活動宗旨與目標 (Purpose and Objectives)：

This workshop was divided into two major themes: Practical Regenerative Living and Circular Economy Collage. Together, these sessions aimed to promote sustainable habits, ecological awareness, and experience about regenerative systems. The workshop was held in English - thus providing plenty of opportunities to the students to express themselves in that language and practice specialized vocabulary.

1.1 Practical Regenerative Living

The goals of the practical regenerative living sessions were:
Understanding Composting Principles:

• Getting introduced to the principles of composting, students learned what compost is, how organic waste decomposes, and how composting reduces landfill pollution. The session highlighted what materials can and cannot be composted, and explained how compost enriches soil with nutrients and improves moisture retention.

Building a Keyhole (Raised) Garden:

• The workshop introduced the concept of a keyhole garden, designed for efficient water use, nutrient cycling, and accessibility. Students explored the holistic method of layering compost, soil, and organic materials to create a productive micro-ecosystem.This demonstrate how to create a keyhole garden (raised garden), emphasizing holistic and regenerative approaches to growing healthy food.

Introduction to Kombucha:

• Participants discovered how natural fermentation transforms fruits and herbs into healthy enzyme drinks, teas, and probiotics. They learned the role of beneficial microorganisms, how fermentation enhances nutrition and digestion, how natural ingredients can be used to make low-cost, sustainable beverages.

1.2 Circular Economy Collage
The Circular Economy Collage is a 3-hour collaborative workshop that explores circular economy principles, rethinks resource use, and co-creates sustainable solutions. The objectives of this section were to:

Introduce Core Concepts of the Circular Economy:
Students examined how current systems extract resources, manufacture products, and generate waste, and how these processes harm ecosystems.

Visualize Systemic Impact:
Through card placement and group discussions, participants mapped key stages of the linear economy—resource extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal.

 Explore Sustainable Solutions:
The activity transitioned into circular economy principles such as:

• design for longevity,
• repair and reuse models,
• recycling loops,
• redesigning systems to eliminate waste.

Encourage Critical Thinking:
Students collaborated to imagine practical, real-world solutions that shift society from a linear to a circular model. This fostered teamwork, innovation, and systems thinking.

課堂概述：

The workshop blended theory, hands- on experience, and group discussions to help participants internalize sustainability concepts.

These activities encourage students how to grow healthy food, embrace a zero-waste lifestyle, and connect people in sharing regenerative and sustainable ideas.

2.1 Practical Regenerative Living Sessions

• Students experienced composting by their own hands: they examined soil samples with and without compost, comparing texture, smell, and appearance. This helped them visually understand how compost restores soil vitality. Participants also experienced the whole process of building a keyhole garden.

•  Students learned to make fermented drinks using fruits and enzymes, exploring both health benefits and flavor. Gained awareness of how fermentation supports good nutrition, boosts immunity, and promotes sustainable food practices.

This session helped students experience how regeneration can begin at home—through food, soil, and daily habits.

2.1 The Circular Economy Collage

The second session unfolded in two major chapters:

• In the first chapter, the students came to understand the current economic system (called the linear system) by placing cards on a board. In the second chapter, they learned about the circular economy system, and thought of actions and solutions associated with it, to solve the problems of our current system. Teams brainstormed solutions such as: product repair centers, biodegradable packaging, community compost systems, regenerative farming techniques.

This session helped students in their understanding of global challenges and encouraged students to imagine themselves as agents of change.

Practical Regenerative Living
Brief Lecture on Composting: Introduced the fundamentals of composting — including its purpose, process, and environmental benefits. Discussed how organic waste transforms into nutrient-rich compost that improves soil health and supports sustainable agriculture. How organic waste breaks down through natural decomposition, the role of microorganisms in transforming waste into nutrient-rich compost,and how compost enhances soil structure, fertility, and moisture retention.

• Hands-on Experience: Took students to the field for a practical session where they could observe and participate in the composting process. Allowed them to handle organic materials, mix compost into the soil, and witness firsthand how composting contributes to waste reduction and soil enrichment. In addition, students engaged in regenerative gardening activities:
  • Practically planted seeds in the keyhole garden, applying the principles of soil layering and nutrient cycling.
  • Learned about essential seed requirements, including sunlight, water, soil composition, spacing, and nutrition.
  • Understood how keyhole garden design supports efficient water use, natural fertilization, and long-term soil regeneration.

This experience helped students connect composting, gardening, and sustainability in a holistic, hands-on way.

Circular Economy Collage:
In the first chapter, the students learned about the current economic system (called the linear system) by placing cards on a board. In the second chapter, they learned about the circular economy system, and thought of actions and solutions associated with it, to solve the problems of our current system.

1. Reading the cards to identify key stages and issues within today’s economic system.
2. Reconsider the problems by discussing how linear production leads to waste, resource depletion, pollution, and unsustainable consumption patterns.
3. Discuss the solutions: students collaboratively brainstromed solutions associated with circular economy principles. These included long-lasting production, reducing material waste, creating community recycling systems, recourage responsicle consumption, and supporting regenerative agriculture.

• I'm really like Clémence, she such a friendly, kind, nice teacher. She guided us to match right answers , giving us a lot of time to read the paper words. I have been a long time not to speak and read English, this moment is a good opportunity to practice my speaking!
• 有趣好玩，受益匪淺，學到了很多很多以前不知道的神奇知識，同時也可以了解到一些以前未曾注意到的事情
• 今天很多英文其實聽不太懂，感覺出來學到跟永續有關以外的課程感覺學習最多的是英文口說的部分，感覺練了好多口說
• 非常感謝法國來的老師 ，用卡片引導我們認識了很多有關：工業汙染、家庭環保汙染、開發礦產等各種污染，這些造成溫室效應器或氣候變遷等各種問題。讓我們體會到環保之永續發展的重要，最重要的事要讓我們應用在日常生活中。非常感謝老師助教們的熱心教導，感謝你們！還有便當很好吃喔！
• 今天上了有關於永續發展循環，雖然有一些聽不懂意思但是我還是有努力的聽單字靠簡單的去了解，我覺得最有趣的是老師發有關卡片給我們念上面英文就有學到很多關於永續中哪一些都方式去做改變或是其他的方法
• 今天學習了資源、造成的問題、如何解決、影響到什麼等等。也練習了英文的口語，雖然還有單字會卡住然後唸不出來，不過老師都很善良幫助我，這堂課我覺得很有趣，上的很也快樂！

• 老師今天叫我們如何做發酵的飲料，看起來好像很好吃又很營養，很好做又很營養衛生，很適合自己動手做，只要加上酵素跟各種水果飲料就可以！真是很好的飲料！感謝老師的教導！便當很好吃！謝謝你們！

• 今天課堂上彼得跟我們介紹了一些香草，像是羅勒、九層塔還有一些調味料像是薑等等。喔我們還做了普洱茶，利用茶包、糖還有彼得之前就釀好像是酵素的東西，聞起來有發酵過後的味道，酸酸的，就是不知道喝起來的味道是甚麼?
• 經過這次活動可以知曉許多對於環境各種方面的知識。可以檢討自己的行為、也可以審視周邊環境有哪些設施、政策是因為環境永續而改變。
• 老師介紹了一些植物都是常見的可以跟食物一起吃的，有兩本書是植物的裡面一些雖然沒有看過就可以學到還有一起製作普洱茶也有聞老師做的柚子要去用茶的聞起來很像水果醋的味道，就是可以學到循環經濟跟植物這些的。
• 今天在這裡我認識到了人類對於環境的破壞，還有該如何去拯救者千瘡百孔的地球，同時還學習到了許多有關於此的英文單字，可以說是受益良多

• 非常感謝彼得老師這麼認真的準備，功夫茶給我們喝，味道不太好聞，但是品嚐起來很好。到花園種了很多花的種子和花，希望幾個禮拜之後能夠有好的結果，雖然在這種土地不容易成長，非常感謝彼得老師、感謝助教、感謝學校
• 雖然我只參加了第一次的工作坊，但我也學到很多，第一堂課老師帶我們去他的花園，看他如何照顧他的植物，還有都是用些什麼在做堆肥，那一座小山都是老師日積月累的成果，裡面也有一定的溫度
• 我覺得這次的活動很有趣，老師介紹了不少植物跟種植方法，我還蠻喜歡之前老師帶我們一起泡茶的課
• 今天去了學校沒去過的地方，有點新奇，老師還讓我們看了好多種子，並把它們種下去。像是火焰萵苣、芝麻葉等等，我覺得非常有趣，因為平常不一定有機會看見或吃到這些菜，這次的課能見到他們並認識他們我覺得很有趣。
• 這次老師帶了茶給我們喝，喝起來有酸甜的味道還有氣泡雖然喝到最後口感很像酒的味道還是不錯喝的，後來老師帶著我們去小花園是種植植物的地方，種了一些的小種子在裡面，就很有趣、很開心的上完今天的課
• 感受到Peter老師對這次工作坊的熱情，老師很盡心力將自己所準備的呈現給大家，但比較可惜大部分同學因為聽不懂全英文所以有些興趣缺缺，但我也在此活動認識契合的新朋友，也很高興有這次機會讓我使用英文！
• I'm completely gald joining Peter's workshop where l can learn plenty of plants 🪴 seeds and kombucha and so on. The new knowledges already fullfill my freshman first year.  I will encourage everyone who want to aquire multiple pace in your university life.
• 活動整體充實之餘還富有樂趣，除此之外也有很多新奇的體驗和課程，除此之外最後一堂課的內容更是非常有趣，包括一開始的康普茶，味道非常獨特好玩
