不冒險，就是人生最大的風險｜Lessons I learned from junior sailors | 黃建榮 Chien Jung Huang | TEDxTaipei

岳明國小校長黃建榮不在岸上教海洋教育，而是帶領孩子親自站上帆船，成為小小帆船手乘風破浪。今年，黃建榮更帶領這群小學生橫渡黑潮，前往石垣島。他始終相信人類是天生的冒險家，但冒險精神絕非將自己陷入危險之中，而是做好準備，勇敢面對挑戰。

若將生命比擬為一艘船，該永遠繫在港口，還是勇敢出海？「生命之船若沒有感受過驚滔駭浪的刺激，也不會懂風平浪靜的幸福，如此停在港口的船，只會變成一堆廢鐵。人生也是如此。」

As an Yilan native who oversees a small sea-side school, Principal Huang knew that marine education is an important topic not to be dismissed from his student's curriculum. Opting for hands-on learning, he first introduced dinghy sailing as an after-school club activity. Here he shares what the sea has taught him and these young sailors as they sailed off to an island near Okinawa, Japan. 教育工作者/國小校長 Educator, School Principal

2007年黃建榮來到蘇澳鎮岳明國小擔任校長。當時這所的臨海小校因面對少子女化的浪潮，正面臨裁併校的危機。校長因堅信從在地找優勢，成功地讓這所6班的小校轉型，學生人數倍增；2016年更成為全國第一所從公立學校轉型為公辦民營的實驗小學。

Chien Jung Huang is an educator who has turned a tiny, sea-side school with a shrinking student body into Taiwan's first public-turned-charter school with a pedagogy focus on environmental education. He encourages both students and teachers to take advantage of learning beyond the classroom, and played an instrumental role in launching the first elementary school sailing club in Taiwan.

Huang is currently the principal of Yilan County's Yueming Elementary School. The school's student enrollment has doubled since his tenure. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
