和丹：我想為浙江與非洲的相互了解做點事

“超級丹”的浙江足跡

和丹來自索馬里，是浙江師范大學的一位老師。

用和丹自己的話來說，她“從小就一直向往（）來到中國”。結(jié)果真的來了，并且一待就是13年。這13年和丹收獲頗豐：2006年來到金華，在浙江師范大學攻讀本科學位、漢語國際教育碩士學位;2010年8月獲CCTV“漢語橋”大賽銀獎;2016年6月獲浙江大學傳播學博士學位;2016年9月受聘到浙江師范大學非洲研究院工作，承擔教學、科研任務及非洲博物館的日常管理及文物考證工作;2017年正式受聘為索馬里總統(tǒng)顧問，向總統(tǒng)及其辦公室就索馬里國家發(fā)展、中國與索馬里兩國相關領域合作提供政策咨詢和信息參考。

和丹博士通索馬里語、阿拉伯語、漢語、英語，并能熟練運用這四種語言進行學術研究與寫作。她曾在耶魯大學及中國香港浸會大學、浙江大學以及南京大學等國內(nèi)外高校參加學術會議并發(fā)表會議論文，并在《當代電影》《當代傳播》《中國傳媒報告》以及Asian Journal of Comparative Politics等中外學術期刊發(fā)表學術論文多篇。她還聯(lián)合執(zhí)導了6集紀錄片《我從非洲來》，與張勇博士聯(lián)合執(zhí)導《非洲人在義烏》紀錄片。

Ta眼里的浙江

和丹踏足過亞非歐美，也去過中國許多城市，她說，與浙江的情誼最深。

和丹喜歡浙江的山水相連、四季分明，“每次開春，綠油油的柳絲、盛開的花，都讓我欣喜。”

她佩服浙江人溫文爾雅、敢為人先，“浙江人吃苦耐勞，工作不停歇，一步一個腳印干出來。”

2018年8月，中國國家主席習近平會見索馬里總統(tǒng)穆罕默德，和丹作為總統(tǒng)顧問陪同參加會見。

以中非關系和非洲發(fā)展為研究專業(yè)，加上13年的中國生活經(jīng)歷，讓和丹成為名副其實的“中國通”，所以對于浙江的變化她很有發(fā)言權。

她眼里的浙江發(fā)展飛速——火車越來越快了，高鐵風馳電掣，千里京杭一日還;生活越來越便利了，從家去影院只需步行幾分鐘;美麗鄉(xiāng)村的浪漫氣息，保留著鄉(xiāng)土韻味;拔地而起的高樓，見證著“浙江速度”……

和丹的同事、來自尼日利亞的李坤對浙江之變也深有體會：“G20杭州峰會讓世界知道了浙江，我的非洲朋友們都想來浙江逛逛。”

和丹的心愿是“為促進中國和非洲的相互了解、相互信任、共同發(fā)展做一些力所能及的事。”
