Partnered Initiatives
RISD Global has been developing unique approaches to global engagement through partnerships and collaborations across the world that engage multiple external partners, three or more RISD academic departments, and over two or more years of sustained activity.
In RISD’s approach to global academic engagements, we value:
- Reciprocal exchanges of ideas and practices across cultures, borders and languages through dialogue, debate and immersive learning experiences.
- Global engagements that broaden perspectives, decenter experiences and reframe assumptions.
- Mobility that connects students, faculty and partners with diverse traditions of, and approaches to, making across the world.
We recognize that the best way to achieve these values in globally engaged work is to partner with schools, universities and organizations local to the places our faculty and students are connecting and to co-create programs together.
