7月22日，2022年宁波市国际人文交流基地展示分享会在宁波诺丁汉大学新国际会议中心举行，包括宁波诺丁汉大学在内共25家首批宁波市国际人文交流基地现场授牌。其中，宁波诺丁汉大学更是被授予浙江省国际人文交流基地称号。会上，还有13家优秀基地代表分享了他们在国际人文交流基地建设的经验与成果。

对如何建设好国际人文交流基地建设，宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院院长Gary Rawnsley教授在会上提出8点建议。他说，文化交流始于积极倾听，理解人们为什么不同意你，然后找到共同点向前迈进。其次要利用好数字平台，广泛收集人们的观点与声音，从而深入了解文化交流的力量与潜力。“只有尊重文化多样性，才能够与世界各地的人互相平等地交流与对话。”

作为中英教育合作的成功案例，宁波诺丁汉大学面向未来的教学体系、赋能未来的第二课堂和助力城市与助力社会可持续高质量发展的理念，吸引着来自世界各地的青年。目前师生来自全球70多个国家和地区，他们在这里走进中国、了解中国文化，成为传播中国文化的使者。

办学十八年来，宁波诺丁汉大学始终坚持“走出去”和“引进来”的国际人文交流模式。“走出去”，引导学生走出校门，走出国门，通过公益志愿服务的形式，讲好中国故事，传播中国好声音；“引进来”，中国学生不出国门就享受到了优质的国际教育，外籍师生则走进中国、了解中国、爱上中国，为本地建设贡献自己的力量。

在“走出去”方面，通过国际化公益志愿服务活动，宁诺架起了一座通往世界各地的桥梁。一届又一届宁诺学子在志愿服务的道路上砥砺前行，足迹遍布俄罗斯、保加利亚、乌克兰、罗马尼亚、土耳其、摩洛哥、马来西亚、印度尼西亚等“一带一路”沿线国家，在当地教中文、讲历史、做中国菜，精心组织了一系列“文化出海”项目。他们在全球舞台上用心讲好中国故事、传播中国文化。宁波诺丁汉大学的毕业生曾晓就曾通过参加肯尼亚海外志愿者项目，为当地孩子建起了一个小型图书馆。许多学子更是通过参加丰富的国际文化交流活动，拓宽了国际视野，锻炼了跨文化沟通交流的能力，赢得了世界一流高校和名企的青睐。

在“引进来”方面，宁诺不仅引进国外优质教育资源，培养国际化人才，同时也通过研习基地、企业走访、公益活动等形式多样的人文交流活动，让国际师生深入了解中国传统文化、触摸中国经济脉动、建立爱的联结。宁诺不仅为外籍师生开设书法、茶道、戏曲等传统文化研习班，还结合“乡村振兴”“美丽中国”“垃圾分类”等重点工作，开展“传球计划”“善行象山”等志愿活动，引导外籍师生深入了解中国国情、为本地建设贡献自己的力量。在严格遵守疫情防控要求下，这两年学校还组织了丰富的人文体验活动，让外籍师生留校不孤单，沉浸式感受中国传统文化。

下一步，宁波诺丁汉大学将在省、市政府的指导和帮助下，通过加强中外籍师生文化交流，加深国际化人才培养理论研究，Z世代（互联网世代）青年培养以及搭建有效外宣平台等方式，充分发挥基地示范引领作用，不断扩大国际人文交流活动的对外辐射面，不断提升基地建设质量，助力全球文化发展与进步。

宁波诺丁汉大学党委副书记董红波博士表示：“我们希望让更多的外籍师生，通过宁波诺丁汉大学这个平台，了解宁波、了解中国，并把他们的所感、所悟、所思传到世界各地。同时，让我们中国的师生也能通过这个平台，了解世界、走向世界，向世界传递中国的好声音。”

2022 Ningbo International Cultural Exchange Base Sharing Forum held at UNNC

On 22nd July, the 2022 Ningbo International Cultural Exchange Base Sharing Forum was held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC). A total of 25 first batch Ningbo International Cultural Exchange Bases, including UNNC, were awarded plaque at the forum, with the UNNC also awarded the title of Zhejiang International Cultural Exchange Base. At the meeting, representatives of 13 outstanding bases shared their experience and achievements in the construction of international cultural exchange bases.

Professor Gary Rawnsley, Dean of UNNC‘s the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, shared some insights on the construction of international cultural exchange bases at the meeting. He pointed out that cultural exchange begins with active listening, understanding why people disagree with you, and then finding a common space to move forward. He also mentioned the importance of digital platforms, from which one can collect people’s opinions and perspectives and thus realizing the power and potential of cultural exchange.

As a role model for Sino-British educational collaboration, UNNC boasts a future-oriented teaching system and upholds the concept of helping society to prosper with high-quality sustainable development. It has attracted staff and students from more than 70 countries and regions around the world. Here they visit China, learn about Chinese culture, and become ambassadors of Chinese culture.

Since its establishment, the university has always adhered to the principles of “going global" and "bringing in”. “Going global” allows domestic students to go abroad and tell their Chinese story to the world, while “bringing in” provides students with high-quality international education and gives international staff and students the opportunities to explore Chinese culture.

In terms of "going global", UNNC has built a bridge connecting China and the world through providing a wide range of international extracurricular activities and establishing international volunteer bases. For example, UNNC has successfully held a number of international exchange activities in various countries and regions including Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Turkey, Morocco, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries along the "Belt and Road". Numerous UNNC students have participated in these cultural exchange volunteering activities overseas, helping to spread traditional Chinese culture all around the world.

With regards to "bringing in", UNNC has not only introduced foreign high-quality educational resources within its international environment, but also enabled international talents in various fields to enter China, understand China, and serve China's social and economic construction. Over the past two years, for instance, UNNC has held various culture exchange activities for international staff and students that have remained in China due to the pandemic.

In the future, UNNC will further improve its quality as an International Cultural Exchange base by enhancing the cultural exchange of its Chinese-international staff and student, deepening theoretical research on the cultivation of international talents,cultivating Generation Z, and establishing effective publicity platforms.

Dr Jenny Dong, Deputy Party Secretary of UNNC, said: “Using UNNC as a powerful platform, we hope to let more international students and staff know about Ningbo and China, and pass on what they feel, think, and understand to the world. Meanwhile, we also hope that with the help of this platform, domestic students and staff can embrace the world and convey the Chinese voice to the world.”
