研学WCCO｜将运河“翻译”给世界听 河海大学外国语学院师生走进WCCO秘书处

大运河传媒讯（徐蓉 李延晨） 当外国语学院的课堂从教室搬到国际组织，大学生们对大运河文化会有怎样的全新认知？10月31日，河海大学外国语学院的百余名师生走进世界运河历史文化城市合作组织（WCCO）秘书处，在真实的国际组织场景与运河文化现场，寻找“向世界开口”的坐标。Grand Canal Media News (Xu Rong, Li Yanchen) When the classes at the School of Foreign Languages are moved from classrooms to international organizations, what new insights will students have regarding the culture of the Grand Canal? On October 31st, over a hundred teachers and students from the School of Foreign Languages at Hohai University visited the secretariat of the World Historic and Cultural Canal Cities Cooperation Organization (WCCO). In this real international organization setting and in the context of canal culture, they sought the “coordinates” through which they can “open their mouths to the world”.

“国际传播的活力，在于依托青年力量的‘创新表达’。”WCCO副秘书长杨为民表示，国际传播需要青年一代用新视角、新语态去讲述运河故事。她期待未来能与河海大学深度合作，并向在座学生发出邀请：WCCO愿意为大家提供志愿岗位和实训平台，让大家在真实的国际组织场景中，把专业所学转化为真实的国际传播作品。“The vitality of international communication lies in ‘innovative expressions’ that are driven by young people,” said Yang Weimin, Deputy Secretary-General of WCCO. International communication requires the younger generation to tell the stories related to the canal from new perspectives and in new ways. She hopes to collaborate closely with Hohai University in the future, and invites the students present here: WCCO is willing to provide volunteer positions and training opportunities, so that they can apply their professional knowledge to create real international communication works within the context of actual international organizations.

河海大学外国语学院党委副书记王璐介绍，河海大学因水而生、缘水而为、顺水而长，外国语学院秉承百年水文化积淀，开设英语（产教融合卓越班），设立“全球胜任力与数字生态文明建设”微专业，与WCCO携手向世界讲好中国水故事、运河故事。“希望同学们能做中华水文化的传承者，静下心拼读运河历史，感受水文化里的家国情怀；做中国水故事的传播者，用好外语专业优势，以青年视角创新传播形式；做中外水文明的沟通者，以平等包容的跨文化视角搭建文明对话的纽带。”她说。Wang Lu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Foreign Languages at Hohai University, said that Hohai University was founded and developed due to water; it has grown along with the flow of water. The School of Foreign Languages, drawing on the century-old water culture heritage, offers an English (Industry-Education Integration Excellence Class) program and a minor in “Global Competence and Digital Civilization Construction”. In collaboration with WCCO, they aim to tell China’s water stories and canal stories to the world. “We hope that students will be inheritors of Chinese water culture, spend time studying the history of the canals and experiencing the sense of national identity embedded in water culture; become disseminators of Chinese water stories, utilize their language skills to innovate ways of communication from a young perspective; and act as intermediaries between Chinese and foreign water cultures, building bridges for cultural dialogue through an inclusive cross-cultural approach,” she said.

活动在中国大运河申遗展示馆拉开帷幕。河海大学外国语学院2026级英语（产教融合班）的学生们围绕大运河申遗历程、大运河文化带及国家文化公园建设、WCCO向世界传播中国运河故事等主题展开学习。从扬州牵头沿线城市推动中国大运河申遗的历史进程，到沿线各地保护利用运河文化的最新成果，再到WCCO在开展运河文化国际交流、建设文化旅游品牌、促进国内外运河城市对外交往等方面的工作成效，运河奔流出海、文化走向世界的脉络在展线中逐渐清晰。The event began at the Exhibition Hall for the World Heritage Application of the Grand Canal in China. Students from the English (Industry-Education Integration Class) program of the School of Foreign Languages at Hohai University, enrolled in 2026, studied topics such as the process of the Grand Canal’s application for world heritage status, the Grand Canal Cultural Belt and the construction of national cultural parks, and WCCO’s efforts in spreading Chinese canal stories to the world. From Yangzhou leading cities along the canal in promoting the Grand Canal’s application for world heritage status, to the latest achievements in protecting and utilizing canal culture across various regions, and to WCCO’s work in international exchanges related to canal culture, building cultural tourism brands, and facilitating exchanges between canal cities both domestically and internationally – the timeline of how the canal has spread its influence overseas and how culture has reached the world is becoming clearer throughout the exhibition.

在“组织探秘”环节，师生们还观看了WCCO宣传视频，学习WCCO以运河为媒、推动世界运河城市交流交往的探索实践。During the “Exploring Organizations” segment, teachers and students also watched a promotional video produced by WCCO, and learned about WCCO’s efforts to promote exchanges between world canal cities through the use of canals as a medium.

“通过这次参观，我认识到世界运河城市之间的交流不是简单见个面、拍个照，而是相互借鉴经验，将不同国家的特色运河文化融合起来。”学生占鑫淼对大运河传媒记者说，作为外国语学院的学生，他希望能以所学到的专业知识，搭建起一座中外交流的桥梁，把中国大运河的故事“翻译”给更多世界运河城市听。“Through this visit, I realized that the exchange between world canal cities isn’t just about meeting face to face or taking photos. It involves learning from each other and integrating the unique canal cultures of different countries together.” Student Zhan Xinmiao said to reporters from the Grand Canal Media. As a student at the School of Foreign Languages, he hopes to use the professional knowledge he has acquired to build a bridge for communication between China and other countries, and to “translate” the stories of the Chinese Grand Canal so that more cities around the world can hear them.
