11 December 2017, Xi’an- in line with the Spirit of Youth themes of Education and Innovation, the British Embassy will bring leading UK expertise in the form of Venture Education to run a three-hour “Enterprise Education” workshop for students at the new campus of the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU).
2017年12月11日，西安-為了契合教育與創新的“靈動青春”主題，英國大使館將攜手問創教育的英國教育專家來到西安，為西北工業大學學生舉辦“創新創業教育”工作坊。
NPU and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in Britain draw on the academic expertise of both institutions and have established ajoint educational institution (JEI) –QMUL Engineering School, NPU. JEI takes advantage of the strengths of two distinct educational cultures – the mathematical and scientific rigor found in China and the emphasis placed on creative problem-solving and transferable skills in the UK. Students graduate with a unique blend of skills, valued in China and around the world.
西北工業大學與英國倫敦瑪麗女王大學充分利用兩校的優質資源，合作成立西北工業大學倫敦瑪麗女王大學工程學院，發揮各自辦學優勢–中國大學在數學和科學嚴謹性上的傳統特色，結合英國大學擅長創造性解決問題以及軟技能培養。畢業于該院的學生能夠博采眾長，在中國和世界范圍的工作環境中表現出色。
As the world changes, today’s graduates must use the knowledge they’ve learned to find innovative solutions to modern challenges. Enterprise education has spread across every university in the UK and teaches students the idea of having an enterprising mind-set they can apply to undertake entrepreneurial activities (as varied as fundraising for charity, supporting the local community or starting a small business) to encourage and nurture world changing innovation.
伴隨著世界的瞬息萬變，當今的畢業生必須學會運用他們所掌握的知識來尋找創新的解決方案應對現代的挑戰。創新創業教育已經在英國大學被廣泛推崇，教授學生培養創新創業型思維，并協助學生們申請開展豐富多樣的創業活動（從募集慈善籌款、為當地社區提供服務，到創辦一個小企業進行自主創業），旨在鼓勵和培育改變世界的創新力量。
“Spirit of Youth – Make Ideas Happen” will see top enterprise educators from the UK and China run an interactive workshop that will encourage the students not just to dream, but to act, not only to follow, but also lead; in short, they will “make ideas happen.” The workshop will include numerous group activities; some surprise guests, an extreme challenge and prizes to be won for the most enterprising teams!
在“靈動青春-讓創意想法付諸行動力”活動中，來自中英兩國的創新創業教育專家將會舉辦一個互動工作坊，鼓勵學生敢于夢想，付諸實踐，能夠跟隨思潮，也能引領思潮。 讓創新思想付諸行動力！工作坊的內容設計精彩紛呈;屆時不僅會有驚喜的嘉賓， 一個極限挑戰，還有大獎頒發給獲勝團隊。
“Enterprise education is the future”, says Charlotte Smith from Venture Education, “being able to make ideas happen makes people more fulfilled not only professionally but also in their personal lives. Having a positive mind-set, being empathetic and having a positive impact is good for individuals and the world around them.”
“創新創業教育是未來教育的發展方向”，問創教育的Charlotte Smith表示：能夠把想法付諸于行動，不僅使他們在事業上而且在個人生活領域也能獲得更多的成就感。構筑積極的思維，保持同理心并做出積極的影響，這不僅于個人，也是對周圍世界的貢獻。
