在相对放松的空间与时间里与同龄人建立关系。
For lunch, students headed to Humdinger, where they had the chance to make their own pizzas—a fun, interactive activity:
added a personal touch to their meal;
Drinks, French fries, and snacks were served, giving them time to relax and bond with peers.

相对放松的时间过后，学生们的焦点转向了陶瓷。拾翠云南民艺园的导览员详细介绍了“瓦猫”——具有民族文化意义的云南传统粘土工艺品，它象征着善良。学生们仔细地了解着关于“瓦猫”的信息，从它的历史、意义到它在具体制作过程中所使用的自然材料。在技艺精湛的工匠的指导下，Ta们设计并制作了属于自己的“瓦猫”，并亲自将其送入窑中烧制。
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to ceramics. Students were introduced to the Wamao, a traditional Yunnan clay token with cultural significance, often used in rituals and as symbols of goodwill. They learned about its history, meaning, and the natural materials used in its creation. Under the guidance of skilled artisans, students designed and crafted their own W, shaping the clay and preparing them for kiln firing.
