美国密歇根州马克姆郡文化与经济合作中心(MCEP)是一个致力于促进当地官员，企业，学校和社区领导们了解世界经济发展和国际合作相关需求的非政府组织。MCEP每年带领许多想要了解中国的本地官员，企业家和学生到中国考察访问，实地了解中国的现状，中国的机遇和挑战，以及中国的日常生活。同时，MCEP每年通过上海马克姆教育科技有限公司邀请并招待许多中国来访的政府代表，工商代表，学术代表，以及大学和高中学生团体，了解美国的社会制度和风土人情。通过这些参观访问与交流合作，MCEP使中美双方都能扩展环球视野，促进经济文化与教育效益。

MCEP汇聚了通晓中美经济政治文化的国际专业人士。MCEP团队中有美国现任政府官员和党派领袖、前密歇根州议员、原联合国国际贸易中心服务贸易专员、大学在职教授等专业人士。因此，MCEP在美国方面能够较为容易的获得很多政府和公共机构的大力支持，从而为中方来美人员提供更全面、更深入了解美国政府和公共机构，熟悉美国的社会制度的机会。同时，MCEP与中国各大高校的紧密联系也使中国有更多学生能够在寒暑假期间亲自到美国学习和参与社会实践活动，大大开拓了中国学生的国际视野和对美国的深入了解。

MCEP至今为止，已经为数以千计的中美人士提供服务。我们期待和大家一起，进一步促进中美的互相了解和伙伴友谊。

Macomb Cultural and Economic Partnership (MCEP) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding opportunity by building international relationships, cultural appreciation, and practical knowledge.

We want to help Americans better understand the People’s Republic of China, the challenges it faces, and the realities of everyday life in China. And we want to help the Chinese better understand those same realities of life in America.

For Americans, we do this by encouraging people to visit, study, and do business in China – helping Macomb transform into a major player in the global economy. For China, we do this by creating opportunities for Chinese citizens to visit America and see more than just the famous postcard sites of New York and Washington, DC; we want them to also experience a home stay in the heartland of the United States, see how an American company really operates, and have the chance to meet with ordinary Americans.

We want people in both countries to experience life as it’s lived, and appreciate the commonalities we all share.
