INSPIRING STUDENTS features stories about our exceptional BCIS Warriors who have empowered others in the school and community. Their actions have positively impacted the BCIS community and the world. Join us in congratulating our inspirational students as they continue to make change.
When Anna, a Grade 11 BCIS Warrior, was on the subway for her daily commute to class, she noticed that something important was missing. "There are no sanitary napkin vendors in the subway stations, and the stations are pretty far away from shopping malls. If people spend so much time on public transportation, they need access to such a necessary material." It was this particular problem that inspired Anna to pursue action in the form of her MYP Personal Project for school. Anna used her skills to make an impactful change for women in the world, and her motivation was recognized by the International Baccalaureate (IB) with the award of US$5000 in the form of the Dr. Siva Kumari MYP Student Innovators Grant.
Anna's project was one of only 27 projects from the entire world that qualified for the Student Innovators Grant. In fact, she had applied for the grant the previous year with another of her projects but was not successful. After some reflection, she felt empowered to change her topic to focus on a broader issue that could help even more people. She was able to combine her passion for gender studies with a practical approach to helping solve a problem for the women of her city. This amalgamation of her personal interests and practical solutions allowed her project to truly shine and stand out from the pile of other applications for the Dr. Siva Kumari award.

At the heart of Anna’s project is her desire to create positive change. "I'm so passionate about being a changemaker," she says. Anna's award-winning project will connect companies that make sanitary napkins with NGOs and set up vending machines to make the products available to women who use Beijing's public transportation. These vending machines will be placed in subway stations and other crowded areas and all proceeds from their sales will be donated to charities working for gender equality. In this way, the project creates a positive cycle that will continue to help women in the community and beyond.
Anna initially almost missed the email announcing that she was a finalist for the Student Innovator Grant; however, when she realized that she had won the award, she was shocked and overjoyed. The difficulties she faced the previous year with her application made this year's award so much more meaningful. She believes that it was both the large impact her project will have, combined with her own motivation to address such issues that helped her win the grant from the IB. In addition to the money that she received to help her carry out her project, she also got to meet with advisors from the IB and other finalists from around the world, who helped give her feedback and even more ideas for her work.
The Dr. Siva Kumari Grant is a yearly award given to students at IB schools around the world who wish to create an initiative with a large social impact. Winning this award was a high honor for Anna and demonstrates her incredible work at BCIS and in the larger community. This project is not the only project she has undertaken in her time at our school. In fact, she also helped establish the group "Girl Up", that works to provide sanitary products and education on gender issues for girls at BCIS. Anna describes how she felt collaborating with her classmates to set up the group, stating "I was surprised because I never thought that I could make this much progress, and meet so many people who are also so passionate about gender issues." Through this collaboration, Anna and her classmates were able to further research issues faced by many women and come up with solutions to address these issues.
The valuable experiences Anna gained both from activities as well as in her classes at BCIS helped her win the prestigious grant from the IB. In addition to starting "Girl Up", she also learned valuable skills such as project management during her middle and high school studies here at BCIS. Anna thanks her teachers and advisors for the fantastic support they have provided throughout her academic journey. Our advisors and teachers impart key values to students, such as the resilience Anna demonstrated in submitting a second application for the grant that was ultimately successful. She explains how she didn't give up, saying, "I applied when I was in Grade 9, and I didn't get in. In Grade 10, I wanted to try the whole process again, even though I had been denied. I felt like I could come up with something that was more related to society, not something just related to me as an individual, but connected to other people." Her dedication to help others shows that Anna truly has the BCIS Warrior Spirit.
Anna's award-winning project perfectly demonstrates the BCIS mission of "challenging and empowering students to be compassionate and inspired people, who act for the good of all and the sustainable development of the world." The whole school is excited for her personal success, and the community can benefit from her efforts! Looking ahead, Anna will continue to be involved in helping empower the students at our school and helping the women in our community. For her own studies, she would like to pursue gender studies, so she can find more opportunities to help make the world a better place. We extend our warm congratulations to Anna for her outstanding achievement, and thanks her for her work in our school and greater community!
每個人都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，大多數(shù)人會選擇去適應(yīng)去忽視，但是通過行動去解決問題的人很少。

每年，國際文憑組織都會向全球各大IB世界學(xué)校 9 年級和 10 年級的學(xué)生發(fā)起MYP創(chuàng)新獎，并為入圍決賽者提供諸如行業(yè)專家、頂尖導(dǎo)師輔導(dǎo)和資金支持等機會，促使他們成為具有社會意識的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，創(chuàng)新者和企業(yè)家，并對社區(qū)產(chǎn)生影響。這個獎項的全球決賽入圍項目基本不超過30個，而今年，樂成11年級的Anna從全球IB世界學(xué)校中脫穎而出，憑借女性互助項目“公共區(qū)域女性互助衛(wèi)生巾盒”獲得2021年MYP創(chuàng)新獎，并成為了2021年中國大陸區(qū)唯一一個獲得該獎的學(xué)生。
樂成勇士精神，越挫越勇
項目的成功入圍絕不是一蹴而就的，早在9年級的時候Anna就已經(jīng)嘗試申請了MYP創(chuàng)新獎，但那時她的項目落選了。然而她沒有輕易放棄，秉承BCIS的勇士精神，勇往直前。
最開始Anna只是對性別研究很感興趣，并且通過學(xué)校的課外學(xué)習(xí)課程的負責(zé)人提議展開一個類似主題的項目，結(jié)果同學(xué)們意外的對這個主題很感興趣并且愿意參與研究。在閱讀了一些有關(guān)性別不平等的文章后，她們很吃驚的發(fā)現(xiàn)在印度和非洲的女性衛(wèi)生條件十分落后，甚至有“月經(jīng)貧困”或者“月經(jīng)羞恥論”的情況。很多地方女性甚至連衛(wèi)生巾都用不上，這嚴重影響了女性的正常生活。

據(jù)Anna描述，她每天在地鐵上的時間大約有40分鐘到1個小時，通常地鐵的衛(wèi)生間不提供女性衛(wèi)生用品，離購物中心也很遠。一旦月經(jīng)不期而來，就會非常不方便，Anna自此想要通過一些調(diào)查和研究來尋找解決方法。在她今年獲獎的項目中，她計劃將合作品牌提供的棉質(zhì)環(huán)保衛(wèi)生巾放在公共場所設(shè)置的自動售貨機中，包括地鐵站、火車站和當?shù)爻鞘泻徒紖^(qū)的學(xué)校。她認為這樣不僅可以提高公司的銷售量和品牌影響力，還能幫助提高公眾的性別平等意識。
如果說熱愛是她選擇開始的力量，那么9年級的項目申請失敗后，10年級繼續(xù)優(yōu)化并申請項目的越挫越勇的精神和對于社會的責(zé)任感，則是她選擇堅持的力量和突破自我的支撐。
女性力量賦能，做一個對社會有影響的創(chuàng)變者
“富有同理心，自主賦能，對世界充滿好奇心”是Anna對自己評價。
身為女性，所以更能理解女性。也因為理解，才讓Anna富有同理心并且付之于行動?！癎irl Up”是Anna和同學(xué)們利用課余時間創(chuàng)立的課外活動組織，他們從學(xué)校做起，在學(xué)校的女士衛(wèi)生間提供環(huán)保衛(wèi)生巾互助盒。
除了校內(nèi)的活動，Anna還參加校外各類志愿者活動，如通過慈善機構(gòu)幫助中國貧困地區(qū)的孩子。她告訴我們，這些學(xué)校大多孩子的父母沒有在身邊，其中很多女孩子可能沒有接受過性別教育，沒有人告訴她們有關(guān)女性衛(wèi)生的知識，導(dǎo)致她們經(jīng)歷了“月經(jīng)羞恥”或“身體羞恥”。
“我會用項目獎勵資助那些沒有機會獲得這些知識或物品的女孩們?！?Anna未來計劃把獎金用在性教育上，比如一些國內(nèi)的非盈利組織和她自己創(chuàng)建的相關(guān)項目。
在成就項目的過程中要戰(zhàn)勝的，除了那些關(guān)于性別的刻板成見，還有關(guān)于年齡的固有偏見，但是，女孩卻告訴這個世界，從點滴做起，她想要做一個對社會有影響的創(chuàng)變者。這一份對社會的責(zé)任感難能可貴。采訪中，我們能看到Anna眼里有光，她擁有著歷經(jīng)困難仍勇于前行的熱情，和不局限于任何年齡的女性力量。這一切，真實而又擲地有聲。
全力支持每一個有夢想的學(xué)生，世界才是真正的舞臺
“作為一所IB世界學(xué)校，樂成從PYP, MYP, 一直到IBDP項目，以終為始，一以貫之。”樂成IBDP協(xié)調(diào)員David老師認為，“樂成的特別之處在于，只要我們的學(xué)生想要選擇IBDP課程，不論他們的成績?nèi)绾?，我們就會全力支持?！?nbsp;
在課程學(xué)習(xí)期間，學(xué)校會單獨設(shè)立課程顧問指導(dǎo)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)進程，定期還會組織與大學(xué)招生官見面，讓學(xué)生更能了解自己的能力和目標。
在David老師看來，學(xué)生真正的成功不是具體取得了多少分的好成績，而是通過學(xué)習(xí)所真正掌握的技能。而這些正是面向未來的教育所重視的，希望學(xué)生的視野不局限于學(xué)校，而是擁有遠見，在未來的學(xué)習(xí)生活里不斷嘗試，勇于冒險，堅持不懈，并且回饋社會。而這些品質(zhì)，也正是Anna能成功收獲MYP創(chuàng)新獎的原因。
MYP創(chuàng)新獎
創(chuàng)建于2019年的IB MYP創(chuàng)新獎希望激勵和培養(yǎng)學(xué)生成為成為具有社會意識的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，創(chuàng)新者和企業(yè)家，并對社區(qū)產(chǎn)生影響。入圍決賽的學(xué)生們將有機會獲得：
· 與來自全世界30所IB世界學(xué)校的創(chuàng)新伙伴網(wǎng)絡(luò)進行合作
· 獲得行業(yè)專家和頂尖導(dǎo)師輔導(dǎo)的機會
