Theme of the Month:
Innovation for Peace and Harmony
Human beings were born with a desire for “peace”. For example, in the western civilization using the olive branch as a symbol of peace could be traced back to at least 5th century BC Greece. An olive branch was one of the attributes of Eirene, the Greek goddess of peace. The word “peace” is a concept created to mean societal friendship and harmony without hostility and violence. In a social sense, peace is commonly used to mean a lack of violent conflict, such as war and freedom from fear of violence between individuals or groups or countries. Throughout development history of mankind, Politian and leaders have used peace-making and diplomacy to establish a certain type of events, activities and behavioral restraint through the signing of various agreements or peace treaties. Such activities have helped the establishment of regional peace, national social and political stability and then the achievement of economic development growth.
What are the causes of a conflict? Research shows that there are various reasons which cause conflict and war. There is rarely one clear cause of conflict which will then trigger to a war. The causes of a war are usually various reasons. However, the economic gain – reorganizing economic and technological resources, is on the top of the list of the causes. This means that the way of economic development is an important issue to any countries around the world. In another word, how to develop the economy or have a fast and sustainable development of the economy? This is clearly in alignment with UN’s mission on the delivery of sustainable development goals. What is the strategic instrument in achieving the mission? Owing to its dimensions and impact, China embracing innovation has positioned itself to provide fresh perspectives and strategic insights in economic development, which has been widely regarded as innovation for peace and harmony. It coincides with the United Nations’ mission on peace, dignity and equality in a healthy planet.

Profile of ELITE Innovation College Cambridge (EICC)
ELITE Innovation College Cambridge was born during the pandemic with a mission tolead and push innovation in education and development. ELITE carries impact and significant connotation. We are privileged to educate students from around the global village. ELITE is an acronym of E-Learning of Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship within an O2O innovation university in the global higher education. Almost all the universities and colleges are currently delivering courses online based upon the MOOC experiences since the outbreak of Covid-19. Our intention of establishment of ELITE O2O (online and offline) Innovative Education Platform is an exploration of an innovative education pedagogy of integrating the delivery of students learning experiences and education ethos with a global vision embedded in the teaching and learning strategy built into the technological system of O2O innovation university. Our commitment to excellence and innovation makes studying with ELITE Innovation College Cambridge a rewarding experience. Such a learning model demonstrates how various features and objectives of an innovative and entrepreneurial university be created, translated, articulated and achieved. The distinctiveness of this model lies in the unique design of delivery mode that is decided not only with the impact of the virus but also by the nature of knowledge, i.e. explicit knowledge is delivered online while tacit knowledge is transferred and transmitted through face-to-face.
Our college in many respects, is regarded as a globally-connected innovative and entrepreneurial university. With our forward-looking global vision, we are well positioned with strong features in the global higher education in the 21st century.
