The 6th Student Leadership Conference in Review 第六届学生领导力峰会精彩回顾
滑动查看中文
At Dulwich, we nurture our students to become leaders who can inspire, lead, and make a positive difference in the world. And, in today’s ever-changing world, it is imperative that our student leaders are equipped with a skillset that enables them to be flexible, adaptable, and unite the people around them.
Founded by an alumnus from Dulwich College Beijing, the annual Student Leadership Conference is held in January and has been one of our flagship Worldwise Events for years. Students from across the Dulwich College International family of schools and the founding school of Dulwich College in London come together for a unique 3-day event, engaging in workshops, keynotes, and seminars to enhance their capacity as leaders who can make a positive difference in the world.
The leadership work then continues throughout the rest of the academic year with monthly sessions and workshops, enabling students to further embed what they have learned into practice.
The conference’s scale and influence have grown massively since its inception and has successfully adjusted to the online world for the last two years – though we hope to start hosting in-person events soon!
The most recent Student Leadership Conference, held in January 2022, marked its sixth year. Held online, the conference was joined by over 40 senior school student leaders from across 12 schools and colleges, including Dulwich College in London, our Dehong sister schools, and Green School Bali, under the theme Time to Lead. The format has changed to an intense and immersive two-day online conference co-facilitated by Dulwich teachers; d’Arcy Lunn, the Group Head of Sustainability and Global Citizenship from EiM; and JUMP! Foundation, a leading educational organisation that delivers innovative learning experiences across the globe.
On three later occasions throughout the academic year, our student leaders built their community, shared ideas, and created change in their individual schools and collectively. Teachers supporting the students in their leadership journey have also collaborated to develop relevant frameworks making the leadership programme even more impactful.
What stood out to you about this event?
The similarities between the problems faced between student leaders of different schools and the unique differences that each group possessed when it came around to resolving those issues. It was great to benefit from the myriad of creativity within the group.
The Student Leadership Conference and follow-up sessions provide our students an invaluable opportunity to engage with peers across different countries, environments, and cultural contexts. They create meaningful, collaborative, and impact-driven connections to learn and share ideas and actions for positive change in their school and community. This programme is not only a highlight for those students at that time, but for them to carry these skills and connections with them into the future and benefit their schools in their term as senior student leaders and beyond.
What stood out to you about this event?
Getting to talk to other leaders from other schools and hearing different opinions (especially in breakout rooms) and peer-to-peer conversations.
Each year a lot of attention is paid to intention, to ensure our students are engaging in the most relevant and meaningful topics while also upskilling their global understanding and how they can make an impact locally and globally. We aim to define leadership in its broader sense of lifelong active citizenship and community participation.
It is a joy and privilege to watch the next generation step out onto the leadership stage, and we are eager for the next Student Leadership Conference in January 2023!

在德威,我们愿景是培养学生成长为能够对世界产生积极影响的领袖。其中,一年一度的学生领导力峰会已经成为智胜全球系列活动的一个亮点。每一年,德威大家庭的学生代表齐聚一堂,通过参加研讨会、主题演讲和论坛等一系列活动,相互交流、提升多面能力,获得动力和启发,以便能够在将来对世界产生积极改变。过去两年来,学生领导力峰会成功地适应了线上举办的新形式,峰会的规模和影响力都在继续扩大。
为了帮助学生领袖发掘自身潜力,更好地展现领导能力,去年的峰会以 Time to Lead 为主题。在新学年开始之际,我们希望与大家一起回顾本届峰会的精彩与收获,分享感悟、共同成长,也为筹备新一届的学生领导力峰会启发灵感。
去年的学生领导力峰会我们仍采用线上会议的形式,汇聚了各个学校的40多名学生领袖。这场为期两天的密集沉浸式线上研讨会由学校老师、集团可持续发展与全球公民意识部门总监 d’Arcy Lunn 和全球领先的创新教育机构 JUMP! 基金会共同主持。
研讨会结束之后,学生领袖们回到学校,在接下来的几个月的时间里创建社群、分享观点、学以致用,为所在的学校和整个德威社区都带来了积极的改变。老师们也加入其中,支持学生们的积极行动,共同搭建学生领导力框架,让所有学生在学年始终都能有机会学习并践行领导力。
这次宝贵的机会也让每一位参与其中的同学留下了难忘的印象:
我看到来自不同的学校的学生领袖们都面临一些共性的问题,但在解决这些问题的时候,每个小组都展现出与众不同的一面。大家丰富的创造力让我受益匪浅。
学生领导力峰会及其后续活动为我们的学生们提供了难得的机会,与来自不同国家、环境和文化背景的同龄人进行互动和交流。他们同心协力、集思广益,碰撞火花,探索如何通过实际行动为所在的学校和社区带来积极的改变。而更重要的是,他们通过各自组织的活动将所学到的技能和所建立的联结带入学校、带入日常、带入未来,并在这个过程中收获个人的成长与蜕变。
这样的交流经验也让他们受益良多:
与来自其他学校的学生领袖进行交流,聆听不同的观点(特别是在分组讨论中),从与同伴的对话中获得启发。
每年的学生领导力峰会,我们都全力以赴、倾力筹备,以确保我们的学生能够参与到真正具有现实意义和影响力的话题讨论中。同时,我们也着重提升他们的全球视野,使他们能够更好地在本地社区和全球发挥领导力。领导力并非只属于个人,真正的领导力意味着贯穿终生的公民意识和乐于参与和奉献的社区精神。
最后,让我们祝贺所有才华横溢,充满自信,愿意踏上领袖舞台的年轻领导者,祝贺第六届学生领导力峰会的完美落幕。展望新一届峰会,我们充满期待,满怀信心!
