IYES領袖營的心得感想
邱莛洧
從小，我就盼望著能多認識國外的朋友，進行交流，能真實的體驗了解每個國家的文化不同，藉由扶少團區代表的資歷，與日本香港及其他交換學生有接觸後，更是期待有更多的機會能做全程英文的溝通，有天媽媽拿著繳費單及報名表，告訴我他幫我報名了這樣的一個活動，仔細看了課程表後感到非常有挑戰性，於是抱著非常雀躍以及期待與緊張的心情，整理我的行李準備踏上我的領袖之路。
當我進到營隊時，報到當天我是台灣人的最後一位，當時的我懷著忐忑的心情，擔心自己的能力，擔心無法跟其他人溝通，擔心著許多的擔心，事實證明我的許多擔心都是多餘的，我的室友是一位年紀比我小的台灣小弟弟，(
後來他竟然成了我的學弟 )
，破冰的自我介紹，熱我消彌了以往對對岸學生的誤解，他們大部分是大學生，而且熱情、態度好、英文能力又好，讓我對自己的能力更是小小緊張一下，在後來的幾天我與大家打成一片，所有的顧慮全都沒了，他們都是抱持著學習與交流真誠的的心情來參與這個活動，態度真是一個重要的課題，一開始便讓上了重要的一課。
課程與討論中都是全部以英文為主，中文為輔，我們這組有個醫生特別優秀，因為每一組都要討論一個專題的報告，像是What is a
leadership?、Global Leader for tomorrow
competition，大多是有關未來的展望以及未來全球的競爭壓力，與競爭的方式，我們在做報告的時候依然是以whole
english的方式在進行這報告，不管是在討論或是跟老師請教，都是team work
一個團隊缺一不可！大家都必須參與到。我也了解到了不管是不是用英文，一個團隊就是一個團隊，大家都需要盡一份力才會使這個團體成功，這又是重要的五個課題--團結力量大、腦力激盪、溝通協調、如何傾聽及表達
沒有誰是一個人就可以完所有的事情，透過大家的不同知識學習表達及溝通協調中獲得最佳的討論結果，一個好的領導者必須會傾聽及互相協調才能做出最好的決策，都在課程中讓我們體會，著實獲益良多。
這次的活動中，我深深體會到友誼是不分國界的，放下心裡的那面牆，全心參與這次營隊，認識了許多優秀異地好友，還有即便有時差還是用心教導我們的老師們，不厭其煩的講解專題該如何去進行，去研討，這對我未來的高中大學甚至未來的生涯中真是受益良多，因為我們會參加許多大大小小的會議、專題、論文等報告，在此次營隊中感謝主辦單位用心安排讓我們在潛移默化中學到一些專業的概念，也更了解人與人之間那種互動，相處模式，羅斯福說：成功的公式中，最重要的一項因素是與人相處！保羅蓋帝也說：一個主管，不管他擁有多少知識，如果他不能帶動人完成使命，他是毫無價值。這證明了，在未來的社會中，人際交流以及相處溝通是非常重要的，如何讓一個團隊有向心力，就是需要一個領袖，不管是精神上還是行動上，我們就是要往這個目標前進！加油！
Power of Connection - iYES國際青年領袖營心得
何思瑩
Stepping down the bus at Fo
Guang University, breathing the quite fresh air, looking at each
student wearing big smiles, at that moment, I firmly believed
there would be a marvelous journey waiting for me in this camp!
This camp was called International Youth Leadership Camp, which
is founded by AIEF in Taiwan. To my delight, through the camp's
courses and activities, I acquired limitless concepts and
viewpoints which I hadn't got before; most importantly, I
learned to have confidence, and to "dream big" because "I can be
a leader."
Before joining the camp, I was a girl that didn't have
confidence in myself, and didn't consider myself a leader
because I thought others always were better than me. However,
when I attended the camp and immersed myself into it, my
attitude towards myself thoroughly changed. There were many
students coming from different countries and different cultural
backgrounds such as Beijing, Malaysia, Canada, and Taiwan.
Originally, I felt greatly excited about the "international"
environment and thought of the camp as a precious platform and
opportunity for me to contact with people having different
cultures and languages. Nevertheless, my timid and unconfident
characteristics, like the devil, appeared in my mind;
consequently, I was afraid of speaking during the discussion
time. To my surprise, my team members, who mostly came from
Mainland China, broke my fear through their passion, friendly
attitude, and the most important key- confidence. They were
kind, passionate, and always willing to show what they thought
about; gradually, I was affected by them and tried to talked
about my ideas and feeling, and to share my thought with them. I
was surprised with my change, and felt I had grown up to be a
"leader" step by step.
During the lessons and activities of the camp, I found and
acquired the most important and precious treasure, and that was
the power of "connection" and "influence". Not only the
successful people who were introduced by the trainers or great
lecturers in the courses but my new friends, who came from
different countries using their confidence and vitality to
change myself, they all taught me the same lesson- the power of
connection. A great leader was never alone; they must have
followers, and most importantly, each follower was a leader,
too. Only the connection of people can change the world!
The camp really taught me a lot, no matter through the courses,
lessons, or through the interaction with youth from different
cultures and nations. I trust I would never be timid or
unconfident anymore because I have already learned the meaning
of a great "tribe leader" and "future leader". However, "my"
connection wouldn't cease at the end of the camp; I would do my
best to pass forward the knowledge, hopefulness, and the
brand-new leadership. Hopefully, I could be a truly successful
leader- not only to lead myself, but give others delight and
power. Thanks all my dear trainers, my new friends, and the camp
for teaching me the greatest lessons in my life.
Aief iYes Leadership Summer Camp
徐竟( Camille)
I have never thought that 8
days could be this short. From the very first day to the last,
not only did I learn how to embrace other cultures but I also
had an eye-opening experience at Fo Guang University along with
our instructors.
At first, I was really
afraid of talking to others in my group. On the first hand,
because almost everyone here is older than me, on the other
hand, it's actually quite tough for me to discuss with others
since I'm not familiar with the Beijing accent. Once they talk
too fast, I can barely understand what are they trying to say.
However, things has changed day by day. After taking classes and
touring around together, between our members we had something
like a strong bond, there was no such a thing called cultural
barrier. The preparation of our presentation went really well,
and we all had a blast working together on it. I think this just
shows the camp's theme- "One World, Same Dream."
Among these days, we also
took lots of courses. The first one was Dr. Lei's presentation,
about marching towards a brave new world. Had it not been for
her, I would probably never know the ‘KIVA’ project.
Additionally there were also Mr. Stanley Yen, Ms, Cher-Jean
Lee's presentation as well. Mr. Yen’s speech was the most
profound of all to me. It's his attitude that make’s him so
successful today. Like our instructor Sabrina said, "Pay
attention to details," that's how you deal with things. In the
group discussion classes, Lee and Sarah (our other instructors)
showed us several videos from TED, then made deeper discussions
into the topic of leadership. Another important point I learn
from it is to believe in yourself. That's the foundation of
everything.
It was no surprised that
these days has gone so well. The camp soon came to it's end. But
the spirit we gained from here is going to be "passed forward"
to more and more people. The program really did widen my
horizons and changed some of my perspectives toward life. The
last but not the least, hopefully I will have the chance to see
these amazing people next year.
