A Vision for
Intercultural Relations

Social Innovation

Our vision is to drive social innovation through intercultural relations education, conversational leadership, and K-12 youth collaboratives for glocal solutions.

Connected Culture

Catalyzing cooperation among business, education, and community leaders to build a connected culture where people feel empowered to contribute and thrive.

For the Greater Good

We serve the public good by empowering people to bridge cultural divides, build inclusive communities, and create change and community impact.

The Intercultural Relations Institute catalyzes social innovation among business, education, and nonprofit leaders to build cross-cultural capacity, pioneer glocal solutions, and leverage collective intelligence through our educational programs and initiatives. 

What We Do

We inspire social innovation, lead glocal solutions, and enrich communities through our intercultural education, leadership development, and community engagement programs and initiatives.

 

Why Intercultural Relations?

The future of work requires more than technical expertise. The most valuable skills for success will be unique to humans—the ability to innovate, solve problems, and collaborate effectively

Intercultural relations are essential because they strengthen communication, understanding, and cooperation across perspectives. 

Intercultural leadership is a key driver of leadership, innovation, and sustainable growth in today’s world.

 

Together, we empower leaders to build agile, inclusive spaces, and navigate worldviews and demographic shifts to create a connected, sustainable future for all.

Our Goal Is to Build the Foundation for a more Connected, Sustainable Future for All
