Philips volunteers teach at Cangchang Primary School

On the afternoon of 9th May, eighteen Philips volunteers came to Cangchang Primary School in Malu Town to interact with 108 students in 5th and 6th grade.
 
By the means of a short animated film, the volunteers introduced the concept of trade. In the Treasure Hunting session, students were encouraged to think creatively and to seek out the original place of the “treasures”. Ideas such as “import” and “export” were shared as well.
 
The whole activity was diverse and engaging and well received by the students. The candy game in particular enabled the students to obtain candies they like through multi exchanges (trading), so that their satisfaction was constantly increased. They enjoyed the first-hand experience of the benefits of trading.
 
The class atmosphere evolved as well, from silence to happy chaos. Many kids did not want to take breaks and hoped to continue.
 
The school authority gave very positive recognition to the activity and hopes that more could be brought to the school.
