The Inaugural CUC-NTU Alumni Beijing Forum on Creative Thought and Creativity unfolded on Nov.25,2023 at the Communication University of China International Convention Center. The event consisted of three sessions：morning, afternoon and evening. In the evening session, Chinese and foreign teachers and students carried out a lively and interesting cross-cultural communication around the theme of "Intercultural Competence at Work and Employability."
诺丁汉特伦特大学在京的5名教师30余名国际学生和20多名中国学生参加了晚场论坛。晚场论坛由英国诺丁汉特伦特大学教师Stella Bunnag主持，Stella教授从跨文化交际能力的定义出发，鼓励同学们思考、讨论分享观点。随后，Stella教授详细介绍了如何在日常生活中运用跨文化交际能力，并强调了它在专业领域的关键作用。
Five professors from Nottingham Trent University, more than 30 international students, and more than 20 Chinese students attended the evening session. Prof. Stella Bunnag, a faculty member of Nottingham Trent University, hosted the evening forum. She initiated the discussion by defining intercultural Competence and encouraged participants to share their perspectives. The engaging discourse progressed to practical aspects, detailing how to activate intercultural Competence and underscoring its pivotal role in the professional realm.
接下来的分组互动环节极大地激发了同学们的体验性与参与感。中外学生们被划分为六个小组，先通过自我介绍破冰。然后，大家围绕在工作中培养跨文化能力的重要性以及如何提高这种能力展开了热烈的小组讨论，并提出了一系列解决方案。最后，每个小组派出一名代表进行总结发言，进一步加深了大家对讨论话题的理解。
The event seamlessly integrated interactive group activities, enhancing the overall experience. Attendees, organized into 6 groups, commenced with introductions to foster a sense of friendship. This ice-breaking session set the tone for meaningful discussions. Participants then tackled relevant questions: Why is it important to develop intercultural competence in the workplace? How can we enhance this competence? Each group selected a leader to represent them, and the ensuing presentations were characterized by excellence, showcasing a profound understanding of the topics discussed.
最后，Stella教授分享了对今后开办跨文化交际系列工作坊的初步设想。她呼吁中外学生未来积极参加此类活动，并强调这些活动将极大地促进学生间的跨文化交流与合作。外教的结语点燃了同学们的热情，让大家对学院未来的系列活动满怀期待。
Adding a forward-looking dimension to the event, Professor Stella, the keynote speaker, shared insights into a forthcoming project aligned with the forum's theme. She implored both Chinese and international students to anticipate more such gatherings in the future, emphasizing that these events would contribute significantly to fostering intercultural communication and cooperation among students. This forward-looking perspective added an element of anticipation and enthusiasm to the event's overall atmosphere.
讲座结束后，中外学生在茶歇中再次交流、认识彼此。随后，中外师生共同合影留念，为大家留下美好回忆。
The events gracefully concluded with a tea break, allowing participants to network and reflect on the day's insights. A group photography session encapsulated the collaborative spirit of the event, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
学院明年将继续举办此类活动，为同学们提供更多学习、合作和文化交流的机会。
As a promising note, the organizers announced that the same program would be held next year, promising more opportunities for learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
