协和暑期推荐 | To Simulate Internal Motivation!

17 Jul 2023


Reading opens the door to another world, and watching documentaries is like opening the door to the world behind this world. It is a world that exists in reality but with a completely new vision and perspective.

 

Concordia believes that true education is never confined to books and classrooms but to every real experience of the child. Visionary parents also teach their children about the world and life through documentaries.


From the small world to the vast universe, documentaries can fully stimulate children's curiosity, expand their horizons, deepen their empathy, and awaken their internal drive.

This documentary follows the director's quest for the Hexi Corridor, Suzhou gardens, mountains and seas of majestic passes, and explores Yue Fei's hometown, Qi's former capital, and its customs and traditions.



It is a wide-ranging experiential cultural documentary that allows children to travel all over China without leaving their homes, touching history, sensing culture, and expanding their knowledge.



Under the influence of this highly rated BBC marine documentary: Children will go from embracing nature to loving life, from revering life to cherishing it, and developing empathy.



This highly rated BBC documentary took four years of filming, travelling the world's four oceans, experiencing 125 expeditions, visiting 39 countries, and spending more than 6,000 hours deep underwater. 

 

Whether it's the polar bear living over the Arctic Ocean or the vibrant blue coral atolls, this documentary will refresh our understanding of the oceans and provide us with a lot of interesting first-hand knowledge. 


The film is beautifully shot in 4K and features authentic English narration, which is the unity of knowledge and viewing. It is a feast of dazzling and transparent colours for the eyes and the mind to enjoy.
