This process gives our institution an international and intercultural dimension that allows us to compete in the global world. In our development process as a Department, we included various strategies such as Workshops, Modules and International Summer Courses, through which we have achieved a high recognition at national and international level. Our 6th edition of the Newsletter shows the progress and achievements in internationalization that have taken place throughout the semester. María Isabel Cifuentes M.

The tourism strategy exposed by the Argentinian diplomat, focused on an action plan that gathered different approaches: art, nature, fishing, thermal therapies, fairs and exhibitions, and cultural and scientific tourism, allowing a complex and fruitful development for the city. It is important to highlight that even before having certain resources you must have a vision and a clear horizon, in addition to an appropriate team that involves community, employers and political representatives in a working synergy, which optimizes the achievement of resources. Business and political will must be shown as real and feasible for the project implementation to be viable and to meet the needs of the population to be benefited. This plan, which began in late 1995 and still in force today, has larger resorts such as the Digital Planetarium and the Sports Center, where various athletic championships of international stature were hosted. The inhabitants of Malargüe managed to beat unemployment thanks to this policy that has a 50 year projection.

The main central theme focused on the management of new pavement based on new technologies for development and refinement of techniques that include the use and maintenance of alternative materials, which take into account the impact on the environment atmosphere. These technologies in turn are focused on minimizing the carbon footprint left by current production methods. The event was raised from a multidisciplinary approach, since it had a multisectoral team to handle this issue.

This course examined different negotiation forms that take place in today’s world, strongly determined by the phenomenon of globalization. International negotiations, especially those of economic and business nature, were studied and characterized, emphasizing the inherent cultural dimension of the negotiations that occur in a different than usual context. The course also addressed the various negotiator profiles existing in the world, analyzing the challenges of intercultural negotiation in a rigorous and not stereotyped manner. The course was divided into three sections, addressing subjects that are closely related to each other, but must be analyzed differently. page The first section focused on the description of the globalization context and on the analysis of basic notions of negotiation, including a thorough analysis of the method of principled negotiation, founded by Harvard University. In this section, it was discussed with the participants what would be the best way to address international negotiations and what the differences with negotiations taking place within our borders would be. We have learned that not only academics have left useful lessons on negotiating but also other classic authors who have written about power relationships as Niccolo Machiavelli, among others. The second section focused on intercultural negotiation and on understanding the importance of the cultural dimension in all international business. We have seen different perspectives on the influence of culture on negotiation, and delved into the concept of culture through anthropology and sociology, in order to understand how culture shapes our thinking and performance. We have also analyzed different negotiator profiles both in the world and in Colombia. 9 The last section was dedicated to the Protocol from the perspective of the business world. We seek to understand with this the importance of this aspect in international negotiations as well as how to address the role of women in negotiations with cultures other than ours. At the end of the course, which has had a participatory approach based on discussion and interaction, which fundamental notions are we left with? Perhaps the first idea is that globalization has radically altered at all levels the way that business and contacts have been traditionally done, generating a great geo-economic and geopolitical transformation. The world has become smaller due to advances in technology, transport and the digital society, which has led to a growing rapprochement between the governments of the countries, public and private institutions, businesses and traders, individuals and civil society as a whole. Consequently, the international and intercultural negotiation is increasingly the norm rather than the exception for a growing number of institutions, companies and organizations. Some consider that its influence should not be exaggerated, since the purpose that unites partners in any business initiative is to do business, “Business is Business” ranks in all major aspects of any negotiation. Others consider the cultural aspects do have a major impact not only on the formal aspects and rituals of negotiation, but also in the form of how to understand the ultimate purpose of a negotiation. Here, we have analyzed the work of Geert Hofstede and his theory of the cultural dimensions. Understanding cultural differences is therefore essential for the international negotiator. His or her ability to detect joint interests and common benchmarks to successfully carry out the negotiation depends on it. Furthermore, we have consistently analyzed the issue of negotiator stereotypes and how globalization is also affecting them. Thus, the course has taught that it is not possible to claim that the interpretation of things revolves only around our perspective. There are many others, and we must be aware that “the earth does not revolve around us.” The second idea we have learned in this course is that the general principles of any negotiation can also be applied in the international trading with a business nature. They are not different. International negotiation has added complexities and specificities that come mainly from the context in which it occurs and the influence of cultural factors. Therefore, the general method chosen should be applied when negotiating beyond our borders, though making an international reading of the method, i.e. adapting it to and interpreting it from the international and counterparty, which will likely come from another cultural context. Finally, we study the International Protocol, whose ultimate goal is the coexistence, i.e. that everyone feels respected and that the activities are applied not to create problems or misunderstandings, but to resolve them. Another central idea on which we worked is the one that states that the cultural factor is what affects the international negotiation the most, although there are many opinions on how culture really affects the negotiation. I hope I have contributed for the course participants to face up to their international negotiating experiences confidently and to obtain more effective results. Until next time! page We understood that good knowledge of the Protocol helps us to act professionally and naturally, and to use the necessary interpersonal skills in an appropriate manner, so that it results in a good working relationship and greater ease when doing business. 10 PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM HUMANITARIAN WORK PSYCHOLOGY INTERNATIONALIZATION ACTIVITIES PhD Psychologist Stuart Carr, who is the Director of the Organizational Psychology Research Group at Massey University, New Zealand, and has conducted studies in related disciplines for reducing poverty, visited the Psychology program. In his OCDE publications he includes subjects such as Support Psychology, Psychology and the developing world, globalization and culture at work, poverty and psychology, the support triangle and psychology of global mobility, among others.

Main auditorium Piloto University of Colombia. Under the Internationalization Project “Joint Academic Production”, which includes the participation of international professors, the Architecture Program had the visit of the architect Stephen Platt during the first week of September. The renowned architect comes from the Cambridge Architectural Research (CAR), Institution with which the Piloto University of Colombia holds a convention with the purpose of promoting academic activities and projects of mutual interest from November 2012. Among the activities during his visit, the architect held the conference “Strategies for growth and contraction”, in Arquitects Stephen Platt and María Ximena Manrique. Fieldtrip Cazucá sector. FIRST INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ABOUT PROMOTING READING The Reading Seminar was held in association with the Embassy of Argentina and the International Relations Department at the Piloto University of Colombia, with an approach towards the eminently collective construction process, including integral processes and different strategies. Reading policies should be considered statal policies, in order to convert us and those who are surrounded by the best bridge between text and reader. From left to right, Dr. Maria Isabel Cifuentes –Director of the International Relations Department of the Piloto University of Colombia–, Mr. Facundo Mercadante –International professor–, Mrs. Marina Abasto –International Partnership of the Embassy of Argentina–, Dr. Maria Adelaida Cuello –Institutional Coordinator–, and Dr. Gustavo Stefanelli –Cultural attaché for the Embassy of Argentina. page 12 which issues such as urban growth and the impact of urban regeneration in the UK were discussed. It included the participation of students and professors of the Architecture Program. Moreover, due to his involvement in the research “Sustainable Territorial Planning Methodology in contexts of physical and socioeconomic vulnerability Cazucá, Soacha” led by architect Maria Ximena Manrique, it paid a visit to the studied territory in the research group and participated in the recording of a radio program for Unipilotoradio, as part of the disclosure of his researches along with the team. READING FOR PLEASURE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ABOUT PROMOTING READING Licenciado Facundo Mercadante International Professor Argentina Our objective was not to subdue ourselves to objectives. We learned from the first day that the premises were simple but compelling: give us a space within the University to exercise freedom and wonder, to probe the passion and curiosity. How many colleges offer areas where students can confront themselves as a human beings? Because this is what this seminar is about, of finding us -playing- with questions that come to us to the bone, that explore the essence and we may only respond in secret. page In our daily life, do people often ask us about what we love? So Mr. / Miss, what causes you curiosity? We heard it all: “I’m intrigued to know what happens after death”, “Are there aliens? “, “I am curious about the future”, “Why men are less committed with love?”, “How did this person come to rule this country?”, “Why is it that we remember what we remember?”, and “How is music made?” We found some shared curiosities and knew that many poets, novelists, musicians are intrigued and excited about the same things. 13 Of course, the seminar has a formal program that we fully complied, but the basic interest was to awake the latent and wonderful need of walking new trails on our reader path. Reader path? Sure, we all have a reader path. It begins long before we know how to read, it begins with lullabies, childhood jokes, tales from our grandma or our uncle, bedtime stories. Then we got to school and started reading generally because it was mandatory, to acquire knowledge and skills, which is fine but sometimes makes the arrival of new less academic challenges difficult. Waking up, we said, new trails in this path. And to “wake up” we need to realize that we are a little asleep: we are slept with the television and media anesthesia, it wears our academic rigor out, it shapes the “good manners”. Our life experience is reduced to waking up, having breakfast, getting on and off of Transmilenio, studying, eating, sleeping. But then in the middle of all, we love, we talk, we behold, we get angry, we reflect, we cry, we learn. We share. I mean we experience, we live experiences. That is reading, neither more nor less: experience. If you are offered a wealth of experience, of new but close situations, human experiences, would you reject them? There’s that book to hand. He is waiting for you, take the time. We talk about libraries, about the magnificent university and public libraries, we visited and met the Luis Angel Arango Library (by the way, did you know that UniPiloto has an institutional affiliation and therefore access to over two million books, electronic resources, articles, etc.?). The library as a right, an essential public service as water and electricity. We also noticed that the library is at home and that the library is us: we carry internal printed texts as tattoos in the soul and heart. It is time to share, I think. So we gave space to storytelling, to a sometimes underestimated reading: that of listening. We all talked and listen. Stories, anecdotes, we even made up a story together. We also did a spontaneous writing exercise, very revealing. Virginia Woolf used to say that the best advice for those who want to be born as new readers is not to listen any advices. The reader path is an autonomous path, own, not appropriable by others. This means that it does not require tolls, page we hate reading cops: “you must read this or read this”. We only suggest to put small hydration and relaxation stalls, we open secret passages into the mountains or airports from which to take off. In the Main Branch in Bogota we met Colombian and worldwide authors. We did it by playing, we created a Literature World Cup, which the Latin American team won (the other teams were Colombia, Argentina and Rest of World). In Girardot, the seminar was condensed to almost four consecutive days, so the challenge was to interact quickly, to know each other deeply and give us the confidence to talk about everyone’s reader path, without shame or hypocrisy. We intervened the street, interacted with others, whispered poetry to bystanders, as a gift for them and us. We read and we reviewed books that were supposed to be “for children”. This opened our poetic and playful space one more time, we were surprised by the depth of illustrated books and symbols that the stories bring, both from the rich Colombian tradition and from the Grimm Brothers. We never stopped asking questions to ourselves. We are all readers, yes sir. But, what kind of reader are we? There is everything: novels reader, comic reader, graffiti reader, situations reader, songs reader, movies, gestures, facebook status reader. Fickle reader, poetry reader, restless reader, academic texts reader, erotic books reader, lazy reader, daily reader. We can be readers of various types at once. The idea is to recognize and to make a click, allowing a change to adventure, encourage ourselves to find other possible readings. Underneath, playful questions became coexistence and community questions: which is city that we want? Which people? Active, sparkling, supportive, critical, imaginative, tolerant? Or passive, indolent citizens that give themselves to media dictates and the dominant discourses? Citizens who despise the difference? Nobody said that reading makes us better, or that it is better than living. But we are convinced that reading makes us more human and enriches our lives. 14 ONLINE RADIO PROGRAM INTERNATIONAL VISION AT UNIPILOTORADIO Following the context discussions on globalization topics, the radio program of the International Relations Department “International Vision”, which is broadcasted every Wednesday at 3:30 pm, has Dr. Maria Isabel Cifuentes on the direction, Dr. Maria Adelaida Cuello on the coordination, and Tito Martinez on the voice.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM MASTER OF VALUE-ADDED NETWORK MANAGEMENT AND LOGISTICS SPECIALIZATION ON LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP: SUPPLY CHAIN AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN CUBA The workshop aimed at finding and expanding knowledge and training horizons for students, providing their professional development, managerial skills and strategic actions to the different fields of action of Supply Chain Management and Logistics. This was page 15 raised with the knowledge of better international practices and sharing theories and concepts related to the particularities of Supply Chain Management and Logistics with people from other disciplines, skilled professors and entrepreneurs. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AT PILOTO UNIVERSITY OF COLOMBIA Luisa Fernanda Pineda International Cooperation Coordinator The Piloto University of Colombia, through its International Relations Department, is interested in having different elements from the International Cooperation and from the Higher Education Internationalization processes, not only because of the growing importance of these subjects in the universities, but also because of the need of constant improvement of the university processes, to offer a quality service to the students and to remain at the forefront of educational issues in Colombia. It is for this reason that in late 2013, the International Relations Department initiated a planning process for CI activities. As a result, we have earned the Strategic Plan for International Cooperation effective for the 2014 – 2018 period and it will be reviewed at the end of each year to make adjustments, review indicators and modify the work plan for each new period. This document is the road map on the CI that the PUC will follow, with the main objective to strengthen the interinstitutional linkages between the University and its counterparts identified as: foreign academic institutions, cooperation agencies, national and international government, and civil society and private organizations. Major advances have been the Strategic Plan for incorporating participatory mechanisms in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Plan through which the academic community of the PUC may collaborate with CI processes, as well as getting a profit on mobility, curriculum internationalization, development of joint research with other institutions, and cultural and scientific exchange. In this sense, elements for accountability by the International Relations Department are also incorporated through transparency of information and the development of appropriate management indicators to monitor the progress of the four strategies contained in the Plan. page Another key component is to improve the communication mechanisms between the Department, the academic community and partners, for which information systems that allow classification and a better knowledge of information users are being developed, so that the data matches with scientific interests of each institution and person included in our database. Likewise, it aims to deepen the level of cooperation by the broader knowledge of international cooperation agencies that are present in Colombia, for which you have the Manual for Accessing International Cooperation issued by the Presidential Agency for International Cooperation-APC as a reference consultation. This instrument will allow the CI offer from the PUC to various institutions interested in developing joint projects with the University. Finally, the International Relations Department intends to take a more active participation in internationalization networks of higher education in Colombia, for which it seeks to consolidate a leadership position and recognition among the institutions that shape and assist in the implementation of joint projects at an interinstitutional and multidisciplinary level, expanding the various opportunities available to students and professors to learn new cultures and increase knowledge through research, the addition of other languages in the areas of training and knowledge transfer between the University, private companies, governments and civil society in general. All in all, we can say that the development of the Strategic Plan for International Cooperation of the Piloto University of Colombia is just one of the many activities being conducted by the International Relations Department to improve the quality of educational services offered to the community and makes part of a cluster of projects hinged together, gestated from the policies of the University. 16 NEW AGREEMENTS ACADEMIC PARTERSHIP FRAMEWORK Universidad Europea de Madrid – España.
