International Cultural Exchange

We have increasingly culturally diverse coastal communities that bring new and untapped cultural exchange opportunities that will enable robust ongoing relationships between small and micro-businesses with the coastal communities they serve. And go beyond the primary transactional relationship level. 

Our cultural exchange partners provide global insight in healthy food grown in various regions around the world, easy-to-apply sustainable techniques, music and performing arts, etc. all to educate and inform our real-time, community-specific advanced research, planning and training.

The studios serve as an ongoing technical assistance support structure to provide community-based, nonprofit, and faith-based, local and international governmental entities with the advanced research, planning, design, engineering, and construction expertise required for execution of the SUV concept with a scalable approach. We are mindful that this concept is a new and innovative approach brought on by the realization of the COVID- 19 pandemic and the increasing occurrence of other global natural and man-made disasters. We look to establish a re-imagination of how we plan, design, prepare, use and sustain our coastal communities in urban and rural areas on a scalable basis.

The goal is to conduct long-term advanced research, planning, design and training, and collaborations to establish a foundation of cultural competence. This will enhance small and micro-businesses, and entrepreneurial skills training programs and promote the development of SUVs. These efforts will involve partnerships with local businesses, educational institutions, government, and other entities to drive community-specific sustainable economic development and business initiatives.
