Sustainability
Tianqi consistently focuses on the field of “education”, conducting the “Lithium Classroom” thematic volunteer service annually. Based on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) framework, it has developed the “Lithium Classroom” educational brand for volunteer services. This program is specifically designed for adolescents and encompasses knowledge related to the presence of lithium in nature, its development and utilization, recycling, and environmental protection, aiming to expand scientific popularization content in the lithium industry and promote comprehensive quality education. Tianqi Public Welfare adheres to the philosophy of “teaching with fun and learning with fun”, continuously iterating
and upgrading the “Lithium Classroom” to combine lithium expertise with gaming, resulting in a curriculum toolkit with independent intellectual property rights.
By recruiting a project team in combination with “internal professional volunteers + external program development experts”, the Tianqi volunteer team has built a pool of professional volunteer leaders well-versed in the complete process of program “development, training, and instruction”. From 2019 to 2023, over 30 volunteers participated in the development process, with the curriculum evolving from version 1.0 to 4.0. The content now covers the physical forms of lithium, its chemical properties, practical applications (recycling), and its entire lifecycle (extraction and environmental protection). Additionally, due to the relentless efforts of the volunteers, since 2019, more than 80 volunteers have consistently engaged with primary school students in Maoxian County, Aba Prefecture, bringing the vibrant “Lithium Classroom” to over 1,000 students in total.
In 2023, the “Lithium Classroom” officially completed its 4.0 version iteration, with a primary focus on green mining practices and biodiversity conservation. The program incorporates a board game format aligned with the “Green Jungle
Law” to educate local youth on concepts such as “green mining”, “sustainable development”, and “biodiversity protection”. After the program, volunteers facilitate an engaging experience for children through the “Green Jungle Law”,
enriching their understanding of “lithium” while also enhancing skills in teamwork, communication, and leadership, receiving unanimous praise from both students and teachers.
