00:00:02:27	00:00:04:10	>> First of all, we have to
00:00:04:10	00:00:05:25	develop an excitement
00:00:05:25	00:00:08:06	and opportunities for students
00:00:08:06	00:00:10:14	to experience global issues
00:00:10:14	00:00:12:10	and meeting and talking
00:00:12:10	00:00:13:26	to people from other countries.
00:00:13:26	00:00:15:04	That's really critical.
00:00:15:04	00:00:17:06	>> We live in global markets.
00:00:17:06	00:00:18:11	And we need to reach those
00:00:18:11	00:00:20:10	global markets and understand
00:00:20:10	00:00:21:25	cultures, understand needs,
00:00:21:25	00:00:24:05	necessities, risks.
00:00:24:05	00:00:26:01	>> From my perspective, I think
00:00:26:01	00:00:27:23	people just have to learn
00:00:27:23	00:00:29:20	that it's a global world,
00:00:29:20	00:00:31:14	it's a big marketplace.
00:00:31:14	00:00:32:20	>> Essentially, this is
00:00:32:20	00:00:34:02	a new world and it's a new day.
00:00:34:02	00:00:35:10	The way we did things in the
00:00:35:10	00:00:38:00	1900s and the 20th century,
00:00:38:00	00:00:39:10	we have to set those pieces
00:00:39:10	00:00:40:25	aside and realize that the world
00:00:40:25	00:00:42:16	is operating differently, that
00:00:42:16	00:00:44:29	it's completely intertwined.
00:00:44:29	00:00:46:04	>> Because that's what employers
00:00:46:04	00:00:47:06	are looking for,
00:00:47:06	00:00:48:13	they're looking for people who
00:00:48:13	00:00:49:19	can connect across cultures,
00:00:49:19	00:00:51:02	across country lines.
00:00:51:02	00:00:52:20	>> The concept of perspective,
00:00:52:20	00:00:53:27	and empathy, and other
00:00:53:27	00:00:55:16	points of view is central
00:00:55:16	00:00:57:21	to international education.
00:00:57:21	00:00:58:28	>> Once people develop
00:00:58:28	00:01:00:11	relationships with someone
00:01:00:11	00:01:01:14	from another culture, they
00:01:01:14	00:01:02:25	don't want to let go of that,
00:01:02:25	00:01:05:00	so then it grows in both places.
00:01:05:00	00:01:06:15	>> Changing attitudes, helping
00:01:06:15	00:01:08:12	students become compassionate
00:01:08:12	00:01:11:00	worldwide citizens.
00:01:11:00	00:01:12:08	>> They really, actually,
00:01:12:08	00:01:14:02	are changing who they are,
00:01:14:02	00:01:15:04	their perspectives
00:01:15:04	00:01:16:06	about the world.
00:01:16:06	00:01:17:10	They're learning to look at
00:01:17:10	00:01:19:02	things in a different way.
00:01:19:02	00:01:20:12	They think about their future
00:01:20:12	00:01:21:20	in a different way, I think,
00:01:21:20	00:01:22:23	when they understand what life
00:01:22:23	00:01:23:28	is like somewhere else.
00:01:23:28	00:01:24:29	>> This speaks--
00:01:24:29	00:01:26:07	All of these experiences
00:01:26:07	00:01:29:20	speak to the human element,
00:01:29:20	00:01:31:21	to the power of building
00:01:31:21	00:01:34:01	personal relationships,
00:01:34:01	00:01:36:19	and learning through people
00:01:36:19	00:01:38:19	and with people.
00:01:38:19	00:01:39:27	>> In today's world,
00:01:39:27	00:01:41:05	you can't just sit back
00:01:41:05	00:01:42:14	and know about things.
00:01:42:14	00:01:43:18	Parents want the best
00:01:43:18	00:01:44:24	for their children.
00:01:44:24	00:01:45:29	They want them to be able
00:01:45:29	00:01:47:05	to react, and respond, and
00:01:47:05	00:01:49:14	participate in a global society.
00:01:49:14	00:01:50:21	>> It's too important
00:01:50:21	00:01:51:26	for the future of the state
00:01:51:26	00:01:53:09	and for our children
00:01:53:09	00:01:54:21	to not be vested
00:01:54:21	00:01:56:18	in international education.
00:01:56:18	00:01:57:29	>> We all know that the problems
00:01:57:29	00:01:59:17	that we have in the world today
00:01:59:17	00:02:00:25	are not going to be solved
00:02:00:25	00:02:02:08	by any one nation.
00:02:02:08	00:02:03:16	>> I think we hear
00:02:03:16	00:02:05:04	and talk about global competency
00:02:05:04	00:02:06:08	all across
00:02:06:08	00:02:07:12	the state of Wisconsin.
00:02:07:12	00:02:08:18	>> We cannot be satisfied
00:02:08:18	00:02:10:08	with the status quo.
00:02:10:08	00:02:12:16	We cannot prepare students
00:02:12:16	00:02:14:12	for tomorrow with some
00:02:14:12	00:02:17:18	of the skills of yesterday.
00:02:17:18	00:02:19:02	We need new thinking.
00:02:19:02	00:02:20:20	We need renewal.
00:02:20:20	00:02:21:28	>> Ultimately, we can have
00:02:21:28	00:02:23:23	a world that's more peaceful,
00:02:23:23	00:02:26:01	that's more united, and one
00:02:26:01	00:02:28:28	that offers opportunities
00:02:28:28	00:02:31:14	for all people.
00:02:31:14	00:02:32:20	>> And if we as the leaders
00:02:32:20	00:02:33:26	in public education
00:02:33:26	00:02:35:19	can't be aware of the importance
00:02:35:19	00:02:37:06	of intercultural relations
00:02:37:06	00:02:38:22	and intercultural knowledge,
00:02:38:22	00:02:40:09	we will be failing our students
00:02:40:09	00:02:42:09	in serving them.
