On July 4th, the 2023 Yangtze River Delta Youth and Children's Coastal Defense Summer Camp, which lasted for 4 days, opened in Jinshan District, Shanghai. More than 200 teenagers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and other Yangtze River Delta regions met in the beautiful Shanghai Bay Area to embark on a "red" and "blue" journey.
Jinshan District, as the southwest gateway of Shanghai, has been an important military base for resisting foreign enemies since ancient times, shouldering the important task of building and consolidating coastal defense in Shanghai. Jinshan not only has characteristic marine cultural resources such as Jinshan City Beach and Jinshanzui Fishing Village, but also rich coastal defense education resources such as Jinshanwei Anti Japanese War Site Memorial Park and Women's Militia outpost. At the same time, it also has rich characteristic marine cultural resources, such as Jinshanzui Fishing Village, the last living fishing village in Shanghai, Jinshanzui Fishing Village, the last pure land in Shanghai - Jinshan Three Islands, and the coastline with the most Shanghai style - Urban Beach.
Based on these abundant resources, the "Shanghai Youth Coastal Defense Summer Camp" has been successfully held in Jinshan District for nine consecutive years since 2015, with a total of more than 7000 young people participating.
It is reported that more than 200 children aged 10-14 participated in this summer camp, including young people recruited throughout the city through "Moe Shanghai", outstanding students recommended by Jinshan District, and children from special families. At the same time, this year, we also specially invited young people and children from Wuxi, Jiangsu, Ningbo, Pinghu, Zhejiang, Hefei, Anhui and other Yangtze River Delta regions to participate.
The organizer aims to create a linkage mechanism for youth coastal defense theme education in the Yangtze River Delta region through a variety of summer camp activities, to encourage young people to further care about the ocean, understand the ocean, understand coastal defense, participate in coastal defense, and enhance their patriotism.
During the summer camp, campers from the Yangtze River Delta region will immerse themselves in a four-day military experience. Through military training, lectures on coastal defense knowledge, watching world naval war movies, visiting coastal defense education bases, and tracing red memories, they will increase their emotional understanding of coastal defense. At the same time, by watching military documentaries, we educate on revolutionary traditions, learn from the indomitable spirit of our predecessors, strengthen our ideals and beliefs, feel the responsibility and mission we bear, and together build the soul of coastal defense.
In order to allow the small camp members to experience the development of the motherland firsthand, this summer camp has also added a red themed directional activity. The small camp members experience the difficulties brought by the development of the motherland through activities such as a bag of dry food, bravely crossing the maze, skillfully crossing the Jinsha River, military and civilian fish and water situation, recalling the stories of old party members, the founding ceremony, and the blueprint for the founding of the country.
It is reported that in recent years, the Jinshan District Civilization Office, District Education Bureau, District Sports Bureau and other units have continuously extended and expanded their cooperation scope with the Municipal Youth Activity Center around the coastal defense summer camp activities. For example, they have launched the compilation of the "Shanghai Youth Coastal Defense Knowledge Introduction Guide", which includes multi-level and multi angle content such as basic coastal defense knowledge Q&A, collection of coastal defense search routes, promotion of coastal defense film and television works, and exhibition of youth coastal defense painting art works. At the same time, the Jinshan District Civilization Office, Jinshan District Sports Bureau, and Shanghai Youth Activity Center have jointly signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement for National Youth Sports Events, forming strategic partners in youth sports events, activities, courses, and related fields. Through holding national sports events, we will carry out activities such as the Youth Traditional Sports Summit Forum, Sports Achievement Exhibition, Youth Sports Carnival, Sports Competition Exhibition, and the introduction of extracurricular youth sports projects into campus, making beneficial attempts to cooperate with multiple parties and introduce high-quality projects.
