Our journey started in Cambridge as international students ourselves.
From books to bikes, humour to humility, latte to laughter...
Some things remained familiar. But plenty were different - dinner in gowns, open debates, separate water taps...
Experiencing and explaining cultural differences to new-found friends and professors was the (unknowingly) first step in connecting two cultures.
We then ventured into financial services and learnt more amazing things:
Perspective differences would spark many brilliant new ideas;
Time differences could seemingly delay a response; and,
Cultural differences should be celebrated -
for the creativity inspired, the knowledge imparted, and
the stereotypes reversed.
So we founded Mind The Gap International, an education consultancy that focuses on helping education providers in China & UK
to develop internationally.
剑桥的留学生活,让我们第一次直观感受到中英学习和生活的不同。
比如:学士服穿得最多的场合是学院的晚宴;小班课上的学术讨论激烈地像是辩论决赛;而冷热单开的水龙头让人洗起手来都不知所措 ……
但度过了最初的“冲击”,就能慢慢发现不少相似之处 --
聪明欢脱的小伙伴,川流不息的自行车,通宵达旦的图书馆 ……
我们不断地接触新的事物,融入新的环境,也在不断为身边人介绍文化差异的同时、加深了自己对中英文化的了解。
这段经历,铺垫了我们促进中英教育交流的决定。
而全球百强企业和政府机构的工作经历,
推动了我们促成中英教育交流的决心。
12年里,我们不断见证着“不同”的力量:
观点上的不同 可以激发出让人耳目一新的想法,背景上的不同 可能带来恰如其分的解决方案,时区上的不同 掐指一算还能“拉长”24小时 ……
文化上的差异,传达出了新的信息,拉近了人与人的距离,
灌输了新的观念,也改变了固有印象。
因此,我们成立了我们的教育咨询公司
