2023 Shanghai Summer School - Diplomats' Program
2023年上海暑期学校 - 外交官项目

The “Shanghai Summer School—The Diplomats' Program” has been successfully held for 12 years since 2011. This program is jointly sponsored by Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, Foreign Affairs Office of Shanghai Municipal Government, and organized by East China Normal University. So far nearly 600 officials from over 60 countries’ consulates in Shanghai have participated in this program. It has won a great fame among the consulate cohort. In 2023, we have altogether 30 officials from 21 countries' consulates in Shanghai to participate the program. This year's program integrated rich "Shanghai-style elements", and launched a series of brand-new activities, such as expert lectures on Shanghai's historical changes, China's green development concepts, and experiencing Intangible Cultural Heritage in summer customs, field trip to Chongming Island. The diplomats also witnessed the exciting moment when our school's international student team won first place in the 13th Shanghai Universities International Students Dragon Boat Race, winning for the fifth time. While learning Chinese, diplomats further understood China's history, customs, and contemporary social development. The Diplomat Program is a distinguished and influential project within the Shanghai Summer School. It provides a high-quality platform for language learning and cultural exchange for diplomats from various consulates in Shanghai. It plays a significant role in promoting friendly exchanges between Chinese and foreign people. Let's meet again next year!

1	HERRERA	It is a great honor for me to speak before you this morning and share my experiences studying basic Chinese here at East China Normal University, ECNU. But before I go any further, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to East China Normal University for the opportunity to take basic Mandarin classes at your green and welcoming campus. ECNU’s Diplomats’ Mandarin language program provides the right balance of classroom learning and extracurricular activities that enable non-Chinese speakers like myself to develop basic Chinese language skills, to be built upon through practice, while also offering out of classroom activities that broaden understanding and deepen appreciation of Chinese culture, history and people.The Chinese language skills that me and my Philippine Consulate General colleagues have acquired under your program has had a very positive impact on our daily life living in Shanghai and also in the conduct of our work at the office, especially when it comes to interviewing Chinese visa applicants, as can be attested to by my colleagues from the Philippine Consulate General. I will truly miss attending the classes here, especially the Saturday class. It is such a rejuvenating experience to once again be on campus among students and attend classes here as I am reminded of my university days long ago and I am able to relive many of the emotions I experienced when I was once a young person attending university. There is only one thing I wish could have been different. I wish that my office were not so busy, making attending the Wednesday evening classes for me almost impossible, thus I missed out on several lessons which gladly I am able to review through the regular sending of the lessons to our WeChat group chat by Laoshi. I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to Laoshi Sonny for taking care of the level 1 class. I can imagine that it is not an easy job giving Chinese lessons from 6pm-9pm Wednesdays and to give up a substantial portion of your weekend during the Saturday classes. I wish you all the best in your future advanced studies at university and in your career. Likewise, I wish my fellow classmates much success and enriching experiences during their time here in Shanghai. Maybe our paths will cross again one day. But until that day, hou hui you qi!
2	ROZHKOV	非常感谢上海市教委、上海市外办和华东师范大学为我们组织了这次培训，给了我们一个学习中文、了解上海历史、传统和特色的非常好的机会。谢谢你们给了我们这个机会让我们再次拥有了当学生的感觉。在这里，我们认识了新的朋友，相处得很愉快。我要特别感谢项目的组织者和老师们，为我们设计了丰富多样的内容，课程非常有趣、翔实。我觉得我们的培训形式是非常独特的而有效的——我们既学习了汉语知识，又在语言实践方面得到了很好的训练——这两者有机地相互补充。所有这一切都证明了课程组织者和实施者所具有的高度专业精神我相信我们在这里学到的一切会在我们将来的工作和生活中发挥很大的作用。
3	SURASHETE	这次中文课对外国驻华外交官跨越语言障碍非常有用。此外，这是增进中外关系与合作的良好举措。其次，我们要特别感谢美丽善良的中文老师LISA。她教了我们很多中文有用的语法、课程和词汇。此外，她还和我们分享中国文化，教我们唱中文歌曲。另外，我想和大家分享一下我在华东师范大学两个多月的经历。大学环境优美，绿意盎然，学习、休闲、运动等设施齐全。有一次，我在华东师范大学的食堂吃午餐和晚餐。衷心希望上海市教委、上海市外办、华东师范大学及相关部门进一步支持外国驻华领事机构，进一步推动合作。
