The event, titled “2024 ANOBO ‘1 World’ Children’s Global Competence Education Panel Discussion at the United Nations Headquarters, New York,”was organized by the NO-BOundaries nonprofit organization in collaboration with various international schools, institutions, and artists. The 2024 annual children’s global competence education launch kicked off with a special exhibition featuring creative art pieces from children across the globe, conveying their vivid ideas and feelings. The exhibition hall displayed the artworks sequentially, with the children’s dynamic brushstrokes coming to life in vibrant colors, presenting a cross-cultural and artistic feast. The exhibition comprised two sections: “Growing Peace” and “1 Planet.”

“Growing Peace” featured collaborative art created by students from Beijing Montessori International School, Italian artist Jacopo Della Ragione, and New York youth. Children from Beijing and their peers in New York worked together to produce a symbolic piece of art. Young artists such as Feiyu Chen, Ziming Huang, Valerie Wang, Nova Wang, Jerry Zhang, Jay Wu, Joshua Minghong Li, Louise Roux, Lucas Wang, Lucien Wang, Vincent Liu, William Wu, William Zhang, Xinyang Qin, Xinyue Qin, Yitong Wang, and Zuzanna Pawlaczyk-Pan, guided by artist Jacopo Della Ragione, contributed to this creation. Their artwork conveys the ideas of cooperation and respect, aiming to promote awareness and pursuit of peace on Earth.

The art was drawn on paper cut into the shape of two hands coming together to form a peace dove. The children used colored crayons to freely depict their longing for world peace. These drawings were then attached to a “tree” outlined by the children, symbolizing the vibrant life of peace thoughts and the growth of children nurturing dreams of peace.

The “1 Planet” section emphasizes human connections, linking young artists from different regions to create collaboratively. Each child painted their vision of the world on a semi-circular paper representing half of a “planet.” These “half-worlds” were matched with another child’s artwork to merge into “1 World.” The process highlighted the diverse understandings of a single planet, showing how future developments are rooted in history, and how cultural respect and exchange enrich the macrocosm of our universe.

The fusion of art and education allowed the children’s boundless imaginations to be concretized and visualized, further stimulating their creativity. Through the artistic creation process, children actively discovered and explored the world, understood their connection to it, recognized its diversity, and developed an awareness of “unity in diversity” while expressing their hopes for peace and envisioning the future world. This unique educational approach enlightens the children’s minds, helping them build bridges between themselves and the broader world through exploration and discovery.

During the interactive session, host Wang Zaozao invited Khalid Sulaiman Ba Omar, Permanent Observer of the Gulf Cooperation Council to the United Nations, and Henry Ye, Director of the NO-BOundaries nonprofit organization, to interact with the children. Omar encouraged the children to fully utilize their artistic talents to contribute to world peace and become future peace ambassadors.

Subsequently, representatives from Beijing Montessori International School, China Soong Ching Ling Youth Science and Culture Exchange Center, ANOBO Global Sustainable Development Goal Ambassadors, and bloggers Guo Yushan, Michael Xiang, Du Kefi, Qian Kangming, Roger Eckner, and Allyana Filiault etc took turns giving speeches on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, expressing their understanding and hopes regarding environmental protection, poverty alleviation, and international cooperation.

The children’s speeches on sustainable development not only showcased their deep understanding of the topic but also reflected their valuable experiences gained through hands-on practice. On August 1 and 2, student representatives from the ANOBO “1 world” children’s global competence education program participated in the Educational Field Program at  Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. They collaborated with leading geologists, marine scientists, and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory team to explore the Hudson River field station and the Earth and Polar Sciences Department. Guided by researchers, the children learned about marine food chains, conducted water quality and clarity tests, compared glacier melting rates, and analyzed laboratory data to deepen their scientific understanding. This experience enhanced their scientific inquiry skills and deepened their environmental awareness, instilling a sense of responsibility for the future and driving them to become active advocates and ambassadors for sustainable development.

This special panel disscussion was not just a practice in art education but also an exploration of the world. It is believed that the event will nurture the children’s creativity and imagination, inspire their hopes for peace and visions for a sustainable future, and encourage them to broaden their horizons and strengthen their sense of social responsibility. Let us look forward to these hopeful seeds blossoming into brilliant flowers in the future, bringing more beauty to the world!

DISCUSSIONS ARE ALWAYS

BETTER THAN ARGUMENTS,

because an argument is to

find out who is right, and

a discussion is to find what is right.

Firing a $70,000 missile from a $28,000,000 drone flying at a cost of $3,624 per hour to kill people in the Middle East living on less than $1 per day.

We live in a country where if you want to go bomb somebody, there’s remarkably little discussion about how much it might cost. But then you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist people who are suffering, then suddenly we become very cost-conscious.

As the world’s 18th largest trading nation, Taiwan is currently institutionalizing trade relations with mainland China (its largest trading partner), while simultaneously making efforts to pursue regional, bilateral trade agreements. For example, on July 10th 2013, Taiwan and New Zealand signed an economic cooperation agreement (ANZTEC), Taiwan’s first free trade deal with a developed country. Later that year on November 7th 2013, Taiwan and Singapore signed an economic partnership agreement (ASTEP) . We are also in contact with other potential partners in Asia and Europe in the hope of concluding more such accords.

In addition to bilateral negotiations, we must take part in regional arrangements. Given that Taiwan’s trade with the 12 members of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) in 2013 accounted for 34% of Taiwan’s total external trade, we believe Taiwan’s membership in the TPP would definitely be beneficial not only for Taiwan , but also for all TPP member states.
