致2050自愿者

尊敬的2050自愿者,

在2050@2018和2050@2019,有来自世界各地超过292个城市的自愿者,用年青人的方式讨论世界的未来和面临的巨大挑战我和所有人一样,对即将来到的2050@2020充满期待。

新冠肺炎(COVID-19)在全球的蔓延影响了几乎我们每一个人。2020年3月11日,世界卫生组织宣布COVID-19构成全球突发公共卫生事件,人类历史上从未见过一种疫情在全球范围如此快速传播,并危及我们的生命,这是人类面临的共同挑战。

在今天全球疫情面前, 更凸显了年青人对未来担当的宝贵。过去一年,为了2050@2020,共有来自全球60多个城市的700多位自愿者参加了在2050营地的恳谈会,每月一次,非诚勿扰,不见不散,更有超过300位自愿者还在营地彻夜畅谈,只为更多的年青人能更好地相聚在2050。同样,“候鸟计划“的自愿者帮助连接了来自全球60多个城市遍布6大洲的将近200多位年青人,努力让年青人见上另一个年青人,为未来创造无数想象!

但是,今天全球的疫情使得2050@2020将无法按期进行,将与2050@2021合并成2050@2020&2021,在2021年4月如期进行。这是一个我极不愿意相信却不得不承认的现实,2050恳谈会何时开始也将在疫情结束后通知大家。

已经在2050.org.cn网站注册的活动,均默认会平移至2050@2020&2021。我们也联系了所有已购买了2050 PASS的自愿者,让我非常感动的是所有人都选择了将PASS平移至2050@2020&2021。谢谢大家,衷心感谢来自世界各个角落所有自愿者的努力。从2019年新年开始永不停止的2050倒计时催促着我们早日团聚!

年青人是不一样的,他们来自世界不同的地方,说着不同的语言,热爱不同的科学和技术,怀揣不同的梦想。年青人是一样的,他们都是没有伞的孩子,他们喜欢在雨中奔跑。

期待在2050@2020&2021再见,相信未来不再会因为疫情而阻断我们的团聚!

Dear 2050 Volunteers,
 
At 2050@2018 and 2050@2019, volunteers from more than 292 cities around the world got together to share their view on the future of our world and the grand challenges ahead in the way of young minds. Just like everyone of you, I am very much looking forward to the upcoming 2050@2020.
 
However, the global spreading of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been affected almost every one of us. On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the COVID-19 constituted a global public health emergency. Throughout human history, we have never seen any pandemic that spreads so rapidly around the world and endangers our lives. This is the challenge faced by all humanity.
 
In the face of such a global pandemic, the preciousness of young people ’s responsibility for the future has become even more prominent. In the past year, over 700 volunteers from more than 60 cities around the world participated in the monthly meetups at 2050 camp for the preparation of 2050@2020 only. More than 300 of them chatted through the night at the camp. This is a sincere effort to make 2050@2020 a better time for young people to meet each other. Also, volunteers of the Migratory Bird Program have helped connect nearly 200 young people in more than 60 cities from six continents, striving to make young minds meet and create countless imaginations for the future.
 
Unfortunately, today’s pandemic has prevented 2050@2020 from proceeding on schedule. Instead, 2050@2020 will be merged with 2050@2021 into 2050@2020&2021 and will proceed in April 2021. This is a reality that I am very unwilling to believe but have to admit. Once the pandemic ends, we will inform all of you about the arrangement of the monthly meetups at 2050 camp.
 
Activities that have been registered on 2050.org website will be moved to 2050@2020&2021 by default. We have also contacted with all volunteers who have purchased 2050 PASS. I am very touched that all of them have chosen moving the registered PASS to 2050@2020&2021. THANK YOU! I greatly appreciate all the efforts from all the volunteers around every part of the world. Every tick of 2050 countdown started from the new year of 2019 urges us to come together again soon!
 
Young people are all different. They come from different parts of the world, speak different languages, embrace different technologies, and have different dreams. Young people are also the same. They are all like children who don’t have umbrellas but like to run in the rain.
 
I look forward to seeing you at 2050@2020&2021, and believe that there won’t be such a pandemic in the future that prevents us from meeting with each other!
