Le Voyage, une ouverture de l’esprit | Sophie Cachard | TEDxKedgeBS


thank you good evening my name is sophie and

since I was a child

it was that of traveling and

barring and today if I work

for a travel site was not

only to help anyone has

before the information they

are looking for the trip but it’s

also because I think sincerely

that travel is a factor

innocent to help make change and

to evolve mentalities

since the dawn of time the man is

conquered in search of

new lands and new ideas

so unfortunately these encounters at

early it’s still very bad

past and that they gave a lot

place to the domination of a people by a

other colonization

today it’s still happening

pretty well and the trip is synonymous with

pleasure and discovery

the trip has also become a

philosophy there are people who travel

permanently by desire by desire this

that I’m going to show you here today

what I would like you to do

as a message is that when you travel

can have much more impact than you

do not think so if we look a little in

France there are more and more people who

travel the first reason how do

can see it easily it’s facebook

your friends they rot your wall with

holiday photos while you

you work then if we look

the names more concretely even if not

everyone but really agree on

these numbers there are about two

millions of French people who left

live abroad who have so

found their happiness elsewhere and this

number increases by 2 to 3% every

years in France

after we also welcome a lot

foreigners welcome for example

students we are the third country

to the world that welcomes the most

of foreign students and that’s

nice it allows cultures to

meet and we send

about a third of our students to

the stranger and a third party who the same word

not the same by also doing an internship at

abroad and it’s great it allows

everyone to meet

today precisely thanks to the internet

you really have no reason to

not move not even traveling in

staying in front of your computer you

have access to a whole lot of sites to

a lot of information

and precisely the purpose if you travel

it is to use this information in

line to use these sites to create

communities of people who have left

at the other end of the world and who had

other ideas and share all

these ideas that you have these

communities of people traveling and the

people who are traveling they may have a

better understanding of the world because

that they have seen it differently they are

went elsewhere they saw other

systems they’ve seen other modes of

thought they listened to others

other values ​​are dying and maybe

in fact they are more tolerant they

are more open

they opened their minds to others

cultures and suddenly it works and

exchange ideas I’m not telling you that

you will revolutionize the world you

can exchange ideas on

no matter it’s a super

cooking recipes you have stung

in thailand or a super system

egalitarian politics that would work

super good but we still have not

found it’s true and if you get to

see the world a little more

global to say to himself that ben such

no one

she can just winged

such person because you saw him

that you managed to sting a

idea there to move the

positively things in your country in

your corner

even in your family no matter

your mentality then to change and if

she changes to the personal level I think

sincerely that you can do them

change to much higher levels

great for you even for you

speak today more concretely

example and well I think a lot

of you here are concerned with the

student trip from doing his

studies abroad it’s a

first step is not a pretty nifty

and in addition you can before leaving

watch programs that will help you

allow to put forward

skills that you do not have

necessarily highlighted during the

French studies

I think for example in the United Kingdom where

courses are much more convenient

that theoretical

so maybe starting at

united kingdom you will be facing a

world of work to a world of

responsibilities that will allow you

to use all your skills from one

another way

the opposite if you are someone from

very studious and well in south korea

in Asia no matter which courses they are

much more serious that you

will push you to go over

far while evolving in another

culture and being left to

abroad you will have two forms of

added value is extremely important

the first is low and you will

may have learned our language and the

second is that we will want as a

resourceful person

after that I do not tell you that going

student trip three months is ok

change your life and it’s going to change

your vision

6

if what has been said is true and that

king jong hoon the dictator of korea

from the north is really gone

studies in Switzerland and your freedoms

expression system political level

bac it was like pissing in a

violin he absolutely learned nothing

after if you leave for work

so there you go into a

new professional environment

bringing your luggage and French

also by meeting a new system

and well, you will be one

employee who has done a lot better

work in a team and maybe I

wish you a better manager

when you leave for work certainly

you can go to a place that

you personally dream but

except that what you can do is

what you should do is

maybe you know to see in

which country do we need nobody with

your qualification and starting in

the right country you will have access to more than

responsibility a better job

and maybe why not a better

salary there are people who on leaving

to see the world

we can blow up their business on

will take the example of the family said

wow the family says wow it’s a

Scottish family who makes whiskey

since the mid-19th century and

father to son in daughter they all

inherited from the box there is one he has

tell me I’m breaking I ‘m going to do the

world Tour

I see how we make the whiskey is

elsewhere and then I’m going back and my

whiskey it will be even better

and yes it worked it was right

he was going to poke ideas elsewhere

for his work for his ideas and that

has worked very well

the last form of travel she

would you like to talk fast is the

humanitarian solidarity trip so you

know it all here it’s going to be leaving to

the meeting of a new population

of a new people and help them to

improve their way of life

you can work on a shelter and

education on a topic of value to

through sports for example where some

more practical thing the construction

a building irrigation system

etc or even very hard themes

like violence the family

lack of access to care from

solidarity trip that will take you out

it completely from your comfort

will break your ideas you will not be fair

in a new culture you will

look at the world differently you

can look at the fact that all

men are equal but in fact do not

are not and maybe you can

change things then what is

very complicated to do

if it is absolutely necessary to look for

associations with which you leave

and know where does the money know if

something was done before knowing

so precisely and well it works in the

concrete because help short term

it’s good but if we can help

long term and not even better

and a last funk that develops

it’s called the roof ming you ming it

means bravo louise michel

sorry for the accent so traveling with

a mission and that allows anyone

which of you when you travel

frolics to be able to access by

example at a school in burma where

they do not have a geography teacher and

you down you have an education of

geography and suddenly free of charge

exchange of housing or shelter and

well you will be able to teach

here I am going to stop before you

actually lose I just want you

hold back one thing is broken you

take your travel bag and you go

change without you realizing it you

go learn without even having to

force it and it’ll be great for you

[Applause]
