China News Service, Shanghai, September 24 (Reporter Li Shuzheng) The 48th World Skills Competition was held in Shanghai on the 24th. In interviews with reporters from China News Service, many participating guests said that there will be winners and losers in the competition, but win-win results can also be achieved in addition to medals.
“Athletes face many people watching during the competition, which is an experience they don’t usually have when working in a factory.Shaun Thorson, CEO of the Canadian Skills Association, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that young people who are skilled at workstations have to bear an extra weight when they stand in the spotlight.
He believes that this pressure is not a bad thing.High-intensity competition will force players to examine details, face mistakes, and temper the valuable resilience of workers.Competition has its own value: competing skills, stimulating potential, and pushing people's abilities to higher levels.
Bernd Loschnig, coordinator of the 2027 European Skills Competition in Dusseldorf, believes that the pace of skill iteration is getting faster and faster, and the mission of vocational education is to enable more young people to keep up with the times, rather than to select a few winners.“We don’t need one side to win over the other, we need everyone to benefit together.”
“The world is falling into divisions and contradictions, but young people can come together, work together, and achieve great results.Mariana Contreras Leal, the official observer of the competition, said that contestants from all countries are ultimately a group of peers who love crafts. "They will realize that everyone is working hard for a career they love, polishing skills and studying skills. It is this love that brings everyone together."”
Auke Heins, marketing and communication manager of the Dutch Skills Foundation, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that the competition is not just about winning, but more importantly, learning from each other.
Oke Hines believes that some people make up for their shortcomings in competition, some make friends from foreign countries during exchanges, and some experience a different culture through this experience.In various exhibition areas outside the competition venue, companies and educational institutions display technologies and concepts, creating a platform for all parties to learn from each other.“The exchange of skills not only occurs between players, but also global vocational education experiences are exchanged here.It's a win-win.”
In addition to medals, what is "winning"?Guests at the meeting believed that it can be a breakthrough in skills, the growth of resilience, acquaintances across national borders, or learning from each other and moving forward together.
