Intercultural Partnership Program: Making a World of Difference

This year marks the Intercultural Partnership Program’s twentieth year, and it also marks the program’s first time being held in person since 2019. Over the last year, nearly 70 partnerships have formed through the program, with the goal of building deeper intercultural competence and aligning with RRC Polytech’s commitment to embed equity, diversity and inclusion in everything we do.

The program connects local partners (students and staff who are Canadian-raised or have lived in Canada for at least one year) with global partners (immigrant and international students) for friendship and to explore intercultural connections.

To celebrate partnerships that exemplify the spirit of the Intercultural Partnership Program, every year two pairs of partners per term (Fall and Winter) are recognized with the Making a World of Difference Award.
