Global Competence
Videos available for viewing free at http://www.usglobalcompetence.org/videos/index.html
Global competence is
essential for responsible engagement in the world. Global peace and prosperity
rest more than ever on mutual understanding and productive relationships among
all nations and cultures. Our videos showcase how Title VI and Fulbright-Hays programs
have contributed to a more positive image of Americans around the world and
benefited a spectrum of professions and people whose work and lives have been
enriched by foreign language skills and international knowledge. They
demonstrate why U.S. global competence is essential in our interconnected world
of the 21st century.

Engaging the World chronicles the
origins of HEA-Title VI and Fulbright-Hays programs 50 years ago, and
showcases beneficiaries who are using foreign language skills and
international knowledge in a variety of professions in ways that make a
difference in their work, their lives and the world. They demonstrate
the importance of global competence in a working world where diversity,
global engagement and competition are the norm. TRT: 16:29 |
A 21st Century
Imperative
makes the case that U.S. global competence in the 21st century is not a
luxury, but a necessity. Whether engaging the world, or our culturally
diverse homeland, the United States’ future success will rely on the global
competence of our people. Global competence must become part of the core
mission of education—from K-12 through graduate school. TRT: 08:00 |
