before I start my talk I would like to

watch it carefully

it’s the biggest supermarket chain in
Germany and as you can see it is
entirely empty what in the world has
happened here if you want to know the
secret of this supermarket
follow me last year was a hard time for
Europe it suffered from international
conflicts such as bread stood the
refugee crisis and terrorism I was there
in Germany in the middle of that
whirlpool as a foreigner how do you
think I felt they’re scared intimidated
miserable from discrimination wrong the
words I would have to choose to describe
my life in Germany with me these
wonderful pleasant and even at home I
would like to share my experiences I had
in Germany as a foreigner it was a dark
night on March 1st when my family at
first set foot in Berlin you had to go
to the rental center at the airport but
we didn’t know which way to go
so we asked a police officer passing by
to our surprise he smashed one of our
carts full of luggage and told us to
follow him it was quite a long way and
we chatted and laughed all the way long
we finally arrived at the elevator
directly connected to the rental center
we said we could go on our own from
there but he insisted getting in the
elevator with us only after dropping off
this Asian family inside the rental
center did he say goodbye that was my
first experience of warm welcome in
Germany after 4 months of learning
I entered a German High School gymnasium
and it changed it my children was not so
good fully enough to understand the
journey classes oh the journey classes
yet I was delighted every morning
waiting for school thanks to the care of
German friends and teachers when we were
chatting in German my friends asked
shall speak English chatting English
when they ask me
shall we do the German we can help me
practice either way it was customized
for me in class they kept asking me if I
understood the teacher and translated
things to English the teachers
deliberately gave me many chances to
talk in class they said they tried to
hear experiences and thoughts from a
different cultural background I was so
grateful for their care and warm heart
the next moment I became curious why are
they doing all this to me after all I
have no more than a foreigner to them
maybe they were just helping a poor form
well it was not long before I could
understand their true heart when I
wasn’t join me the whole country was
overwhelming with refugees the refugee
centers were helping them settle down in
Germany I wanted to lend a hand to among
the available project I chose
distributing donated clothes the
refugees who came to get the clothes
were mostly mothers of young kids they
took Marconi’s for the children
itself and begs for just one more item
for kids even though they were already
over limit on the streets I have passed
by people who seemed to be refugees but
never disclosed before at first I
thought they report deprived and
therefore needed help
that was why I began starting the
refugee center volunteer work and I
thought that the German volunteer
workers also thought what I was thinking
but as I continued the volunteer work I
saw how they are treating the refugees
and I thought and I realized that I was
wrong the Germans were treating the
refugees not as foreigners or others
they were accepting them as one of their
members of course they were not German
and as a result the German society and
culture could have changed and there
were people there were voices the miner
that called them a contamination and
called for their banishment Germany
could have customer to Germany could
have called them criminals and
terrorists they could have banished them
as much like as much as the world has
done but instead they decided to embrace
them all
it was not that they needed help because
they report it was a step for them to
live as us as a member of the German
society in spite of all the changes the
refugees brought to Germany they there
they were there at work treating the
refugees as
the same as themselves seeing those
Germans with the refugees I finally
understood why the policemen had friends
and teachers and everyone I met were so
kind to me it was nothing like charity
they were not looking at me as a
foreigner I was simply another member of
their society they were treating me not
as a foreigner I was being treated just
as another German would have been you
over under the sea of candlelight that
filled calm and squared last December
across the world as well Koreans
gathered before the Koreans gathered to
demand their president’s resignation
Germany was no exception I – warning
mask with a chicken head on it at Hotel
in Saigon reading president Park out but
among Koreans gathered before the
Brandenburg Gate
I saw Germans and other foreigners
joining our demonstration why would they
they had absolutely no reason to join us
they were not getting a prize or money
or anything but now I know that it was
purely out of global citizenship they
were sewing together to make a more
democratic society see them one question
developed inside me if we saw people
from another nation protesting against
their own dictatorship in front of the
carnival square would we have done the
same as
or would we have shouted it’s your
business deal with a problem in your
country now let’s go back to that
supermarket I hope you didn’t forget it

as a leading my consumers about the PRT
few fight on our mentioned
[Music]
the sister unzip this into an office
land would SH me get German person
devoted servant Livia to citizens and as
a son kind of material angry
[Music]
this is Gemma supermarket chain edeka
from always 21st they were through every
products made abroad and only display
items made entirely in Germany instead
they put these lines reading the rack
looks like this without diversity we
would have been more deprived without
diversity it was a light refreshing you
to see this inspiring performance
expressing that we are all connected and
that if we try to cut that connection
off it would merely result in it would
merely result in isolation of ourselves
in fact the xenophobic atmosphere in
Germany is considerably lower than those
of other European countries nonetheless
they take caution against the smallest
symptom this campaign was led by a
single supermarket chain not even a
national project it was a great chance
to see their sense of citizenship now I
would like to share my most memorable
experience my last experience in
generally it is the International Youth
Summit from I use an international youth
NGO that’s me oh that’s me again under
the theme of world world’s one home they
can cover topics such as recent social
problems gender equality sustainability
and diversity we had workshops
discussions presentations and the
symposium pondering upon what we could
do as youth to make a better world the
flyer message we are cold agrees to was
this we as youth should lead in having a
sense of quality and a key taking
actions however smaller they might be I
was struck by their active and serious
attitudes they were so they were so
eager in discussing the social issues
diversity and equality they were
passionate in looking for small plans
for themselves to change the world but
the thing is no one had ever told them
to they could have just kept living as
Europeans the rich and the strong
ignoring all the social weak around the
world but they chose to live as a global
citizen they considered the problems
around the globe as their own feeling
responsibility for themselves to take
actions for them today there are people
who we feel are not one of us in our
society let us think about how we look
at them what does your mind when you
hear the word most
for most Koreans might probably be the
multicultural family issues or foreign
labor issues but the true meaning of
multiculturalism is not so now there’s
more to it
the ability to embrace all the code
other cultures as they are and to
realize that they are part of us they
are part of our community
multiculturalism without this kind of
awareness cannot help but ended up a
distorted charity from the advantage to
the disadvantaged not many of you might
have had experiences of globalization or
multiculturalism as high school students
but Korea is no longer a nation of a
single race as we can see from the case
of the German supermarket in Dakar we
can no longer live ignoring our relation
to the world as soon as you mcneely come
university students the opportunities to
become a foreigner will become greatly
increased such as going on a trip abroad
or becoming exchange students as we all
become foreigners at any time let us
think about how we should look at the
forest around us do not call them there
remember that we too can always become
there change your perceptions and you’ll
notice many small actions available
waiting for you to change the world I
hope that curry
actively join in making a one world one
home through international solidarity
and respect for multiculturalism we are
all foreigners thank you
