CLASS OF 2030

G8 Community Project

This year, the Class of 2030 proudly presented their Community Project Exhibition — a milestone in a year of meaningful learning, growth, and action.

The Community Project is a cornerstone of the MYP at UISG: a year‑long journey in which students choose a community they care about and design creative, practical ways to make a positive impact. Working through the project cycle — Investigation, Planning, Action, and Reflection — our Grade 8 students strengthened empathy, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.

From the first brainstorming sessions in September, students identified communities and personal interests, then set ambitious goals. Topics this year were wide‑ranging: body image and mental health, environmental sustainability, the arts, music, sports, war trauma, and more. From October to early December, students worked in pairs, groups of three, or independently, conducting research through interviews, surveys, observations, and media review. They refined proposals, and submitted detailed plans to supervisors for feedback. They moved into the Action phase in January and February, delivering service or working on their products inside and beyond our school.

Highlights of the projects this year include:

On Thursday, March 26, Grade 8 shared their work with peers, teachers, and parents in the ULC. The exhibition showcased their passion, perseverance, and commitment to being caring global citizens — a true celebration of service, creativity, and community spirit.

The learning continues: students are now entering Reflection phase, using feedback from community members, peers, teachers, and parents to evaluate both their service and their growth. They’ll finalize their projects and present formally to supervisors at the end of April.

Beyond the direct benefits to the communities they served, the Community Project prepares our students for the Year 10 Personal Project and the rigors of the Diploma Programme — building skills that will serve them for years to come.

CLASS OF 2030

G8 Community Project

今年，今年2030届学子自豪地呈现了他们的社区项目展览——这是充满意义的学习、成长与行动的一年中的一座里程碑。

社区项目是UISG中学项目（MYP）的基石之一：这是一段历时一年的探索旅程，学生们选择自己关心的社区，设计富有创意且切实可行的方法，去产生积极的影响。八年级的同学们遵循项目周期——调研、规划、行动、反思——在过程中增强了同理心、协作能力、沟通技巧和批判性思维。

从九月份最初的那场头脑风暴开始，学生们明确了关注的社区和个人的兴趣，继而设定了富有挑战的目标。今年的课题非常广泛：身体意象与心理健康、环境可持续性、艺术、音乐、体育、战争创伤等等。从十月到十二月初，学生们以两人组、三人组或独立的形式开展工作，通过访谈、问卷、观察和媒体回顾等方式进行研究。他们不断优化方案，向指导老师提交详细计划以获取反馈。一月至二月，他们进入行动阶段，在校内外提供直接服务或完成自己的作品。

今年项目的亮点包括：

3月26日（星期四），八年级师生在ULC与同伴、老师和家长分享了他们的成果。这次展览充分展现了同学们的热情、毅力以及作为富有爱心世界公民的担当——这真正是一场关于服务、创造力和社区精神的庆典。

学习仍在继续：学生们现已进入反思阶段，利用来自社区成员、同伴、老师和家长的反馈，评估自己的服务与成长。他们将在四月底完成项目，并向指导老师做正式陈述。

除了对所服务社区带来的直接益处，社区项目也为学生们即将迎来的十年级个人项目以及严谨的大学预科课程做好了准备——所培养的技能将使他们在未来多年受益。
