June 30, 2025

In June 2025, the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, five 11th grade SHSID students participates in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s International Competence Youth Camp, which aims to provide a communication platform for outstanding students nationwide and enhance their international competence through systematic trainings, preparing them for future university studies and career development.


On the morning of June 28th, despite the heat, the enthusiasm of SHSID students remained high. The opening ceremony started amidst stirring music. After Zhao Xin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, delivered a welcoming address, several experts from international organizations were invited to give insightful lectures. This event not only provided students with an in-depth understanding of the core values required by the international organizations but also inspired their shared responsibility as global citizens.



Following the opening ceremony, students participated in the poster exhibition session. SHSID students dedicated themselves to creating posters centered around the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. All the posters showcased diverse perspectives from students across China regarding the SDGs. By learning from each other’s work, students gained valuable insights.


In the afternoon, the camp held a series of career development workshops. Students attended various sessions, such as International Communication, AI Literacy and Application, etc. Through lectures, collaboration, and practices, students enhanced their communication and critical thinking skills, equipping them to adapt quickly and work efficiently in international academies or a working environment.





After the workshops, representatives from several major international organizations delivered their speeches. Seven influential organizations—including the United Nations Development Programme, International Labor Organization, World Economic Forum, and World Wide Fund for Nature—introduced their missions and talent needs in detail. The inspiring speeches sparked aspirations for their future engagement in international careers.




On the morning of June 29, students arrived on time at Shanghai Jiao Tong University for the second day of the camp. They delivered their lectures about SDGs based on a previously submitted PowerPoint in English. This was not only a presentation to the judges but also a platform for the interschool exchange of ideas. By sharing their perspectives and listening to others’ opinions, students expanded their knowledge range and deepened their understanding of global development.




In the afternoon, students visited companies based on their preferences, including Tesla and NIO Automobile. Through close observation of cutting-edge industry technologies and the introduction of management systems, students gained an understanding of the current industries and their future trends.



At the closing ceremony in the evening, the organizers presented awards such as Outstanding Camper, Excellent Poster, Best Poster, and Distinguished Camper to celebrate students’ diligence and active participation over the two days. Through this camp, students developed an initial understanding of what it takes to become internationally competent. Working further in their academic studies, students will continue to cultivate global perspectives and hone personal abilities to make their voices heard on the world stage.
