Public Diplomacy Capability Development and Practice with UN

Significance of the project:

Enhancing the development system of "Jiao Tong University students" on multilateral diplomatic platforms:

Through the design and implementation of challenging projects, the project aims to enhance the participants' precise cross-cultural communication abilities. As a world-class university, Shanghai Jiao Tong University should position its talent development on high-level international multilateral stages. The design and implementation of challenging projects on platforms such as the United Nations and UNESCO will provide participants with valuable experience and unique resources. Seizing this opportunity, the project will further support the continuous efforts of our university in international organizations like the United Nations and comprehensively cultivate participants' cross-cultural communication abilities through innovative work conducted during the "challenge" process.

Strengthening the national responsibilities of Jiao Tong University students in building a "community with a shared future for mankind":

The "Jiao Tong University students" United Nations public diplomacy capability development and practice challenge project, on one hand, deepens the national consciousness of "Jiao Tong University students" as a big family through the bond of Chinese calligraphy, which portrays the beauty of Chinese characters with elegant strokes. On the other hand, it establishes the concept of mutual beauty and shared benefits in cross-cultural communication on multilateral diplomatic platforms. Furthermore, it introduces Chinese governance solutions in areas such as climate change, environmental protection, and healthcare, fostering the interdisciplinary innovation capabilities of "Jiao Tong University students." The project design reflects the sense of responsibility and national commitment of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a world-class university in cultivating international talents and building a "community with a shared future for mankind."

Project objectives:

The objective of this project is to integrate resources from high-level diplomatic platforms such as the United Nations and UNESCO to cultivate participants' cross-cultural communication abilities. In the context of cultivating international talents, facing "global challenges," the project strives for innovation and leverages the unique advantages of the new humanities disciplines at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It aims to contribute to the construction of the core concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" in talent development in the new era of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
