时间：8月8日，周五13:00-16:00 

Time:   Friday, August 8, 13:00-16:00 地点：上海美国中心（南京西路 1376 号上海商城东峰 540 室）

Venue: Shanghai American Center, Room 540, East Tower, No. 1376 West Nanjing Rd

你有想象过一个外交官是什么样子吗？你对国际事务相关学位是否感兴趣？欢迎加入我们，同你的小伙伴们一起，仅用三小时的时间，沉浸式学习和体验如何用外交手段来解决一场国际知识产权危机。你将学习并了解国国务院和其他主要利益相关者如何通过谈判解决假冒危机 。

据估计，每年假冒商品的销售额超过2500亿美元，对合法的全球贸易构成了严重威胁。它削弱了创造新产品的动力；既然别人会窃取你的创意，那还有什么创新可言？此外，假冒产品还会为犯罪集团和恐怖组织提供资金。由于商品被走私出境并非法销售，它还会减少各国的税收收入。强有力的知识产权对于保护工人、加强安全和鼓励创新至关重要。

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a diplomat? Are you interested in pursuing a degree in international affairs? Join us for an immersive learning experience as you work with fellow students to resolve a simulated international dispute involving intellectual property rights and illicit trade in just three hours! Learn how the U.S. Department of State and other key stakeholders negotiate to resolve a counterfeiting crisis.

Estimated at over $250 billion per year, the sale of counterfeit goods poses a serious threat to legitimate global trade. It reduces the incentive to create new products; why innovate when others will steal your idea? Moreover, counterfeiting helps fund criminal and terrorist groups. It also reduces tax income for countries, as items are smuggled over borders and sold illegally. Strong intellectual property rights are necessary to protect workers, strengthen security, and encourage innovation.

【什么是模拟外交官工作坊】

模拟外交官工作坊是一场协作学习体验，通过工作坊，学员将体验现实生活中的外交官的角色并解决一场危机（类似于模拟联合国）。在每个模拟项目中，有五到六个利益相关者团体（如外交部、非政府组织和国际组织），每个团体都有不同的观点和优先事项。学员将扮演这些利益相关者，并在情景模拟中通过谈判达成和平解决方案。

学员完成课程后将获得参与证书。不要错过这个体验地道的美国教育，磨练你的批判性思维能力，锻炼你的谈判和公众演讲能力的机会！

What is “Model Diplomacy?”

"Model Diplomacy” is a diplomatic simulation and a collaborative learning experience where students step into the role of a real-life diplomat to resolve a crisis (similar to Model United Nations). Within each simulation, there are five to six stakeholder groups (e.g., foreign ministries, NGOs, and international organizations), each with different perspectives and priorities. Students role-play as these stakeholders and are challenged to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

Participants will receive a certificate upon completion of the workshop. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience an American-style education, hone your critical thinking, and practice your negotiation and public speaking skills!
