Description of Our Community: Our project aims at surveying the ecology and culture activities of the rivulets that flow into the upstream of Nan-Shih Stream in Fu-Shan Village, Wu-Lai Township, Ta)ipei County, Taiwan. The ecology surveys cover the streams and areas bordering them. The culture activities surveys include the migration of tribes along the streams, what occupations were born by the streams in the past, and the interaction between the natural environment and people in Nan-Shih area.
Project Description: We have to look to the origin of a culture, that is, the rivers it depends on, for its source. After all, cultures are nurtured by rivers, and human communities usually develop alongside the rivers.
Tranan, which flows into the upstream of Nan-Shih Stream in Northern Taiwan, is full of implications. We can say that the community cultures in Wu-Lai region depend thoroughly on Nan-Shih Stream, and the Tayal cultures in Wu-Lai flows with Tranan Stream. In this Cyber Fair project, we tried to warm up, deepen and enrich the implications of Tranan, and find out how to sustain the Tranan culture through the share effort of the school and the community in surveying the ecology and culture activities of Tranan.
By means of joining the International Schools CyberFair, the students can be motivated and encouraged to find out their cultural essence in their everyday life. They start to know the cultures derived from the mother river and know more about their birth place. When they have full understanding of their own culture, they can be able to reflect on their present life.
