INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS

This is the new Microsoft logo.I will use this logo to demonstrate International Mindedness.


For a period of time, the world was viewed as simply as this. Each continent generally believed to be with like minded people who followed the same culture, traditions, beliefs and customs, within their own continent.

Americas Europe

Africa Asia


However, in reality, the real world is not like this due to various factors including migration, transportation and especially today, the internet.

Americas Europe

Africa Asia


So how does this spectrum represent International Mindedness?


So, if our world is really this…

And not this…

How can we then prevent…


THIS?


And instead, live more like this?


Through understanding that people of different

backgrounds have different views, and we

should examine why they have them.

Its about having empathy and not just knowledge of

other people.

This is what leads to understanding and respecting another point of view, without

necessarily accepting it:

KNOWING WHERE IT CAME FROM

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE?


The manipulation , misrepresentation, and misinterpretation of a nation, culture and religion might be the greatest intellectual and moral challenges students face as adults Julian Edwards

Secondary Principal of New International School of Thailand


So how do we overcome the challenge? International Mindedness does not just

‘happen’ It is nurtured, developed and grows

from within.


So how do we nurture and develop our International Mindedness so that it grows?

Learner Profiles

Learner Profiles are approaches to leading a good life, not just habits. Julian Edwards

Conclusion

We live in a global village, with people from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.

We need to rationalise what is true about the present, and mind in the sense of care enough for the future to dream up plausible alternatives and enact them.

Through our understanding of the Learner Profiles, can we truly understand and appreciate others, to become Internationally Minded people.
