  1. "Frameworks for Global Engagement: Infrastructures to Support Good Practice Across Borders" Elizabeth Tryon Community-University Exchange University of Wisconsin-Madison 2013

  2. Setting context: what are the latest trends and insights? • TRUCEN survey: • Frameworks ~ Top 3 factors in success: • Joint faculty and community “buy-in” • Streamlined process • Shared network of global partners • Practices: (parallel those in local engagement activities) • Relationships developed over time • Standards or guidelines • Collaborations help with streamlining and maximize impact

  3. Creating New Structures

  4. Two Frameworks: Local to Global • Wisconsin Without Borders: • Credit-bearing • Interdisciplinary • Community-identified priorities • GACER: Global Alliance for Community-Engaged Research • Create worldwide “knowledge democracy” • UNESCO Chair

  5. DEVELOPING PRIORITIESwith communities • Respect • No assumptions • Real listening • Be open to other perspectives • Don't impose your own personal/cultural values • Be authentic - be honest about our agendas • UBUNTU: "I am because we are".

  6. MORE PRIORITIES: • Be realistic • Length of time required to build relationships must be honored • Recognize value that you bring is less than that you derive • Humility - reflect on impact • Think Local, Act Local.

  7. YOUR IDEAS • What are other priorities, values, etc. that we can add to shape policies and develop frameworks? • How might we align our values with these international alliances to maximize capacity-building in authentic, respectful ways?
