教学和学习并不仅仅存在于传统意义上的课堂中的“传道授业解惑”,有时候,回归自然本源恰恰更是一种符合自然之道,成长规律的方式。
你有尝试过在沙漠荒野中徒步一周,亲临自然的广博和雄伟吗?
你有经历过走出水泥围墙的城市,摆脱现代生活的种种,完全置身于自然,真正观察供养我们赖以为生的生态系统吗?
由迪肯大学校友,澳洲黄沙资本创办人刘启樑先生带领支持的公益志愿者项目,亚太地区商学院沙漠挑战赛,携手迪肯大学的5位同学,以及来自青海的农村孩子们一起,开始了这次“身体”和“心灵”双行进的沙漠之旅。
亚太地区商学院沙漠挑战赛”(简称“亚沙赛”),是在亚太地区顶级商学院的MBA学员群体中展开的一项竞技体验式文化赛事。各校参赛的MBA学员通过徒步穿越70余公里沙漠的竞技比赛,亲自体验和践行“环保、协作、坚持、责任”的赛事理念。亚沙赛最高奖项为沙鸥奖。首届赛事于2012年在内蒙古腾格里沙漠举行,已连续成功举办六届。目前参赛院校达到97所,涵盖中国大陆、台湾、香港、澳门、新加坡、英国、澳大利亚等国家和地区,参赛人数到达2200人,赛事直接覆盖人群逾20万人。
自从2016年作为首家澳洲大学参与亚太地区商学院沙漠挑战赛(简称亚沙赛),迪肯大学将继续在2018年与来自中国、美国、英国、加拿大、新加坡、中国香港、台湾等97所院校2200名参赛者参与今年在腾格里沙漠举行的第七届亚沙赛盛事。不同的是我们这次不是仅仅挑战自己,而是带着更大的使命和责任。
迪肯将在2018的第7届亚沙中作为第一和唯一的院校联同亚沙公益和中国红十字会基金亲基金陪护5位来自远在青海亲基金未来教室的农村孩子参与体验沙漠。 同时在进入腾格里沙漠后迪肯团队将一对一辅导孩子们完成一个有关沙漠生态环境的实地作业。 迪肯大学中国校友创会和首任会长兼亚沙公益负责人Lawrence Lau将担任领队工作。迪肯大学国际部副部长兼中国事务主任孙琎也全程代表迪肯大学参与支持。

这次是远在青海省大通回族土族自治县上阳山村的同学第一次离开家乡,他们非常期待这个旅程能与澳洲迪肯的导师和来自各国的亚沙赛参赛者见面交流。他们已经在积极加强体能锻炼和与班中其他同学准备在沙漠的调研和标本采集。我们希望通过这个旅程,让农村孩子可以开阔视野,准备未来。
来自澳洲迪肯大学的志愿者将全程陪护孩子们完成全部赛程,并在沙漠中完成“沙漠生态环境”的研究性学习,收集样本,制作沙漠生态环境沙盘模型。教材由Lawrence 和他在昆士兰省的女儿编制并由迪肯校友在现场辅导同学执行。
迪肯大学也慷慨捐赠农村孩子的部分装备和沙漠生态环境习作的沙盘制作材料。让我们在此预祝这个意义重大的活动完满成功。
迪肯大学代表感言:
“感谢迪肯大学校友Lawrence的组织与协调,我非常荣幸能有机会代表澳大利亚迪肯大学成为此次沙7迪肯+亚沙赛+亲基金联队的一份子,与五位来自青海的同学们一起穿越沙漠,并完成关于沙漠生态环境研究的习作。这不仅会帮助几位孩子开阔眼界,对我本人也是意义非凡。我也期待能有更多的校友和朋友们参与到今后的活动中来。感谢所有为此次活动默默奉献与付出的朋友们。”

The Asia Pacific Business School Desert Challenge, or “YASHA Challenge”, is an athletically experiential culture competition among MBA students from top business schools in the Asia Pacific region. The participating MBA students experience and practice the concept of "environmental protection, collaboration, persistence and responsibility" by completing the 70 km desert competition. The highest award in the Asian games is the Gulls award. The first event was held in the tengger desert in inner Mongolia in 2012 and has been successfully held for six consecutive years. By far 97 universities have been seen in participating in YASHA Challenge, including mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, macau, Singapore, Britain, Australia and other countries and regions, estimably 2200 people participated, while in the meantime, reaching the total exposure of more than 200000 people in the crowd.
Deakin was the first Australian university participated in the Asia Pacific Business School Desert Challenge (YASHA Challenge) in 2016. We will join 2200 participants from over 97 business schools from China, USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 7th YASHA Race this year in the Tanger Desert in Inner Mongolia, China. Unlike previous years that our goal was to challenge ourselves, we will undertake much greater responsibilities.
Deakin will be the FIRST and ONLY university to join force with YASHA Charity and China Red Cross Foundation Qin Rural Education Charity Funds to take 5 students from the rural school to participate in the 7th YASHA Challenge. The Deakin team will also provide one on one coaching to the student on a Desert Ecosystem project. Lawrence Lau, ex-president of Deakin China Alumni and YASHA Charity, will assume the role of leader. James Sun, Associate Director of Deakin International and Director of Deakin China, will join the challenge.
This is the first time these rural students leave there home town. They look forward very much this opportunity to meet with their coaches from the Deakin team and other participants in the YASHA challenge. Daily physical exercise and preparation for the site project is underway. We hope this trip can provide an opportunity to these rural students to see the world beyond their village and many possibilities in life.
Volunteers from the Deakin team will accompany the children and coach them to complete the project to study the desert ecosystem in the Tenggeli Desert. Teaching materials were designed by Lawrence and his daughter who currently studies in Queensland while the team will assist the student to carry out field works. The purpose is to enable the students to appreciate and protect our precious planet and to learn to think creatively.
Deakin University has donated part of the outdoor gears and materials for the desert ecosystem project. Let’s wish the team a safe and fun trip with the kids.
Alumni wil continue to work wit the Red Cross Foundation and YaSha Charity to strengthen our efforts to assist rural children to learn more skillsets to prepare themselves for the future. We will provide more information on how you can help as we shape our plans. Feel free to contact Lawrence Lau on[email protected], if you are keen to be part of this meaningful initiative.
