EPIIC & EMPOWER 项目由坐落于波士顿的塔夫茨大学（Tufts University）国际领导力组
织（Institute for Global Leadership）举办。从1998年开始，该机构在北大成功举办
了著名的TILIP（Tufts Initiative for Leadership and Global Perspective）项目。
在过去的九年中，有大约30名北大同学参加了这个项目，在生动的国际环境培训中获得了
全新的全球视野和领导技能。其中的很多人已经并将继续在他们的职业生涯、学术生涯或
其他领域中作出杰出的贡献。

EPIIC (Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship) 项目始于19
85年，每年2月在波士顿举行，是著名的高规格学术论坛。每年，学界、政界、商界中的
著名人士被邀请参加EPIIC高峰论坛，讨论当年的议题。五天的论坛富有学术的启发性和
形式的互动性：有会场上生动的讨论，也有会场外各种各样的活动。往年EPIIC论坛的题
目包括：2009- 世界城市——城市的世纪；2008- 全球的贫困和不平等问题; 2007 –全
球危机——管理与干预; 2006 –恐惧的政治学; 2005 – 石油和水资源, 2004 –大国崛
起的困境 Dilemmas of Empire and Nation Building;等等。 2010年,中国、韩国、新加
坡、尼日利亚、巴西、秘鲁、印度等国家的学生代表将在波士顿与塔夫茨大学的同学们欢
聚一堂，共同参加题为“南亚—冲突、文化与复杂性”的EPIIC论坛。

EMPOWER 项目是一个鼓励大学生参与到NGO实习的计划。来自中国、美国、韩国、新加坡
等国家的学生将在EPIIC论坛中相聚，他们将被提供多种多样在知名NGO组织中实习的机会
。实习项目可能涉及艾滋病的预防、小额信贷、饮水安全等等。实习地点根据项目的不同
会有所差异，包括但不限于美国、中国、南非、南美等国家。北大的同学们将会和外国同
学结成对子选择实习项目，并于2010年夏天参加实习（实习期3个月至1年）。

该项目仅针对所有北大同学，本年度将为5-10名同学提供全额奖学金 (包含往返机票和会
议期间的食宿)。 欲知项目的详细信息，请参见附录或登录http://www.tuftsgloballea

特别感谢北大国际合作部和PISEI对本活动的支持。

Here is a letter introducing EPIIC&Empower
Dear PKUer,

We hereby sincerely recommend a FANTASTIC SYMPOSIUM and PILOT INTERNSHIP proj
ect to all our fellow students at Beida - EPIIC & EMPOWER program. The campus
promotion will be held in the week after National Day vacations.

This EPIIC and EMPOWER program combo is hosted by the Institute for Global Le
adership (IGL) at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. The same institu
te has hosted a much renowned and pretentious program – TILIP, Tufts Initiat
ive for Leadership and Global Perspective – in Beida since 1998. Around 40 B
eida students have gone through the past 10 years’ program with a fresh glob
al view and leadership skills professionally trained in a dynamic internation
al environment, many of whom now have made, and are continuing to make, remar
k able achievements in their professional careers, either in academia or in o
ther sectors.

The EPIIC (Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship) progra
m features a prestigious high-profile academic symposium held in Boston, MA,
in February of every year since 1985. Each year, renowned guests from academi
a, industry and government are invited to attend the culminating EPIIC sympos
ium focused on a specific theme. The 5-day symposium is both INSPIRING in kno
wledge and INTERACTIVE in format, with live discussions on spot and multi-fac
ade activities off spot. Past EPIIC themes include: 2009-Global cities; 2008-
Global Poverty and Inequality; 2007- Global Crises: Governance and Interventi
on; 2006 - The Politics of Fear; 2005 - Oil and Water, 2004 - Dilemmas of Emp
ire and Nation Building; etc. In 2010, among other delegates, student delegat
ions from around the world, including but not limited to China, South Korea,
Singapore, Nigeria, Brazil, Peru and India, as well as Tufts students, will g
ather in Boston to participate in the EPIIC symposium on “South Asia: Confli
ct, Culture and Complexity”.

The EMPOWER program is an internship program that empowers the students to al
leviate poverty. Students from China, US, South Korea, Singapore and elsewher
e will meet each other at the EPIIC symposium. They will be provided a projec
t list of various opportunities of internship in proven organizations in pove
rty alleviation, possible projects including AIDS prevention, micro finance,
water safety, etc. The location of internship varies on project, including bu
t not limited to US, China, South Africa, and South America. Beida students w
ill pair up with foreign students and choose their own project to work on in
summer 2010(internship lasts from three month to one year).

The program is open to all and only Beida students, and 5-10 students would b
e endued the full scholarship this year （including the round-trip flights as
well as food and accommodation in Tufts University）. Please refer to Additi
onal Information and http://www.tuftsgloballeadership.org/programs/epiicfor m
ore information. We are looking forward to seeing you in our campus promotion
and interviews.

Special thanks to Office of International Affairs in Peking University and PI
SEI for coordinating the event.

Regards,
EPIIC+EMPOWER PKU Recruitment Committee

Additional Information


South Asia,

South Asia is one of the most dauntingly complex regions of the world.
All of the South Asian states–Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepa
l, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives–are contending with momentous changes,
internally, regionally and globally. The region is home to three of the worl
d’s ten most populated countries, two of the world’s nine nuclear weapons s
tates, and the world’s most corrupt country for five of the last eight years
. Political instability, economic instability, poverty, natural disasters, an
d religious, ethnic and cultural clashes are abundant. It is at once one of t
he world’s most dangerous and most promising of areas.
Afghanistan, in its eighth year's largest democracy, is also the region’s mo
st stable state currently. Its economy is booming, with a growth rate of abou
t seven percent annually. Bangladesh, which has less than 40 years of indepen
dence, continues to suffer both natural disasters and man-made political cris
es. Nepal is undergoing a significant and democratic political transition fol
lowing a number of years of political turmoil and conflict. Sri Lanka has had
a democratic government since independence. However, while some like the US
see it as a stable democracy, others like the United Kingdom and the World Ba
nk have called it a flawed democracy due to the recently ended war with the L
iberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Bhutan, a constitutional monarchy, faces ong
oing border disputes and an influx of refugees. The Maldives may see its enti
re country disappear with the rising sea level.
The internal challenges each country faces are often compounded by its relati
onship with its neighbors .Kashmir, administered by India with a Muslim major
ity, has been the source of numerous conflicts between India and Pakistan, wh
ich have engaged in three wars since partition in 1948.
The attacks on the Indian embassy in Kabul and in Mumbai are alleged to have
been committed by groups originating in and supported by Pakistan, such as La
sh kare-Taiba. Adding to the tensions is the nuclear capacity of both nations
, with fears of unclear command and communication structures. Non-state actor
s such as al Qaeda and the Taliban also continue to threaten regional stabili
ty.
Other issues affecting the region include: How will all of the states contend
with the pressures of Western-style modernity that is welcomed and deplored,
celebrated and cursed? Will religious extremism and ethnic chauvinism overwh
elm democratic structures? What do the countries see as their interests and r
oles in the global struggle against terrorism?


IGL (Institute for Global Leadership)
IGL is a distinctive, cross-school program at Tufts University, Boston. The m
ission of the IGL is to prepare new generations of critical thinkers for effe
ctive and ethical leadership, ready to act as global citizens in addressing i
nternational and national issues across cultures. The Institute emphasizes ri
gorous academic preparation and experiential learning. Students learn through
intensive engagement in classes, global research, internships, workshops, si
mulations and international symposia - all involving national and internation
al leaders from the public and private sectors.
Among its more than 16 programs are EPIIC, Inquiry, the China Cross-Cultural
Leadership Program, and EXPOSURE, and it offers many opportunities for global
research and internships.
