Earth Day 2020 地球日 | Share. Inspire. Take action. 珍爱地球，与自然和谐共生

Today is Earth Day 🌍, a very meaningful date for our community. Since our first steps back in 1997, commitment to environmental sustainability has always been our flag and main guideline.

今天是2020年地球日 🌍,这对HQIS社区是一个具有特殊意义的日子。我校自1997年建校以来，一直致力于提倡绿色环保和人与自然和谐发展的理念。

When school campus was located in the Xijiao Park in Changning District, the closest place to nature in the city. Children were surrounded by nature, with tadpoles in spring and fireflies in summer.

坐落在长宁区上海动物园内的旧校区，孩子们有大把的机会，去亲临并观摩动物一年四季的习性，春天的小蝌蚪，夏天的萤火虫，探索人与自然的和谐共处是学校课程重要的组成部分。

The uniqueness of the natural environment at Shanghai Zoo even attracted one of the most famous anthropologists and biologists in the world, Jane Goodall. Teachers and students of Hongqiao International collaborated with Jane Goodall, learning about her work and designing, with her, the Apes Pavilion of Shanghai Zoo.

世界级的人类学家、生物学家、动物行为学家和著名动物保护人士Jane Goodall（珍妮·古道尔）来中国，第一个参访的就是虹桥国际学校。虹桥国际学校的老师与学生与她朝夕相处，一起参与学习和设计了上海动物园的猩猩馆。

In 2006, we held the very first Earth Day ever in all of China, attracting around 10.000 people who could visit a vast number of “cultural villages” organized by the school teachers and parents. Nearly a thousand families from all around the world gathered together to exchange experiences on environmental protection and ecological diversity. The first Earth Day at HQIS aroused the attention of all people living in Shanghai and abroad.

2006年，HQIS在上海动物园举办了首届地球日庆典，吸引了近万人参与。学校老师和志愿者家庭布置的一个个“小小国际文化村”点缀成了美丽的“万国坪”，近千个国际家庭齐聚一堂，交流环保和生态多样化的经验。首次地球日庆典反响热烈，唤起了所有居住在上海的海内外人士对生态问题的关注。

In early February, when the coronavirus epidemic broke out in China. Hong Qiao International School launched "Project Planet", a first time, “call to arms” academic, research and community action project. We asked students to assume the role of ‘Guardians of The Planet’ and ‘Ambassadors of The Community’. The project’s purpose is to encourage students to be creative, conduct research, think critically and present the project in creative formats. The results have been impressive-exceeding our expectations.

今年，受疫情影响，我们不得不推迟了地球日庆典活动。为了延续HQIS地球日的传统，学校于疫情期间启动了“地球计划”，呼吁所有同学承担地球守护者和世界大使的角色，运用自己所学进行思考，展开调研，以创造性的设计和方式呈现项目。迄今我们已经收到了许多令人惊叹的项目成果。我们为我们的学生感到骄傲和自豪。
