欢迎来到“龙学生大使”中美文化交流站!全球经济和世界一体化让中国有了翻天覆地的变化。然而西部地区因远离发达东部,深居内陆而无法获得与东部沿海公平的机会。“龙学生大使”乐于为西部学子创造去美国进行短期文化交流的机会(费用全免),留美学习机会(帮助申请绿卡)甚至就业机会(提供国外就业岗位)。注册后便可共享国际交友资源。本网站正在扩建中,希望您注册后能多介绍朋友进来。网站规模越大,影响力越大,筹集交流资金的机会就越多,我们为大家提供的交流活动也会越多。希望大家共同努力,将本网站变成沟通中国西部与美国文化教育的桥梁。

Community Calling....

Talk What You Like Episode - Our inaugural interview with Jay and Hector: Talk What You Like Episode - An interview with Huke: Talk What You Like Episode - An Interview With Rosie: Talk What You Like Episode - An Interview with Kristen Mercure:
 


In ancient folklore going back to the original reports of Marco Polo in his travels across Asia to the Middle Kingdom of Kublai Khan, those who crossed the great Gobi Desert often found themselves spellbound by the "singing sands," whose strange melodies led many a wayfarer to experience the ecstasy of a place so mysterious and distant from the rest of the known world, that many who heard these stories did not believe that such fantastic places even existed. Come with us today, and you will see a China that is rarely seen by westerners, and even more rarely appreciated for its place in the past and future of China today. The Silk Road and northwest China, with its mix of cultures and peoples, will come alive as never before through the educational programs and cultural exchanges offered by New School Student Ambassadors, Inc.

In the footsteps of Marco Polo

Denis Belliveau and Francis O’Donnell took a wild idea – retrace Marco Polo’s entire 25,000-mile, land-and-sea route from Venice to China and back – and spent two incredible years of their lives making their dream a reality. They documented their incredible journey, just as many of our Student Ambassadors have documented their own experiences in China and in participatory learning projects. Watch the full program by clicking on the picture below. It is a wonderfully filmed adventure and shows what courageous and committed people can do to learn, spread goodwill, and take on super-human challenges.

WATCH A SAMPLE DOCUMENTARY VIDEO CLIP!

Want to know what qualifies as a good documentary video, worthy of submitting to a contest like the 9th Media that Matters Film Festival? Check out this edited clip from YouTube that demonstrates how short documentary videos can help bridge cultural understandings and build greater global awareness on many levels.


Here's a short video of a Chinese rock group called 21Grams. While there's no "story" or narrative to this video other than their music, there is an expression of culture. See if you can find anything in this video clip that helps you to understand Chinese youth at the dawn of the 21st century.
