OUR MISSION Women Forward International is a global platform for systemic change in international affairs education, reorienting research towards the principles of unity, collaboration, and service. We create unique partnerships that lead to behavioral changes that advance women to advance humanity. WFI partners with a range of private sector, academic and non-profit clients to identify research critical to human progress, and then pairs teams of graduate international studies students with these organizations to complete that research and implement solutions. WFI also uses the reflective power of Art to reveal and investigate the underlying cultural issues at stake in a given international relations issue and provide the next generation of leaders a more holistic approach to human relationships. WHY AND HOW WE CHOOSE OUR PARTNERS How does Women Forward International select its artist and university partners? We look for artists who dare to do things outside the boundaries of social norms – in order to break free of outmoded and limited mindsets. Our university partners each have faculty dedicated to serving humanity through research. When we bring together service-oriented educators with bold moves of artistic freedom we find that we inspire change – changes in consciousness which lead to changes in behavior and society. As art is relevant to every international relations issue and its forms such as film, music, poetry, and dance hold the power to awaken the heart towards empathy for one’s fellow being, the next generation of leaders is exposed to new templates for human relations and encouraged to act on them.
