Buying transparent milk and listening to migrant workers' stories - visiting exhibitions to enhance sustainability   How do you meet a migrant worker? The NGO " One-Forty ", which has been concerned about migrant workers in Taiwan for a long time, set up an exhibition at the "Sustainable Action Carnival" on the 15th and 16th, and asked questions to the visitors.   Most of Taiwanese people know about migrant workers through the news. Negative perceptions or illegal situations such as "gathering a crowd to make trouble" are the most common news content. One-Forty curator Su Xinyi collects news headlines and arranges them on the exhibition billboards with labels. Visitors to the exhibition can tear off these labels if they can empathize with them.   A fourth-grade student not only tore off the label, but also left a message on the board: "Thank you for your dedication to this country and making Taiwan a better place. Come on!" Su Xinyi said, "This is the process of children understanding and accepting multiculturalism." Organized by Vision Engineering Foundation and Social Enterprise Stream, and co-initiated by DBS Bank (Taiwan), the Sustainability Action Carnival will call on people to practice the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through future forums, innovative exhibitions and selection fairs. .   "Students will actually find many problems in their lives," said Li Jixuan, a teacher at Binjiang Experimental Middle School in Taipei City, referring to social issues such as educational inequality, environmental pollution, and urban-rural disparity that have been reported and advocated by the "Vision Project" for a long time. "These problems can actually be solved. , in a sustainable way."   She brought 16 eighth graders to the exhibition hall to understand why "Buy directly from the farmer" sells "ugly fruits and vegetables", and that 46% of food waste actually comes from households. Chen Youwei, a student of Binjiang Real Middle School, bought two ugly apples on the spot. He said that after understanding the problem, it is not that difficult to take action to change. The content of the innovation exhibition is diverse, spanning from education to employment. The " Uniform Platform Education Foundation " and "Teach for Taiwan" (TFT) invited visitors to write down their impressions of Taiwan's education. "Endorsement, examination, fear of failure" was the answer of most people. Wang Yixian, the marketing project manager of Jiuyi, said that the digital learning platform of Jiuyi provides personalized courses; TFT teachers show children in remote areas their self-worth, which are all models of "innovative education", trying to break the problems of the past.   "Beautiful Urban and Rural Exchange" is planned by " Gan Le Cultural and Creative ", which operates an ancient house and art canteen and an after-school companion base in Sanxia District, New Taipei City. The so-called "exchange" is to encourage people to put their interests and skills into places where there is a need for talent.   The exhibition showcases the stories of talents "exchanging" in different counties and cities, including Wang Zhaoqian, the founder of the "Ruan Opera Troupe", who found that there is a problem of uneven distribution of artistic resources between urban and rural areas. Therefore, he took the troupe back to his hometown of Chiayi City and launched "Casual". Theatre Festival” and train actors locally. Sustainable development goals include "responsible production and consumption". In the sustainable selection market, the milk bottles sold by Fresh Milk Shop and Carrefour have QR codes on them. When the public scans them on the spot, they will be connected to the dairy farms and the number of the cows that produced the milk. The transparency of production information can give consumers peace of mind and see the importance of animal welfare. The sustainable beauty care brand " Green Vine Life " not only uses 100% recycled plastic as product packaging, but also tries to improve the pollution of marine debris. Up to 33% of the packaging ingredients of Green Vine Vitality's recently launched shampoo products are made from discarded fishing nets.   "Sustainable Action Carnival" brings together sustainable activists from all fields and regardless of age. Citizens not only watch the exhibition, but also contribute the wisdom of the masses to the issue. You are more influential than you think!   The full text is reproduced from the Vision Engineering Foundation , the original title: Buying ugly fruits and vegetables and transparent milk, listening to the stories of migrant workers and remote villages to promote sustainability
