Three Major Future Trends that highlight “we” are

Three Major Future Trends

   that highlight “we” are different

-------------------------------------------------

·21st Century Education·

Online study through electronic products and internet could be a double edged sword.

Artificial intelligence can enhance learning efficiency by 4-6 times. Thus, four years college education could be completed within six months. However, cyber-based learning device can not provide the communications with emotion between people and the human touch, face to face interaction needed in the education of young people. 

Being young, our life should be colorful! 

A New Generation of Young Global Citizens·

A new generation of youngsters who understand and respect for the diverse culture of the world. 

Compared with the older generations, the youngsters of the 21st Century are independent thinkers and multitaskers who are good at communication and cooperation. They tend to communicate with the world via cutting-edge technologies and actively engage in multicultural exchanges.

Bold in ideas, actions, risk taking are the characteristics of the youngsters! 

·The Future Belongs to Those Dreamers Who Do· 

Let your dream be more than mere lip service! How to take actions!

“I regard it as the foremost task of education to ensure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self-denial, and above all, compassion.” 

- Kurt Hahn, Founder of UWC  

Having a dream is just the start; What's more important is how to turn your dream into reality! 

Well, then

Whether there is such an education for youth: 

Connects their emotions and social needs,

And help them understand and care for others from different cultures? 

Most of all, 

not only encourages them to dream,

but also helps them find their own way to turn dreams into reality. 

How do we make this happen? 

How do we support youngsters to design, implement and promote their own projects?  

 「 U-Motion 」 

is the answer.

U-Motion is an international youth leadership and cultural camp organized by IDEAS Camp Education and UWC Changshu China.
