The project promotes OCAD’s international collaborations and programs and engages their community directly in the process, building more opportunities for participation.
At the heart of this approach is the launch of a series of networking groups/clubs comprised of members of students, staff and faculty, and their counterparts from international institutional and community partners. These participatory groups kickstart individual participation in international dialogues and serve as a way for the institution to both promote to and learn from its community in the planning of future international programming.
This initiative builds OCAD’s capacity to support more individuals looking to take part in international programming and ensures the institution is making informed decisions on how to best set program goals and priorities moving forward.
