International-mindedness for me is to let oneself see the complexity of inter-relatedness of the different culture around the world and be connected to it in assuming a sense of commitment and responsibility to take a dynamic  role of creating a positive impact.

I am a teacher from the Philippines and is now teaching for almost ten years here in Indonesia and I have witnessed similar environmental issues which is happening here and in my country – Deforestation, illegal logging and poaching leading to a near extinction of endemic organisms, like the Sumatran tiger, Orangutan “Red Ape” and Javan Rhinoceros.

By making our students  understand and connect their learning and experience from these local issues and instilling in them a role of being a vital global citizen  to the greater human condition with a sense of accountability with the environment.

Awareness, compassion and responsibility will give them more reasons and motivation to create a positive impact.

I have conducted a tie up activity with a school in India - Lucky International School on one of the related topics in Ecology – Fishing Industry in Indonesia, with a group of students from their school and ours we exchanged investigative results thru live online video presentation.

It was a great learning experience for our students to get engaged in a collaborative  discussion with students from outside the country the degrading conditions of the marine life affecting most regions like India and Indonesia.

This served also an awareness of a need for a concerted efforts from the young students of both schools to play an active role in the international society in their time at the future.

By integrating values to build  awareness on the condition and perseverance of the less fortunate students from other economically deprived countries on their limited academic resources and letting my students empathize on this, realizing  what they are enjoying as a privilege to help them maximize their learning experience.

These motivate them to  strive harder during the learning process in the classroom and take this to a higher level of giving back to the international community to be their end goal of success.
