01、About Stanford e-China

关于斯坦福e-China

Founded in 1976, the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) serves as a bridge between Stanford University and K-12 schools and colleges around the world by leveraging Stanford scholarship to global education in three areas: multidisciplinary curriculum development, teacher professional development, and online learning for students. 

斯坦福国际和跨文化教育计划（SPICE）成立于1976年，是一座搭建斯坦福大学与世界各地K-12学校和学院之间的桥梁，通过斯坦福大学的教育和研究资源在三个领域推进全球教育，这三个领域包括：跨学科课程设计、教师专业发展培训和学生在线学习，以此加深本地与国际学生的文化认知。

It is an educational program within Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). FSI is committed to exploring issues and policies that cross international borders and affect life around the world. Through its interdisciplinary colleges and 12 research centers and programs, FSI has enhanced knowledge and understanding of governance, health policy, immigration, development, security, and regional dynamics in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and has enabled Stanford University to participate in solving some of the world’s most pressing issues.

斯坦福国际和跨文化教育项目(SPICE)隶属于斯坦福大学弗里曼·斯波格利国际研究学院(FSI)。FSI致力于探索跨越国际边界并影响世界各地生活的问题和政策等。通过其跨学科的学院及12个中心和研究计划，该研究院增进了对治理、卫生政策、移民、发展、安全以及亚洲、欧洲和拉丁美洲等地区动态的知识和理解，促使斯坦福大学参与解决一些世界上最紧迫的问题。

Stanford e-China is an exemplary manifestation of SPICE’s mission. Launched in 2018, Stanford e-China is committed to connecting some of the most talented and motivated young students in China and the United States to engage in conversations about global challenges and opportunities facing humanity today and interact with renowned scholars at Stanford University. 

斯坦福e-China是SPICE使命的杰出范例。于2018年开启后，斯坦福e-China将中美两国最优秀及最有潜力的年轻学生联结起来，在斯坦福大学各领域著名学者的指导下，共同讨论当今全球所面临的挑战与机遇。

02、About Stanford e-China  Wit and Pep Initiative (SWAPI)

关于斯坦福WAPI

Inspired by growing interest in Stanford e-China and SPICE’s mission to promote Stanford scholarship in cross-cultural education, we established Stanford e-China Wit and Pep Initiative (SWAPI). SWAPI aims to encourage young students in China to share ideas and express themselves effectively through public speaking and writing about global challenges and opportunities that demand international collaboration, and to foster cross-cultural understanding.

鉴于斯坦福e-China不断增长的申请数量，以及达成SPICE在跨文化教育中推广斯坦福教育的使命，我们创立了斯坦福WAPI。SWAPI旨在吸引更多中国年轻学生以公开演讲和写作的方式来有效地展现自己的观点，并且推进跨文化的理解与交流，尤其是需要国际合作应对的全球挑战和机遇相关话题。
