BEIJING, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On October 31, BOE held a closing ceremony of the “Light the Way Forward” educational charity initiative and the “100 Traditional Culture Lectures” program at the Palace Museum in Beijing. The display giant has carried out the “Light the Way Forward” initiative for a decade, and built 156 smart classrooms across 10 provincial-level regions in the country, benefiting over 70,000 teachers and students. As part of the initiative, the “100 Traditional Culture Lectures” program was jointly launched by BOE and the Palace Museum in 2023, aiming to leverage BOE’s smart education solutions and digital technology to bring fine traditional Chinese culture into classrooms in remote areas. Over the course of one and a half years, the program has reached nearly 40 schools across multiple regions, benefiting more than 20,000 students. It has continuously promoted the sustainable, integrated development of technology, education, and culture, paving new paths for preserving and passing on cultural heritage.

“The ‘Light the Way Forward’ initiative has evolved into an open, diverse, and sustainable charity platform that not only provides hardware support but also empowers with content. It exemplifies BOE’s commitment to fulfilling corporate social responsibility jointly with our partners. We always believe that technology is not a cold tool but is a powerful force that provides warmth,” said a spokesperson of BOE.

BOE, a leader in digital culture innovation, is dedicated to advancing the integration of culture and technology through responsible practices. In recent years, BOE has cooperated with multiple cultural institutions in this regard, including the Palace Museum. This year, BOE assisted the Palace Museum with its centennial exhibition by jointly creating the glasses-free 3D digital exhibition “Meet the Colors of the Palace Museum” and the digital exhibition hall of the Qianlong Garden, highlighting the role of technology as a bridge that conveys beauty and connects diverse cultures. Going forward, BOE will uphold the “Open Next Earth” sustainable development concept and continue empowering education through technology and culture to light the way for even more children.

Air District Announces Three Part Plan Towards Mitigation

DIAMOND BAR, Calif., Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD), in partnership with Riverside County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, will host a Dust Summit to bring together air quality experts, local officials, community leaders, academia and residents for a focused discussion on dust pollution in the Coachella Valley.

The Coachella Valley has long faced challenges with dust pollution (PM10), often generated and carried by high winds across the desert. Dust pollution impacts air quality and also poses risks to public health and affects the quality of life for local communities. The Summit will hear testimonials from residents and local businesses, explore the sources and health impacts of dust, highlight current scientific studies, discuss current mitigation activities, explore future mitigation strategies, and provide opportunities for community input. Panel discussions, presentations and Q&A sessions will feature leading voices on air quality research and local dust management.

Additionally, the South Coast AQMD Governing Board approved a three-part plan to help address dust issues in Coachella Valley.

1. Scientific Research: Fund a team of dust researchers led by faculty at UC Riverside and UC San Diego/Scripps Institution of Oceanography to conduct field dust emission studies, satellite data analysis, and computer modeling to identify and prioritize the key dust sources throughout the entire Coachella Valley.
2. Targeted Strategies: With interim and final results from the study, dust control measures will be identified and evaluated to determine the most cost-effective mitigation strategies tailored to specific areas and dust types.
3. Implementation: Finally, South Coast AQMD will fund mitigation projects in key emissive areas using the identified dust control measures with a request for proposals.

The plan was approved by the South Coast AQMD Governing board in October. The first part of the plan is expected to begin in late 2025. The second two parts of the Plan will follow after completion of the first part.

Dust Summit Information:
The conference will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. The public can attend in person or via Zoom. For additional details about the Dust Summit, including agenda and updates, visit:
