NURSERY RHYME INITIATIVE CELEBRATES 18 YEARS OF INSPIRING CREATIVITY, CULTURAL EDUCATION

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- A nursery rhyme creation and promotion activity called "China in Children's Chorus", which was introduced in 2006 in Tongzhou District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, has caused a warm response in the local area.

According to a statement, the activity has also gradually developed into a bright business card for children's aesthetic education nationwide in the following 18 years.

Continuously being held since its inception, the activity attracted a wide participation of more than 7,000 primary and secondary schools inside and outside Jiangsu Province, and a total of 530,000 nursery rhyme works have been collected.

Children not only learn to create nursery rhymes, but also show their observation and creativity through this platform. They record the changes of society and the development of the times from their own perspective.

At present, the "China in Children's Chorus" activity has formed a brand of ideological education and art cultivation for children with Jiangsu as the centre and radiating influence to the whole country.

In the future, the activity will continue to adhere to the original intention to provide more opportunities for children to show themselves and create art, thereby nursery rhymes, a traditional art form, can shine more brilliantly in the new era.
