VBS缤纷社团的光与梦，培养一位“眼中有光，心中有梦”的孩子，从一场社团活动开始……

每个人心中都有一种宏大的热情，

一种对冒险的奇特渴望，

一种希望在生命长旅中勇敢地、鲜活地生活下去的愿望。

—Kurt Hahn

There exists within everyone a grand passion,

an outlandish thrist for adventure,

a deisre to live boldly and vividly through the journey of life.

—Kurt Hahn

而教育就是激发这种热情，让孩子追随内心的源动力去探索，去创造。

Education is about stimulating this passion which children are able to follow inner strength in their hearts to create and explore.  

近年来，在跨国企业中，印度裔的CEO数量占全球CEO数量的30%，这一现象，不禁让我们好奇，到底是什么样的教育模式和思想根源，产生这样的改变？在大火的《他乡的童年》中，我们可以一窥端倪。

In recent years, among all the CEOs in the MNCs, 30% of them are Indian descendants, which makes us question what kind of mindsets and patterns in education cause this phenomenon. In the popular 'childhood elsewhere' , we can find out why.

除了Jugaad的行为解决模式，课堂上质疑正确答案的“批判性课堂”，其中在“云中学校”和“天堂学校”里学校倡导的 SOLE理念，分别给印度“贫困地区教育”和“精英教育”带来了巨大的影响和改变。在SOLE的模式里，孩子们忘记了自己是在某种规范之中，他们跟随自己的兴趣，利用互联网工具，在自己找答案时忘记了时间与空间的刻度，自己变成学习的主人。

Besides the behaviour solution proposed by Jugaad, critical thinking classes which question the right answers, 'School in the Cloud' using the SOLE concept all have influenced and transformed Indian education in poverty region and elite education. Under SOLE, students can pursue their interests using Internet tools and masters of their own studies while boundaries of time, space and rules are removed.

SOLE就是我们寻找的答案之一。

SOLE is the answer we are looking for.

SOLE是Self Organized Learning Environment 的缩写，意为“自组织的学习环境”，这个理念来源于英国纽卡斯尔大学的教授Sugata Mitra的研究，旨在鼓励孩子探索问题,让他们利用天生的好奇心形成自我驱动的学习环境，并在团队合作中，进行问题和目标导向型团队的自我学习，自我管理和自我进化。

SOLE stands for Self Organized Learning Environment, it was originated from Professor Sugata Mitra, University of Newcastle, UK and aimed to encourage children to explore and exploit natural inquisitiveness to form a self-motivated learning environment. In the form of  teamwork, to perform result-oriented and question-based independent learning, self-management and self-evolution.

它的核心要素包括：自组织，兴趣与热情，沟通与协作，社会化，自我管理，同伴学习环境。

Its core elements are: self-organised, interest and passion, communication and collaboration, socialised, self-management, peer studying environment.

万小双的“缤纷社团”活动，同样是SOLE理念的践行者。

VBS students society activities uphold the SOLE concept.

“社团就是一群人因为共同的理想、爱好，组织起来，一起提升，一起发展。”

—杨帆校长

'Society is all about a group of people who share common hobbies and ideas to grow and improve themselves,'

—Principal Yang

在万双的校园里，学生社团就是这么一个志同道合人员的集合体。社团成员由有共同兴趣和爱好的在校就读学生自愿组成，由两位同学发起，招募。社团成员一般不少于6人。学校现有72个学生社团。

社团招募会现场

In VBS, students society is the place where like-minded students unite. Members of each society consist of students who share common interests and voluntarily sign up for. Two students are required to initiate their society and recruit no fewer than four members. Currently VBS has 72 students societies.

万双的学生社团活动内容分为领导素养、科学素养、人文素养、艺术素养、体育素质、专题探究、生活技能、服务实践等八大类别。学生们在这八大类别的框架内能畅所欲想，自由发挥，设计和组建自己感兴趣的社团，找到志同道合的伙伴。

Society activities are classified into eight categories - leadership, scientific, humanities, artistic, sports, project research, life skills and service learning. Students are free to think, design, and form societies based on their interests, and through these societies like-minded pupils can come together and learn from each other.

当“缤纷社团”这个话题碰巧和一群万双学生的兴趣产生交集的时候，我们惊讶地看到，孩子们眼中的光在闪耀，在汇聚。他们内心里燃烧着梦想——他们对自己一手创办的社团满怀热情——创意满满的海报和口号，热情洋溢的招募邀请，大胆切实的社团规划，专注认真的活动组织……

As the idea of student societies comes across with the students' interests, surprisingly we see students are excited. With dreams inside their hearts, they are passionate about the societies created by their own - they put up creative flyers and cheers during the fervent recruitment session as well as plan boldly but realistically and organise activities with focus and seriousness.

编程与物联网社团社长：刘亦然

Liu Yiran 7C, President of Programming and IoT Society

我们的社团为对科技有兴趣，热爱科学，好奇心强，逻辑能力强，拥有批判性思维和创造力的同学量身定制可以自由创造和发挥的空间，培养社员的合作能力和编程能力，对每一位社员负责。

Our society is tailored for students who have interests in science and technology, who love science, who are curious and strong in logics, who have critical thinking skills and innovations. It has rooms for them to create and perform their talents while facilitating teamwork and programming ability. We are responsible for every member.

我们相信，编程是未来的第二通用语言，是驾驭人工智能的工具。目前，我们实施轮值小助教的形式选择社团干部，聘请老师指导，成立家长后援团，邀请科技行业家长不定期指导，并将组织社员到校外高科技企业参观，开阔学生视野。

We believe that programming is the second most commonly used language in future, and a tool to AI. As for now, we choose leaders in the form of rotation as tutors and invite teachers for guidance. We also have a parents committee which invites parents from the sector to guide us from time to time, while organising exhibition tours to high-tech enterprises to broaden our horizons.

小记者社团社长：陈韵  4D

Chen Yun 4D, President of Student Journalist Society

我本人喜欢和语言表达相关的活动，如采访、朗诵、主持和演戏。成立社团是希望我和同学们在采访、拍照、语言表达方面的能力有所提升。同时，我觉得这些能力对于同学们来说也很重要，希望大家共同学习、进步。在社团活动中，我觉得自己的语言表达能力得到了提高，在采访他人或接受采访时，知道怎么组织语言了。我将来的梦想是成为一名专业演员，作为演员最重要的技能之一就是如何表达自己以及随机应变的能力，这两项技能都在社团活动中得到了锻炼。

I like activities related to language articulation such as interviewing, reciting, hosting and performing a play. The establishment of the society is to improve our ability in those areas. I think this ability is crucial for pupils, and hope everyone learn and progress. In conducting activities, I have improved my linguistic ability and know how to organise my expressions upon interviews. My dream is to become a professional actress, in which one of the key aspects is to express yourself and improvise. I have honed these two skills in doing society activities.

美术社团社长：綦梓涵  2C

Qi Zihan 2C, President of Arts Society

我希望社团每一位成员都能创作出有创意的作品。我教他们用彩色胶水作画，或用水晶彩泥洒到蛋糕上……目前我们社团有9个人，为了让大家都充分挥自己的才华，大家轮流担任社长。当社长是一件非常开心的事，我每天都在想下节课要教他们画什么，自己也在不断进步。

I hope every member in this society can craft innovative paintings. As I teach members to paint using colorful gels or . Currently we have nine members, and we take turns to be the president so that everyone gets to show their talents. It is delighted for me to take the president position as I constantly improve myself by mulling over on things I plan to teach fellow members to paint every single day.

沨之诺篮球社团社长：彭淦沨  3D

Peng Ganfeng 3D, President of Basketball Society

我们社团有12人，与有共同爱好的同学一起打球是一件很开心的事。大家在一起有说有笑，增进了友谊。通过学习和交流，我懂得了正规比赛的规则，我梦想有一天当一名演员或一名优秀的球员。

We have 12 members in our society, it is real fun to play basketball with pupils having the common interest. Everyone gets to know one another in laughters as we play along. Through learning from one another and communication, I understand the rules of the game and I would like to be an actor or an excellent basketball player.

足球社团社长：李羿辰  4C

Li Yichen 4C,  President of Football Society

为了与大家一起感受足球的乐趣，增强体质，我们成立了足球社团。目前有社员16名。大家在操场分队踢球，或展开一场点球大战，十分过瘾。我的梦想是进入中国足球队，并且当队长。

To improve our fitness and enjoy playing football with everybody, we form the football society. Currently it has 16 members. We often separate into groups to play matches or penalty shout-out at the pitch, which is thrilling. My dream is to be the captain of Chinese national football team.

在SOLE学习模式里，我们可以看到两个重点，第一是“自我”，第二是“环境”。

“自我”现在越来越普及，国内这几年火热的“PBL”，就是基于项目制的学习，强调自主探究。

而“环境”往往却被忽略。学习并不是单打独斗，一个人就算再牛，能力也有局限。

如何营造一个学习好环境，利用环境优势学到最多最好，从同伴中学习。是SOLE教育给我们带来更有启发的部分。也是万小双在“社团活动”中进行的探索和整合。

In the SOLE, we observe the two main ideas - 'self' and 'environment'. With the popularisation of 'self' concept and the famous 'PBL', i.e. Project-based Learning, emphasises on independent research.

However, 'environment' is often neglected. Studying is not about doing a solo work, one person still has his/her limits even he/she is naturally intelligent. Exploiting the environment to maximise learning and building a conducive studying environment to facilitate learning from one another, is the part where SOLE enlightens us. This is also what VBS is trying to integrate and explore through student societies.

借来的火,点不亮自己的心灵。

在教育的道路上，我们希望能激发学生内心的原动力，让孩子们不仅能够跟随，去挥洒内心的激情，也能够有效地进行自我管理和自我规划。当SOLE的理念与万小双的“缤纷社团活动“相融合时，也是孩子们”眼中有光，心中有梦，脚下有路”的灿烂人生的进行时。

To motivate students and their inner strength. As the SOLE concept fuses with VBS student societies, it is the time for students to shine.  

万小双说：

在社团活动中，我们衷心希望我们的孩子能在社团活动组织和执行中，活动中去合作与沟通，去创新与创造，去习得核心的创造力与辩证思维、交流与合作素养，并且能在沟通与合作中，进行良好的自我管理（自我认识，自我调控和自我规划），最终在兴趣的导向下，成为一个有公民责任和社会参与感的终身学习者。

VBS said:

We sincerely hope our students to collaborate and communicate, to innovate and create, in the execution and organising societies activities. Hopefully students can be lifelong learners who have civil and social participation after conducting self-management (self-perception, self-control and self-planning) in the interest-oriented process.

关于万科双语学生社团你需要知道的：

学生自己提出想法，设计实现目标的计划，并且全权负责执行。每次活动都有一名老师在现场监督协助。

Anything you need to know about VBS student societies:

Students come up with ideas on plans to achieve the goals and execute fully all by themselves. There will be one teacher on site to supervise the students every session.  

以上只是一部分学生社团，每一个社团都是孩子们锻炼领导力的好平台。

This is just an exceprt of all VBS student societies, each society serves as a great platform for students to development their leadership capabilities.
