PARTNERSHIPS OVERVIEW

Target audience:

We believe design is a powerful way to engage and inspire youth to develop their creativity and critical thinking abilities. Our partnerships with communities of color are essential in directly supporting our efforts in maximizing the impact of our design program. Through partnerships, students have more connections with mentors & role models, senses of belonging, and empowerment when pursing careers in design and related fields.

As a part of our vision for creating a global design education platform, Inneract Project believes that strong partnerships with communities of color, organizations, corporate partners and institutions working together create more equitable opportunities for youth and promote diversity and inclusivity in the design industry.
