Celebrating Netspring 10th year anniversary during the 9th Franco-Chinese Environmental Month with the exhibition “The Blue Planet in the Eyes of Children” Tech4Good – When waste becomes art!

"In this season of gratitude, we sincerely thank all warm-hearted people and partners for their great help to the Netspring children in the past ten years. Looking ahead, we will continue our mission to bridge the digital divide, actively respond to climate change and continue to innovate. I hope that in the next ten years, we can continue to work together to build bridges for more children to connect to the digital world, and promise a better tomorrow for children!" said the representative of Netspring Green IT Programs.

E-waste is without a doubt a major source of environmental pollution. However, through the “Tech4Good and e-waste recycling” initiatives, we can make a difference in digital learning and art. Since 2019, Netspring Green IT Programs have taken part in the “Franco-Chinese Environmental Month”. The event aims at raising public environmental awareness whilst strengthening the cooperation between China and France in the field of environment. The theme of this year is "Blue Planet", focusing on the protection of rivers, wetlands, oceans and coastal areas. 

With this theme of the Blue Planet, we organized a competition in support of underprivileged schools to encourage their students in three categories: painting & drawing, digital painting and coding animation. Our aim was also to develop students’ awareness for the protection of our planet, whilst also stimulating their imagination, creativity, and artistic expression. From the collection of more than 400 artworks, we selected the most outstanding to be exhibited and hope to arouse wide public environmental awareness!

Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the French Embassy in China, the Consulate General of France in Shanghai, Chuang Gallery and our partners Faurecia, Virtuos, Arkema and PVH for their great support to our students’ art exhibition! We cordially invite you to visit the exhibition and start your immersive tour!
