial production. By reflecting on modern civilization, we can encourage changes in consumption habits. Everyone could make a small effort starting from their own. By continuing to promote simple life and environmental education, we can transform from an industrial economy to a green economy.

In addition to the coronavirus, air pollution can be said to be the second most important issue of concern. Whether it is fine suspended particles in the air or pollution from industries, they cause a great burden on the body. The earth can satisfy human needs, but it cannot satisfy human greed. Unconsciously, people are actually using selfishness and greed to bury the happiness of our next generation. In the future, we should advocate "Improving environmental air pollution, starting from you and me!"
