Online Campaign: Participatory Study

How can art and design help with environmental preservations? What is so specail about the Tibetan perspective of environmentalism? 

I targeted at Chinese youth and collaborated with one of the biggest community-based youth organizations in China named 706 for three seminars. 
Co-Designing with Tibetans

LDONGTSOG needed a tourist brochure that introduces their cultures. After carefully taking notes and participating in the eco-tourism as an assistant, I came up with the idea of this interactive activity book for children. 

I sythesized the interviews with the villagers, and created a moscot based on the endangered village at Kehe.
