How time flies! 为期一周的“中外文化交流周”在同学们与外教的欢歌中徐徐落下帷幕，参加此次活动的学员获得“晋中信息学院中外文化交流大使”称号，他们也将身体力行，不断宣传中国文化、山西本土文化，同时积极引入外国文化，取其精华，为我所用。
晋中信息学院自建校以来就斥巨资为学生搭建国际交流平台，每年选拔百余名师生前往美国、德国等国家交流，后疫情时代学校国际化特色持续发力，此次中外文化交流周系列活动中，外教和学员一起，通过线下活动探索中国文化的魅力，同时通过外教的视角解读文化元素，既传播了山西文化、传统民俗，又发掘了学生潜力，得到了项目成员的一致好评。
中外文化交流周中的每一个环节，每一次交流都碰撞出了思想的火花——在具有2700年历史的平遥古城里，外教与学员一起感受文化古韵，切身体验晋商的开拓进取，勇于拼搏；在山西中医药博物馆则通过学习中医精髓“望闻问切”以及制作药丸认知中医的博大精深；在香气四溢的鑫炳记食府，外教和学员一行品尝了自己亲手制作的太谷饼，软糯香甜，绵软细腻，山西的食文化在舌尖绽放；古色古香的三多堂是晋商大院的典型代表，外教朋友在赞叹之余更是频频拍照，不断与学员交流关于砖雕、木雕所代表的意义；孟母文化园的古礼拜师仪式上外教与学员一起，庄严肃穆，每一走步都是在向传统文化致敬，拱手作揖间仿佛置身私塾；番茄小镇对现代技术的诠释通过每一颗饱满红艳的小番茄体现，农高区的科技展览更是架起了古今相融、中外相合的桥梁。
每一个参加中外文化交流周的学员都在此次的活动中进一步认识了中国传统文化，感受到了山西本土文化的魅力和特色，学员们作为中外文化交流周“宣传大使”勇于向外教介绍自己所了解的内涵，在活动中一边体验一边交流；外教们则通过讲解《德国制造》，《美国大学带给我的改变》的主题打开了学员们认知外国文化的大门，相信学员们将以此为契机，不断与外教们深入交流，通过对比深切感知中外文化的异同。
三位外教对“中外文化交流周”的评价让我们相信，面对面的跨文化交流一举多赢，教师和学员各有所获：
“If I could sum up our journey in one world to JCI for
this past week with our daily encounters with students
and the Teaching staff, I don’t think I could other
than, “If being Students and Staff of JCI was an Olympic
gold event they would both get the Gold”. Thank you for
allowing me to be a part of your JCI World during the
Sino-Culture Exchange Program.”
——Peter Joseph Grasser III
“The whole week depended on the students willingness
and courage to talk and converse with all three foreign
teachers. Thankfully for us, we couldn’t stop them
talking, laughing and engaging with us the entire time.
The students who attended our presentations and those
who presented great PPTs themselves really made me proud
and happy to have come. There are too many students to
name but I would like to single out Jane, Kristin, Rose,
Liu Xixian, Jessica, Cosima, Bella Wei, Mork and York
for trying the hardest to use all the English they have
learned and making me feel as if I’m talking to almost
native English speakers! ”
——Clive Hugh Lebozer
“I want to say Thankyou - from the bottom of my heart
- for your company during this wonderful stay, which
made it a real pleasure. Thank you to the teachers for
the great organization! And thank you for the two
especially memorable evenings, one being the Musical
“New World” and the other our final gathering in the
courtyard of Prospect College, where the students
received their certificates.”
——Stegmiller Elias Andreas
首届中外文化交流周期间，学员们通过自身实践弘扬了文化自信，让传统文化在外教们的心里播下种子；外教们通过对比了解了那些隐藏在雕梁画栋、传统风俗中的中国元素；学员与外教互为导师，既增长了见识，也加深了感情，同时提高了同学们的语言交流能力。中外文化交流周的举办充分体现了我校国际化特色，欢迎每一位同学的加入，来这里，在国际化的氛围中体验多元文化魅力！来这里，从晋中信息学院走向世界！
