• W263463004 abstract "IN SOME WAYS, the different parts of the world have never been as connected as they are now. On the Internet, you can view foreign newspapers, government policy statements, and educational websites, and exchange messages with people in a surprisingly large number of countries of the world. CNN and other TV networks offer on-the-spot reports of dramatic events on any continent as they take place. If you have the fight satellite connections and a short wave radio, you can tap into local TV and radio broadcasts around the globe. Does all this mean that we are becoming better informed about the world? While opportunities to get information have increased, the kind of information that flows is often superficial. Worse, there is the possibility that people may think that using the Internet and having access to foreign media are substitutes for the most important dimension of knowledge about another culture, that of personal contact and experience. Educational travel to other countries (as opposed to quick touristic visits) is still limited to only a small proportion of students, but it is unrivaled as a way for young people to get personal experience of other cultures. In October 1995, several students at Miami's William H. Turner Technical Arts High School, where I was a teacher, were fortunate enough to participate in a three-week student exchange program between Russia and the United States. The exchange involved ten American schools from Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, and New Jersey that were paired with ten Russian global schools located in Barnaul, Cheboksary, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Ryazan, Sochi, St. Petersburg, and Volsky. The trip was a remarkable experience for all of us. As we returned, I asked myself whether it would also turn into a major learning experience for the students, or whether it would eventually become only a distant, if pleasant, memory. Would the students carry into their later lives a better understanding of Russia that would affect their view of U.S. Russian relations? At the time, I recorded the impressions the students had of their trip. About five years later, I interviewed the students again to gauge the longer-term effects of their trip. Its impact remained very powerful, leaving me with no doubt that travel results in a greater acceptance of other cultures. Discovering Cheboksary The primary purpose of the exchange was to promote cross-cultural understanding among the people of Russia and the United States. The intention was (1) to bring students from both nations into direct contact and (2) to enable Russian and American educators to work together on designing school curricula that prepare students to live in a world of cultural diversity and interdependence. The combined Russian and American teams of students from paired schools were assigned the task of developing a joint project based on the theme, Preparing Citizens to Live with Cultural Diversity in an Interdependent World, to be presented in Washington, D.C., in May 1996 at a reunion meeting for all participants. The US/Russian Student Exchange Program was a result of the Russian Global Schools Initiative sponsored jointly by the Russian Ministry of Education and the American Forum for Global Education, and funded by the United States Information Agency. The program evolved from a series of invitational international conferences held in Miami, USA, and Sochi, Russia, in 1991, leading to the decision by Eduard Dneprov, then Russia's Minister of Education, to implement global education as the primary methodology to democratize Russian schools. Dneprov believed that an insularity of outlook among the Russian people could pose a threat to the future of Russian democracy, and judged that by exposing young Russians to the economies, cultures, and political systems of the outside world, schools could help to sustain democracy at home.
