Internationalization -- From awareness to promotion | Jeff Cooper | TEDxSelkirkCollege

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Jeff has experienced both sides of internationalization. He's been on the 'other' side, abroad, and now works as a manager of international education teachers and tries to make his College a welcoming place where rich interchanges take place. Watch this entertaining actor's story about understandings and misunderstandings.

Finding himself terrified and shoe-less after climbing to the top of a palm tree in Fiji on his first trip abroad, Jeff has been crossing literal and figurative political and cultural borders ever since. Now rooted in the Kootenays for over a decade, he continues to foster understanding and promote internationalization along with a dedicated and caring group of colleagues in the International Department at College of the Rockies.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
