From the SAGE 2007 World Cup Competition
It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom.
Before we give examples of winning ideas from the SAGE 2007 World Cup Competition, let us pause and reflect on Gandhi’s words.
There is not one, but two, lessons in those words.
First, we could and should learn from others, so reading about what winning SAGE teams have done is good.
Second, what winning SAGE teams have done is not necessarily going to help them win this year. Circumstances change and the best things of yesterday might well not be the best things for today. Question which you and your teammates should always ask is, “Can this activity be done better?” If your team answers “yes”, then it should not hesitate to do the activity better and share your improvement in SAGE competition this year.
For example, last year a SAGE team might have had an activity in which team members did much traveling by car. But now, with climate change looming like a fire-breathing dragon, traveling around by car is not a good idea. A SAGE team has to think whether the activity could be done using buses, bicycles, cellular telephones, the Internet or even walking shoes.
The following examples are excerpted from the annual reports submitted by SAGE teams at the 2007 World Cup Competition.
From the Nigerian SAGE Team
“Clean the World.” This project is the response to the challenges of keeping our school community clean and stopping air pollution arising from indiscriminate burning of wastes. Through this initiative we provided giant waste paper baskets for all classrooms in our school. Our SAGE team also constructed a refuse dumpsite for the dumping of refuse generated by our school community.
“Trees 4 Life.” The main activities of our Trees 4 Life campaign include planting trees by our SAGE team, carrying out environmental awareness campaign through the design of handbills containing messages like “Plant and Replant,” “Plant Indigenous Species 4 Life”, and carrying out tree-planting pledge action. Our tree-planting pledging target of 100,000 trees by the end of 2007 has been met with the promise of 60,000 trees from the local government councils and 40,000 trees from churches, mosques, private sector and rural communities across Nigeria.
“The World Is Ours.” Through this project we are creating a network of sister schools across the world and creating markets for our goods. Our team has exchanged correspondences with our 30 high schools and youth business organizations across the world. We are happy to inform you that our Tender Touch products and musical CDs are now available in Ghanaian and United Kingdom markets.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From the Chinese SAGE Team
“Environmental Protection.” First, we gave our cooperation to Roots & Shoots, a school environmental group. We campaigned for a series of “green” environmental projects:
to recycle waste paper,to recycle dead batteries,to recycle yellow pages.
And we handled a flea market every term, including this term. We collected and sold students’ unneeded possessions and profited from the margin price.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From One Russian SAGE Team
“Do Become a Journalist.” Aims: vocational guidance for the talented youth in the sphere of journalism, to perfect the editing of the school newspaper Boomerang. Our school has no common information center. Students and their parents would like to know school news and get detailed information. According to a student opinion poll, 96% of students are interested in a school newspaper.
Making the business plan: selection of the staff, searching for providers, developing the technology of production, the cost estimation of the project, the definition of capital investments, the calculation of cost price, setting the price.
Production activity: our school paper issued monthly in four pages, a circulation of about 100 copies; an issue is prepared by journalists, an editor, a proofreader, a financial manager, an issuing manager, and distributors.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From the American SAGE Team
“Social Entrepreneurship.” Bracelets. We continued to sell the imported Peruvian-style bracelets, a plan originated by IDEA, to have the townspeople of Cuchuma, Peru, make authentic woven bracelets. This has helped to create a thriving business within the town and enabled the townspeople to support themselves. We worked with the Peruvian government, Heifer International, and DeSales University SIFE to create and sustain the business for a second year.
Visiting Schools. We visited a local elementary school for the second year to create awareness about Team IDEA, Peru and Nicaragua. We arranged a time to meet with 4th graders and created a lesson plan as well as an assessment to test their new knowledge. We taught the students about the languages, cultures, and governments of Peru and Nicaragua, as well as about the Heifer Foundation.
“Environmental Stewards.” Greenhouses. With the help of Heifer and DeSales, we helped to provide greenhouses to families in the town of Cuchuma, Peru. The greenhouses grew food for many families by using the land and limiting the harmful gases released into the air.
Garden. We are creating a garden outside Hogar el Resposo in Nicaragua. Money raised from Powder Puff was donated to help the children create a garden to benefit the town. Other money was donated to help the orphanage itself.

From the Ukrainian SAGE Team
“TV Program ‘Business Class’.” The aim: to show advantages of creating one’s own business, consideration of world experience of business development, to study business technologies. Target audience: pupils, students, beginning businessmen.
Stages: brainstorming, program content, SWOT and STEP analysis, conducting business negotiations with TV management, professional consultations, shooting and installation, searching for companies to advertise, broadcasting.
The TV program consists of 5 sections:
the theory of business, business expertise, a piranha or 20 inconvenient questions to the known businessman, ideas of business, and business slang. Broadcasting on 3 TV channels 9 times a week, 20 minutes each time. Effectiveness: an all-round development of the person, creation of one’s own business in view of world tendencies and business technologies, understanding of principles of business social responsibility and observance of philosophy traditions, and the creation of an information field.

From the Brazilian SAGE Team
“Destino do Lixo.” Garbage disposal. Partners: Sepam School and the Environmental Protection Department of Ponta Grossa. Goals: comprehending the cycle of garbage disposal in town; visiting the city dump and considering the environmental impact; discussing the separation of types of garbage; developing an environmental conscience in youth; learning about the paper recycling process.
Implementation: exposing classes to the impact of garbage on the environment; differentiating between dump and biodegradable garbage; visiting the city’s dump; interviewing the garbage collectors at the dump; considering the impact upon the region around the dump; paper-recycling workshop.
“Plataforma Politica Sepam.” Sepam Political Platform. Goals: fortify democracy, stimulate youth participation in the electoral process, generate the voter of the future, encourage new political leaders.
Implementation: our project takes place every 2 years, during the electoral period; 16 to 17 year-old teenagers. Partners: Sepam School electoral Court of the Judicial District, Association of Industry and Business.
Two action methods: (1) stimulate the teenagers at this age to have their electoral license and attend a lecture with the judge of the electoral court of the judicial district; (2) generate opinion by conducting debates among people running for mayor, councilman, state and federal deputies with an electoral base in the city. The adolescents make their choice based on the political platform of the candidate.
Results: 520 students obtained their electoral license when they turned sixteen; 3 lectures from electoral judges; 12 debates with candidates; commercials on TV, on radio and in newspapers.

From the South Korean SAGE Team
“World Youth Environmental Forum and Vermont Common Assets Trusts.” Description: To encourage global cooperation in addressing the environmental crisis, and to bring about planetary change. SAGE-KMLA established a global environmental network through on-line communications, and the members have recently participated in an off-line activity.
1. SAGE-KMLA recruited young people around the world through on-line communications. 14 students from South Korea, China, India, Indonesia, Honduras, and the United States become the first members o the network “World Youth Environment Forum”.2. All the members gathered at the University of Vermont and worked on the Bill of Vermont Common Assets Trust, which tries to levy tax on air pollution by citizens. The members suggested several methods of collecting pollution fees from citizens, which included home-networking technology installed in automobiles and toll gateways.3. The members presented their projects to Vermont State Senator Mr. Sanders and professors of the University of Vermont.
“Meeting U. S. Ambassador Mr. Vershbow.” Description: SAGE-KMLA invited U. S. ambassador Vershbow to KMLA. Although he had a tight schedule due to the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Korea and the U. S. and the nuclear crisis of North Korea, Vershbow visited KMLA with delight. He gave a lecture on leadership, and students raised many issues, including FTA and the Kyoto Protocol, during a question period.

From the Philippines SAGE Team
“Growth is evolution towards perfection.” TARP, Inc., has consistently evolved, maturing to become a leader of the Philippines bag industry. Our elemental focus on bringing a rewarding business opportunity for locals, innovative products, and acting as an uplifting force for good culture to more people throughout the Philippines has nurtured this growth. Looking forward, we will continue to enlarge our global footprint, while introducing new products to capitalize on our strengths and expand our capabilities and our horizons.
“2007 Milestones.” We believe our social consciousness, translated into providing employment to the unemployed, has become an investment in human capital. This focus on long-term success on human resources has played a pivotal role in this official recognition. We expect that our labor partners would help lead the company in renewed revenue growth for the entirety of the year in 2008.
“Training the Common Folk in Entrepreneurship.” Our company values underscore our corporate culture and represent one of the reasons that TARP, Inc., is able to attract highly motivated craftsmen devoted to their craft. Consistent with this Transforming Difference orientation, our Entrepreneurship for Everyone Initiative has been a significant success. In just three months of operation, Entrepreneurship for Everyone has provided more than 40 new jobs to different people by broadening the horizons and braving the impossible.

为什么要参与赛智？
一．中学：
实际意义上实施素质教育，培养学生学习能力、实践能力、创新能力等方面21世纪有竞争力人才的必备素质。社区实践将与学校课堂教育紧密结合，与之相辅相成，起到改进学校传统教育模式的作用。
高中生们在老师和大学生辅导员的指导下，策划、实施、评估创新的商业类、社区性项目，并在每年4-5月进行比赛，评比出最佳团队，代表国家参加世界比赛。从具体方面来讲，中学和中学生可以从以下方面受益：
2. Oakland Tech High School and PFLS SAGE Team (Pudong foreign language school)

- 提高学生综合素质（如创新能力、交流能力、团队合作能力）
- 促进与赛智姐妹学校的交流结成姐妹学校的有：
2. Oakland Tech High School and PFLS SAGE Team (Pudong foreign language school)
- 全面与大学、社区、企业互动
- 参加全国赛智选拔赛
- 有机会参与国际大赛、促进国际文化、学术交流
二．大学：
大学生将在以启发梦想的创业教育为责任的赛智中得到能力的锻炼和社会责任心的培养。同时，在帮助高中生实现项目评定的过程中与我们的BAB（Business Advisory Board 商业资询委员）交流互动，在实践中了解各领域（风险投资、外贸、物流管理中的‘Problem Solving 和 Know-how）。同时教会大学生在创业过程中需要做有社会责任感的决策,为未来培养更多的CSR（Corperate Social Responsibility）
大学作为带动中学进行创业教育，起到参与、组织、协调的作用。大学生们通过专业知识学习具有良好的知识背景，在团队建设和运营上有较丰富的经验，是担当传播创新知识和理念的绝佳人选。特别是学习商业、经济、管理、语言、表演、计算机的大学生对赛智团队的帮助非常明显。
大学生参与赛智可以从以下方面获益：
- 锻炼大学生实践能力
- 促进与各界精英的交流
- 实现大学生社会价值
- 作为大学社团的可持续性实践项目
- 提高大学在全国高中生中的知名度、扩大生源提高各界对大学的评价
- 角逐年度“赛智最佳大学生辅导员”奖
三．企业和机构：
企业是赛智项目中不可或缺的组成部分。他们有些直接参与到高中团队的指导工作中，有些参与主办机构举办的互动讨论，有些则作为评委参与到全国选拔赛获国际比赛中。企业更是在经济上和精神上给予赛智这个非营利性项目极大的支持，以使中学团队能完成创新项目并且参与全国选拔赛，以及赴海外参加国际赛智大赛。企业参与赛智可以从以下各方面获益：
- 参与帮助青少年成长，提高企业公众形象
- 提高企业知名度（在全国选拔赛/国际比赛中推广企业）
- 赴全球赛参加主办方的商业讨论，与国外企业建立良好关系
- 直接参与培养商界未来优秀人才（成为学生团队的顾问）
- 成为SAGE Judge/Sponsor/Ambassador/Consultant
什么是赛智?
赛智为国际非营利性组织SAGE（Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship）的中文译名。取其 比竞智慧之意。
赛智为高中生、大学生、社会各界成功人士提供交流互动的平台，通过在创业教育和社区服务的合作中，共同为创造更美好的社会而做出贡献。该项目是面向高中生的创新教育的实践项目，由美国加州州立大学发起，现在已经发展为全球具有广泛参与性的项目。
Our Mission：高中生通过创业学习和社区服务，成为有商业实践意识、有社会责任感、主人翁精神和环保意识的人才。
赛智鼓励高中生走出课堂、走进社区，寻找问题、分析问题、解决问题，为改善社区贡献自己的力量。赛智为高中生展示才能创造了契机，搭建了舞台，学生们通过学习、实践、展示，成为有综合素质的人才。赛智有了高中生、大学生或社会各界的参与，发展更迅速更壮大。而每个赛智参与者，无论是高中生、大学生或社会各界（无论是政府、企业或者非营利组织）的精英也能通过亲身参与而获益。
随着中国经济的发展，我们希望更多的青少年能够担负起未来建设的重任。
SAGE China Host:
SAGE China为中国地区比赛的主办方，我们也真诚地希望有更多的志同道合者一起来推进中国青少年的发展。如您希望参加比赛或支持观摩请联系我。
考虑到学期的周期，赛智中国比赛一般在4-5月举行，决出代表中国的参赛队参加在全球巡回SAGE World Cup，如2008年SAGE China 决赛于5月31日在复旦大学正大发展中心举行。今年的World Cup 在尼日利亚首都阿布贾举行。
Welcome to the SAGE network!

高中如何开展赛智(SAGE)活动？
结合您的问题和我自身的经验（由于我本身也曾经参加SAGE比赛），仅供参考：
1． 请学校负责学生活动的老师推选有兴趣有能力的同学组成SAGE团队。（团队队长1人，骨干力量5-6人，队员数量根据所进行的项目灵活安排。）在此过程中，可以采取由老师推荐学生，或学生自己报名，两种方式相结合。
2． 给团队配置好必须的硬软件资源。 硬件资源指照相机、摄像机、电脑等（活动过程需要记录下来，以便在比赛陈述过程中，用作声像资料，团队中应有同学负责这项工作）。
软件资源指的是具有专业知识的指导者，可以是大学生、老师或社会人士，给团队的活动提供引导和指导。（可以利用所能取得的任何有用的社会资源鼓励学生带着相关的问题去找专业人士）
3． 集体学习研究SAGE的宗旨和项目标准以及以往各个国家比赛中的项目。（这项工作可以在指导老师或大学生辅导员的指导下进行。）
4． 根据所了解的SAGE信息，让队员策划项目方案。先可以采取"大脑风暴"的方式想出尽可能多的方案。（可以分组进行，每个小组给出一个项目方案，给定时间，如两天，之后让他们集中起来，汇报方案。）团队可以初步筛选出可行的好方案，然后请指导者(可以是大学生辅导员或咨询委员会)帮助确定要实施的项目。
5． 开始实施项目，并定期做小结和调整（如每两个星期一次）。
6． 在比赛前三周左右时间，总结项目，挑选项目并整理资料（书面、声像）。总结能力强、英语写作好的同学负责写陈述稿，有电脑特长的同学负责做PPT演示幻灯片。最终完成一个15分钟的英语口头陈述和4页A4大小的书面报告。
7． 临近比赛，后期准备工作（服装、书面报告、道具等），并邀请指导者观摩彩排，提出建议。
注意：SAGE是以学生为主体、老师或指导者为辅助的以培养学生学习能力、创新能力和实践能力的活动。在此过程中值得向学生强调的是在过程中收获的意识和社会责任感。
同时也可以采取阶段性的目标激励的方法。

The SAGE staff (Rob Best, Gen Rose, Liz Wendorf, David Wurlitzer, Lauren Bronson, and me) have had an extremely enlightening and rewarding experience in Abuja, Nigeria.
We thank the SAGE Nigeria staff for introducing about 140 students and teachers to Nigerian culture and hospitality. We will be updating our website with photos and a summary in the next couple weeks.
Thanks to all of you for supporting SAGE!
