Photos from Abroad, Photos from “Home”A Look Inside the Photo Contests Sponsored by CDS International

In This Issue

Entries for the 2008 My America and Beyond My America photo contests and ABROADcast video contest are in! As we

begin our evaluations, we wanted to give you one last look at the winners from the previous year’s contests.

Nestor Lacle was the 1st place winner in the My America photo contest. His photo essay Old Glory expressed his experiences in America through varying portrayals of the US flag. Sven Licht took 2nd place with his essay America, My Way, and Lisa Galinski rounded out the top three with her collection titled New York – My Most Colorful City. Jessica Hart won 1st place in the Beyond My America photo contest with her essay Emma-Ihrer-Strasse 8. Congratulations to them all!

The annual photo contests challenge CDS par-ticipants to look beyond the stereotypes of their host countries by creatively expressing their im-pressions of their new home’s culture and people through photography. The beauty and the scope of each entry makes these contests one of our most successful intercultural initiatives.

A Cause to Celebrate

CDS International celebrated its 40th anniversary this November with a house warming party in its new Park Avenue

South office. Over 100 prominent supporters of the organization attended the celebration, including board members, current and former staff, representatives from host companies, and alumni in the New York City area. Guests spent the evening reliving fond memories of their ex-periences abroad and recognizing those who so graciously assisted CDS achieve 40 years of success.

International chemical and health care com-pany Bayer AG was honored during the evening for its longstanding support of CDS. In addition to providing CDS with its initial office space at the time of the organization’s founding in 1968,

Bayer has also contributed over $4 million throughout the course of CDS’s history to help promote cross-cultural understanding and pro-fessional development. CDS Executive Director Rob Fenstermacher and Chairman of the Board Karl Geercken presented Rebecca Lucore, Executive Director of the Bayer USA Foundation, an award in appreciation of Bayer’s generosity.

Also in attendance were Consul General of Germany Dr. Horst Freitag, former Chairman of the Board Gerd Mueller, former President Peter Ruof, and former Executive Director Wolfgang Linz and his wife, former Senior Program Officer Ute Schott. For 23 years, Mr. Linz served as Executive Director of CDS, building key part-nerships with organizations such as the Robert

My six-year-old son Alex has a hard time conceptual-

izing a world without cell phones. For him, they have

always been there, just as his favorite climbing tree has

always been down the street. This came up recently when I tempo-

rarily misplaced my cell phone forcing my wife and me to resort to

20th century scheduling techniques. To pick a time and location to

meet can be tough enough with a cell phone, but without one re-

quired that we narrow our rendezvous down to an exact minute and

street corner. I thought I had the old tactics down until I found myself

on the wrong side of the street. Alex just couldn’t figure out why

daddy was late. I couldn’t believe how thoroughly technology had

encroached into our lives.

As a student whose worldviews were shaped by international travel

in the 80’s and 90’s, I was privileged to witness the shift in communica-

tion across different cultures firsthand. More significantly, I saw these

advancements become increasingly integrated into both our personal

and professional lives. CDS International’s young and savvy staff not

only grew up as these changes were taking place, but also learned to

adopt and adapt to them instinctively. They understand what works

and what doesn’t and are able to creatively apply new technologies

to all facets of our work. Whether conducting video conference calls,

answering questions posted in Facebook groups, or communicating

information through our online application system, we, as a team, have

Nearly 100 participants submitted an entry for the chance to win prizes that included a travel voucher from STA travel, a digital camera, and an iPod. From this group, finalists were selected according to an objective score that took into ac-count aesthetic appeal, thematic strength based on a 100-word essay, and the overall impression of the essay. Professionals from the international and artistic communities then selected the overall winners.

Graciously agreeing to judge the contest were Jason Yarashes of the National Council for International Visitors, Cari Guittard of Business for Diplomatic Action, Christopher Kojm from the 9/11 Commission, and Pauline Shapiro from Sotheby’s.

The My America photo contest offers partici-pants living in the United States on the J-1 Visa

the chance to explore the varied facets of life in America. Participants explored a variety of themes in their photos that ranged from life on the road as they criss-crossed the country, to the exploration of the inner-cities’ depths and the surprisingly “inhomogeneous” lives of U.S. citi-zens. First place winner Nestor Lacle focused on one of the United State’s greatest symbols — her flag.

“The flag represents both good and bad things,” stated Nestor. “It’s so interwoven through every aspect of life; you can’t go anywhere without see-ing it. There’s a photo with a U.S. flag in the rub-bish bin and the people around me were at first disapproving, saying you should bury it. But then a boy scout told us that the proper thing is to actu-ally burn it.” This picture makes as strong of an im-pression on the viewer as it did the photographer.

The Beyond My America photo contest gave participants in Argentina, Germany, Russia, and

Spain the same opportunity to express their im-pressions of a foreign land. First place winner Jessica Hart was interning with esteemed Munich photographer Elias Hassos when he first facili-tated her contact with a nearby refugee camp, the topic of her essay. Hart was surprised to find such a place in Munich and was even more surprised to learn that few of her German friends knew anything about the center.

“It didn’t mold my idea of what Germany is, but it’s another side of Germany that isn’t often talked about, that many Germans didn’t even know ex-isted. I really wanted to let people know what was going on, and that kind of became the whole goal of the essay.”

Her favorite photo was that of six year old Dalia. With only Dalia occupying the frame, her elbows jutting out at a 90-degree angle, Hart ex-plains that “she carries herself like a grown wom-an. She has this expression that’s very seriouss, like the grown woman she’s had to become.”

The entries from these contests reinforce our belief that international experiences lead to new persepctives and better understandings of other cultures. Though the 2008 deadline has passed, we are already preparing for the 2009 contests. In addition to the photo contests, we will also be featuring a new video contest, aptly ti-tled ABROADcast. Get out that camera and start showing us the life abroad you lead! Details on the 2009 contest will be available on our website this spring. Looking for inspiration? Take this tip from 2nd place My America winner Sven Licht. “Do something new and don’t try to think of what other people will like. Go and see the real America.”

fully incorporated Web 2.0 into our work at CDS. These tools have not

only helped us create an international, professional network designed

to improve participants’ experiences abroad, but has also streamlined

the processes needed to get them there.

As CDS continues to improve its workflow, each CDS stakeholder

benefits from improved communication and services thus enabling us

to more effectively fulfill our mission. This issue of CDSsence recogniz-

es the impact new technologies have had on our organization as well

as the role they have played in shaping a more personalized dialogue

within our international network. This issue also pays tribute to how far

we, as an organization, have come in 40 years thanks to the dedication

and vision of our staff, partners, and leaders such as former Executive

Director Wolfgang Linz who served CDS tirelessly and with enormous

commitment for 23 years and continues to do so as a Board Member.

With our first 40 years behind us and many more successful years

ahead, it is clear that we have only begun to unlock the potential of the

new technologies available to enhance our ability to realize CDS’s mis-

sion. Our staff constantly searches for new areas of expansion, but the

magic behind Web 2.0 is the incredible sociability it allows, so now we

want to hear from you! I encourage you to get on your BlackBerries,

iPhones, and email to connect with us on our Facebook, Twitter, and

LinkedIn groups. We want to hear your stories and ideas of how we can

continue to increase our international outreach. Please also be sure to

visit our newly relaunched website to learn more about CDS’s current

initiatives. We are excited to connect with you on whatever platform,

application, or mode of communication you prefer but please know

that if all else fails, you can try me on that standby of technology, my

cell phone. I don’t think Alex will let me misplace it again.

Bosch Stiftung and establishing core pro-grams such as the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals. Together with his wife Ms. Schott, who was instrumen-tal in creating the Professional Development Program for international students entering the United States on the J-1 visa, the couple primed CDS for growth and continued success.

“CDS has come a long way since when we first started our operations 40 years ago. We’ve grown from 3 to 35 people,” said Wolfgang about CDS’s progress. “We have an outstanding, professional, dedicated, and internationally-minded staff that doesn’t view its service as a job, and for me it wasn’t like

that either. It’s really a mission for the staff to help expose as many young people as possible to international culture and diversity, to make them more tolerant and considerate to people of other cultures — and this is what we need now, more than ever before.”

In recognition of this mission, the evening also featured an exhibit of CDS’s My America and Beyond My America contest photos. Over 50 vivid pictures taken by CDS participants while abroad were on display. Framed versions of the photos were available for purchase with all proceeds benefitting the CDS International Scholarship Fund.

“This is just another extension of the good work done by CDS,” 2000-2001 CBYX alum-na Rebecca Smetana said of the photo ben-efit. “The photos remind you of wonderful

experiences and are amazing examples in themselves. Living abroad changed my life and career, literally.” Smetana interned at Daimler-Chrysler during her program year in Germany and used this network of contacts to find a job at Mercedes-Benz upon returning to the United States.

The evening concluded with a toast to all those who were instrumental in helping CDS grow. Chairman of the Board Karl Geercken remarked, “It’s been a wonderful evening and there’s a very festive spirit here tonight. You can feel how dedicated the staff is and that we’re in very good hands for the next 40 years to come!” Nearly $1,500 was raised for the CDS International Scholarship Fund through picture sales.

Particpant Footprints: The German Job Search

Pete Heiss had a contract of employ-ment before he boarded his plane to Germany on the Congress-Bundestag

Youth Exchange for Young Professionals last summer. The American CBYX alum (’07-’08) experienced few of the traditional job-search worries. What kind of paper should the resume be printed on? How should the cover letter’s introduction be formatted? Pete simply posted his resume online. Within weeks he received a call-back. The German company he would be working for, optimise-it GmbH, had searched an online database for his particular skill set and found him immediately. If only it had always been this easy!

American CBYX alum (’93-’94) Andrew Dowd remembers finding his program internship by pure luck. “Basically, I found it by picking compa-nies like IBM and Siemens, and writing blindly to their HR officers and offices. I wasn’t using the internet and I don’t remember how I got their ad-dresses. Maybe CDS provided them to me.” We

es, there are also significant, potential draw-backs that could unintentionally sabotage the international experience. Andrew warns against constant online chat with friends back home for fear that a reliance on people back home could water down the abroad experience, not to men-tion fluency in a new language. Instead, focus should be on meeting new friends and exploring the host country’s rich cultural traditions.

As a sign of generational differences, Pete considers the social networking site Facebook as one of his favorite websites, emphasizing that the ease with which he was able to com-municate with friends back home made it much easier to adapt to life in Germany.

What both Pete and Andrew can agree on, however, is that nothing can compare to the awe-inspiring, distinctive experience of living on foreign soil. “Americans have access to dif-ferent viewpoints but fail to really experience other cultures,” Andrew says. “Without this experience, it’s hard to fully appreciate other views. That’s why organizations like CDS are so important; they not only allow you to develop a new perspective, but also give you a chance to be introspective.”

Wired://World Widea look at how technology is changing experiences abroad

TECH SAVVY Pete Heiss had no problem finding his internship before the 2007-08Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange

give Andrew full credit for doing the legwork that would lead to his internship at IBM. That intern-ship that would go on to launch his entire career.

Technical innovations over the past decade have completely altered the process of finding internships abroad, making it increasingly easy for participants to search for work. Internet search engines, company websites, and resume matching services are just a few of the online tools now utilized in procuring positions. Inter-views can be conducted via Skype, a free inter-net-based phone service that cuts down on the traditional costs associated with overseas com-munications. Participants can even see photos of the very block where their potential place of business is located using Google Maps.

Expanded internet usage has changed not only the professional aspects, but also the personal aspects of living abroad. Many participants now research the cultural shocks they can expect to experience before ever stepping foot in their new home abroad. A simple click can give insight

into the host country’s aver-age seasonal temperatures, specific regional holidays, and home-grown recipes that even the most seasoned traveler would envy.

“Fifteen years ago, you could only get the slightest impres-sion of what life was like over-seas through magazines. The internet now gives complete access to life abroad. I am even able to check up on Ger-man newspapers, something I would have had a lot of trou-ble doing back when I was a participant,” Andrew said.

He cautions that for all of technology’s helpful advanc-

Houston isn’t the first place people think of when it comes to environmental con-sideration. The heavy smog in the city

causes eye irritation but it’s the smell from the petro-chemical plants that can really grate on the nerves. “The smell of money” as the old saying goes. Even in this, one of the most pol-luted pockets of America, local citizens are coming together to map out a fresh perspective on the greening of their community with the help of Green Map System, a CDS host organization.

Green Map System is a non-profit orga-nization that helps communities around the world identify and chart green re-sources in their neighborhoods. Local mapmakers use a series of Green Map® Icons, a universal symbol set created by the network of Green Mapmakers, to point out sustainable living and toxic hotspots within a given community.

The Houston Green Map is just one of nearly 400 maps that have already been published using adaptable Green Mapmaking tools and lively iconography. It bills itself as “a pocket guide offering environmental education opportunities along Houston’s light-rail corri-dor.” Highlights include environmental habitats, community gardens, museums, and farmers markets, few of which would receive publicity when competing with headlines like “Welcome to Smog City”. As seen on GreenMap.org, these maps help tourists and city residents support green city development while offering network-ing opportunities between green organizations.

Green Map System recently began hiring CDS interns to significantly expand its out-reach. Wendy Brawer, founding director of the organization, hired CDS interns to help stream-line the map-making process. They did so by creating an easy-to-use online interface called

the Open Green Map that integrates Green Map Icons, Google Maps, local knowledge and the omnipresent social factors of Web 2.0. Ms. Brawer explains that “Green Mapmakers can create an Open Green Map in any language. People are invited to enhance each site by add-ing comments, uploading pictures and includ-

ing their own personal impact assessments. The goal is instant publication of these maps to encourage the public to experience each site and share how each point on the map enhanc-es their life.”

OpenGreenMap.org was soft launched for mapmaking in July 2008, though the project only started in April. Ms. Brawer likes to at-tribute the swift building of the project to the support of CDS and the ingenuity of the two CDS interns who joined Green Map System for the summer, Gottfried Haider and Miikka Lammela. “Gottfried brought very perceptive commentary to the look and feel of the design, with an emphasis on effective usability. Miikka was very sharp and very positive. His general attitude was ‘yes, we can do that. We can fig-ure that out’. He was determined to try to make every idea work well.”

Miikka primarily concentrated on creating a layer that would communicate between Google Maps and the Open Green Map. He worked with the Google Maps API code and interlaced it with features that would be used to create a Green Map, effectively utilizing Drupal, an open-source software to benefit communities world-

wide. “Anyone can update the map”, Miikka said. “You can create your own map, say, in Finland, expand on differ-ent maps that already exist, and add comments, images, and details. You don’t have to pay to add information to other maps, but there is a small fee to create your own map and use any of the Green Map tools”.

Green Map System continues to gar-ner awards from international technol-ogy critics, most recently recognized by the NetSquared and Tele Atlas awards. It was also the cover story in the August 2008 issue of Delta Sky,

the official magazine of Delta Airlines. A pub-lic launch for the Open Green Map is planned for spring 2009 and the Green Map staff is now concentrating on the marketing and business aspects that will compliment the launch. Ms. Brawer hopes to continue her work with CDS interns in the future. “CDS interns are ahead of the curve as far as new technologies and new opportunities are concerned. Hopefully they can continue to help us reach out to an even greater audience!” She is not the only one impressed and we hope the CDS network can help her achieve these goals.

A special thanks to Wendy and her husband Ray who gave a grant from RSF Social Finance to CDS from the Rivington Ridge Fund, a donor advised fund allowing them to support projects they believe in!

I used to fret over an empty mailbox. Maybe something happened to the postman, I’d think. Or maybe I gave the wrong address. Or maybe I just don’t have anyone to give my address to. Now I fret over something in my mailbox. Bills undeniably. I don’t even get good catalogues in the mail anymore. So what’s taken the letter’s place? Email is the obvious answer, but there’s more to it than that. To find out, we turn to our participants. CDS participants are often on the cutting edge when it comes to online communication, as they seek out the easiest and most economical way to communicate with friends and family abroad. I spoke to current Robert Bosch Fellow Seth Beattie (via email of course) about the technologies he uses to bridge the distance between “home” and home. A reply waited for me in my inbox the very next day. No frets with this mail. Below are his thoughts on the latest innovations in the tech community.

chat with people in his address book. Skype (www.skype.com) is an-other chat platform that also features phone and video conferencing components. Through Skype, users can talk in real time without worry-ing about international phone charges as it is a free service. Naturally this is a very popular feature among CDS participants and has even gained traction with CDS staff who use it to conduct phone interviews with J-1 visa applicants.

Social Networking Sites• – Social networking sites have quickly be-come the tie that bonds among 18 to 35 year olds. The most popular site is Facebook (www.facebook.com), which allows users to create profiles and “friend” people from around the world. Seth and 19 other Bosch Fellows currently in Germany have even gone so far so as to create a Fellowship group on the site. This expands their net-work of both professional and personal contacts, while giving them a tool that can be used to share ideas on life abroad and coordinate events such as a Thanksgiving meal. Linked-In (www.linkedin.com) is another social networking site that differentiates itself by catering to a professional crowd. CDS International has groups on both sites. Login and join today!

Whatever Happened to the Postcard?

Blogs• – Short for “web log”, many of our participants keep these online journals to share their experiences with friends and strangers alike. Blogs run the gamut in regards to topics; some are extremely per-sonal while others instigate thought and discussion. Readers can leave comments on what has been written and have update notifications sent automatically whenever a new article has been written. Seth discussed the possibility of blogging with Geniocity (www.geniocity.com), so be sure to check in soon.

File sharing• – Seth has found the website yousendit (www.yousen-dit.com) useful for sending large files such as videos or high reso-lution photos. He isn’t the only one either. It’s also the preferred method of sending photo entries for the photo and video contests CDS sponsors. Flickr (www.flickr.com) is another media sharing web-site that gives you the chance to organize photos with “tags” and share them with the world. Check out CDS’s pictures on flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdsevents.

Chat• – There are several different “chat” platforms that allow you to talk instantly with people throughout the world. Seth uses Gchat (www.gmail.com), which is built into his email inbox and allows him to
