Following the World Wood Day 2017’s theme, “Roots”, 17 wood artists from both China and overseas were invited to the school to show their art and skills of wood, and share their passion and love of wood with the students. It was a great opportunity for students there to learn crafts and exchange closely by following the international artists face to face. This cultural exchange activity aims to showcase the beauty of wood art, pass passion of wood to the special education students, and sow the seed of love in wood into their deep heart.
World Wood Day is a cultural event celebrated annually during the week of March 21st to highlight wood as an eco-friendly and renewable biomaterial and to raise awareness on the key role wood plays in a sustainable world. Starting from 2013, WWD celebrations were held in Tanzania, China, Turkey, Nepal, and United States respectively, involving participants from over 100 countries and regions.
