When the opportunity came up to do GID, it was a no-brainer for me, because I wanted to create the contacts and experiences necessary to make myself a viable candidate for international opportunities.”Įmbracing diversity though collaboration across disciplines and cultures is a key element of the program ethos, including dealing with conflicts, resulting in essential skills for global leaders. Keith Kirkland (Pratt MID/GID ’15) : “I came to Pratt because I wanted to find deeper meaning in the things I was designing.
The GID program aims to create catalysts for positive change in a globalized society. Students gain a unique perspective by living and studying on three different continents, immersed in three different cultures, amidst three of the largest economies in the world. It is a partnership between institutions with complementary expertise in art, design, engineering, technology and business, and with the added advantage of locations rich in culture, design and lifestyle. Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, Royal College and Imperial College in London, and Keio Media Design in Tokyo are world-renowned academic institutions, leaders in design and innovation, aiming to develop skills in applying creative methods to complex problems in real-world constraints. The GID Program resulted from a desire among top-level design academia in New York, London and Tokyo to come together in a trans-national, innovation-led, educational experience, and to attract some of the most promising creative minds from around the world.
