開心順利完成這遲來的海邊郊遊！來自台灣兩個不同區域的嚮光青年第一次齊聚一堂參加工作坊，我們很興奮可以共同學習以行動支持海洋保育，在淨灘、沙雕體驗、吃刨冰消暑和享用豐富的純植料理的活動中，我們得到更多知識，被夏季的陽光曬黑了一點，還結交到更多朋友！（English below )

我們先在福隆海水浴場集合，海洋保育的課程在炎熱的氣溫下展開，再分成幾組進行淨灘，暨宜蘭海岸國家風景區管理處說他們兩天前已經請專業的清潔工維持整潔，即便如此，海灘上仍有大量的垃圾，像是塑膠袋、菸蒂、寶特瓶，甚至輪胎，我們感到很震驚，青年的任務是除了撿起垃圾，並試著拍照紀錄；希望透過活動讓我們看見海邊不只有美好的部分，也認知到我們對海灘帶來的負面影響，能有意識地減少使用一次性消費品。
我們的活動向來用簡單的形式進行；嚮光準備了可重複使用的手套和手帕，並請每個人攜帶自己的水壺，也準備可重新充裝的飲用水，以避免使用塑膠瓶！一個乾淨的海攤不僅有助於仰賴潔淨生態系統生存的動物和人類，我們也能好好享受它，比如在大自然賦予我們的畫布上創造一座美麗的沙雕！
這個夏天，有幸得到台灣首屈一指的雕塑家，金炎沙藝的 John，給予的專業指導，我們在著名的福隆沙雕節期間進行沙雕創作！我們對他的巨型沙雕感到驚奇無比，也感謝福容大飯店提供場地，並讓我們有機會接觸到這些傑作，雖然無法在短短的兩小時內掌握 John 磨練多年的工藝，但我們還是體驗到了創作時所需的耐心。
每一天和每一刻都是值得學習的時機，如同教育不僅限於教室裡，炙熱的夏季使活動充滿艱辛，但我們學著團結，共同達成我們的目標。感謝一起參與的孩子，希望您們能持續支持我們的衝浪體驗營！感謝萬華社工帶領孩子搭車，以及桃園陸祥育幼院的叔叔阿姨送孩子過來。
我們喜愛沙雕老師 John，很期待他接下來的新計畫，感謝福隆大飯店贊助展覽門票，感謝 Sara 精心策畫的活動，也感謝所有大朋友和贊助者，讓我們期待已久的活動得以成行，嚮光會繼續為青年帶來更多生活體驗和戶外學習的機會！

After over a year delay for our beach outing due to COVID, we were happy to finally make it to the ocean! This was the first time for two groups of our youths from different parts of Taiwan to join in a workshop together so it was very exciting for us to be able to work together learning and acting on ocean conservation together. From beach clean ups, sand sculpting, a cool down in between with the local shaved icy and fueled by a massive plant-based meal, we all left with more knowledge, bit tanner, and made a few more friends than the day before!
Gathering in the morning at Fulong Beach, we began the hot day with a mini ocean conservation lesson and broke into groups for beach cleanup. We were surprised that despite the Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area, Tourism Bureau telling us they just hired professional cleaners two days ago, we were still able to find so much trash from plastic bags, cigarette butts, drink bottles, and even a huge car tire. Youth were given the task of photo documenting each item and we hope that through this exercise we can not only see the positive impact that we have on the beaches we hope to enjoy, but also learn our role in the negative impact and hopefully curb our consumption of single use disposables.
Our action can come in the form of simple things; Bright Side brought reusable work gloves and hand towels, asked everyone to bring their own water bottles, and prepared over 15 liters of refillable water so that we could avoid plastic bottles. Making the beach clean not only helps the animals (and also us) that depend on a clean ecosystem to survive but also allows us to enjoy it – such as creating beautiful sand sculptures from the canvas that nature provides for us!
This summer we had the unique opportunity to create sand sculptures during the world famous Fulong Sand Sculpting Festival under the tutelage of Taiwan’s premier sculptors, John from 金炎沙藝! We were so in awe of the massive sculptures he created and so thankful for Fullon Fulong Hotel for providing the space and giving us access to the masterpieces. While we might not have been able to master his years long honed craft in just 2 hours, we were better able to appreciate the patience in creating sand art.
Each day and moment is a learning opportunity as education does not always only happen in classrooms. With the heat it was a difficult day but we also learned that we can still work together to learn and achieve our goals.
Thank you so much to our kids for joining and we hope everyone will be back for our delayed surf camp! Thank you social workers from Wanhua for making the train ride out with kids and Auntie and Uncle from Taoyuan MuHsiang Children’s Home for driving their kids over!
We love our sand sculpture teacher John and am so excited to see his upcoming new projects, Fullon Fulong Hotel for tickets to the exhibition, Sara for being the most amazing project manager, and all of our Big Friend volunteers and most of all our sponsors who made this trip possible. We hope to be able to bring more life experiences and outdoors hands on education opportunities to our youth.
