苏曼教育国际发展中心位于英国西北政治经济中心曼彻斯特市。2004年,基于江苏省实施教育国际化的发展战略,为满足中国教师及学校管理者赴英培训需求,实现中国学生赴英修学旅行的梦想,在中国驻曼彻斯特总领馆、江苏省教育厅、曼彻斯特教育局和曼彻斯特城市大学的鼎力支持下,与江苏教育国际交流服务中心合作成立苏曼教育国际发展中心,正式成为江苏省教育厅在英国的海外培训基地。

苏曼中心汇集专业的教育专家顾问,经验丰富的资深讲师,谙熟中英社会文化差异的高效运作团队,为参训学员量身定制培训方案,提供7/24全方位的在英后勤生活保障服务。苏曼与曼彻斯特160多家大、中、小学校和教育机构、当地近300家友好家庭以及其他政府部门、商业机构和社团组织建立了长期合作伙伴关系。依靠强烈的团队精神、丰富的教育资源和专业特长,苏曼逐渐形成自己的品牌文化,赢得了业界良好口碑,并将业务拓展到中英跨文化交流、教育合作、商务考察安排、会展接待等。目前,在事业合作发展部、教师培训部、修学旅行部、个人学习和发展中心、商旅接待部、后勤保障部等6个部门的配合下,主要从事:

2009年苏曼被英国贸易总署授予大中华区杰出奖第二名;2011年和2016年再次入围大中华区中英教育交流贡献单位。苏曼中心总裁许言忠博士长期担任江苏省和广东省海外协会理事,多次被选为在英华人社团的主席和会长,带领大家积极参与各项社会活动,促进中英文化交流,先后三次代表在英华人华侨赴北京参加国庆阅兵和九三抗战纪念活动;2015年,许总应邀出席了曼彻斯特市政厅举行的习近平主席访英欢迎宴会;2017年许总作为海外华侨优秀代表,应邀参加了江苏发展大会。

与此同时,苏曼团队积极参与社会公益事业。例如:2008年资助中国残疾人艺术团来英赈灾义演活动。汶川地震期间,苏曼作为曼城唯一一家申请到上街募捐的机构,带领参训教师和员工走上英国街头为灾民募捐,共筹款超过10万人民币,当地媒体《星岛日报》对此做了专门报道。2012年至2016年,在曼彻斯特总领馆的支持下,苏曼中心作为主要的组织方,与曼城当地华人社团成功举办五届全英中华端午龙舟赛。该活动成为继中国新年活动之后的英国西北地区最大的华人盛事及中国文化推广活动,包括中央电视台朝日新闻、凤凰卫视、中国国际广播电台、BBC曼彻斯特、曼城晚报在内的国内外多家媒体给予了报道。另外,为了传播中国语言文化,增进英国中小学生对中国教育、语言、文化的了解,苏曼走进当地学校,义务组织中国文化日宣讲活动,举办中国文化与语言学习班,教授中文、书法、武术、音乐及传统手工艺,深受当地师生欢迎和好评。

Introduction to Suman Education International

About Suman

Suman Education International, established in 2004, is an award-winning organisation based in Manchester and specialises in cultural, educational, official and social exchange visits between China and the UK. Working closely with Chinese and British Educational Authorities, the Chinese Consulate General of the PRC in Manchester as well as local schools and Universities, Suman has steadily expanded its business into the following areas:

The sustainable relationship with partners, company infrastructure and expertise that Suman has established through these endeavours make us a better choice for delivering tailor-made solutions and training programmes for organisations and groups coming to the UK or developing links and businesses with China. Suman is committed to being the home for the Chinese in Britain and to acting as the bridge for the British to China.

The Suman Network

As the ffirst overseas CPD training centre for teachers for Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education, Suman has developed close links with provincial and local governments in the province which has a population of 78 million and the third highest GDP among China’s provinces. Such a link therefore opens up a huge market for UK organisations working with us. Suman is also a key member of the Sino-British Education Consortium which promotes cultural and educational exchanges between the two countries. Working with over 160 universities, schools, and other educational institutions, professional bodies or organisations, Suman has been successfully sponsoring and organising thousands of events and training programmes at different levels.

We have also helped dozens of schools to forge sister-school links in order to lead and organise mutual visits and exchange programmes. Suman has a broad range of social networks and our premises have become a hub for Sino-British exchange, frequently hosting visits from local council representatives, mayors, business leaders, schools and the Consul General of the PRC. Working with local schools, colleges and universities has also enabled Suman to establish close links within local communities.

Logistic supports

Facilitating the universities to deliver quality training programmes, Suman provides an integrated service to the group during their visits in the UK, providing part or all of the following services:

Such a comprehensive service means that Universities are free to concentrate on the academic input of each visit, leaving Suman to take care of all other logistic details, and so helping to turn a valuable visit into the memorable lifetime experience for the visiting groups.
