CIS Spark Global

Igniting Innovation Through Place, People, and Purpose

In Partnership with Social Design Institute

CIS Spark is a flexible learning program offering a range of engagement—from short 1–2 week workshops to immersive 1–12 month internships. Participants co-create inclusive, place-based solutions by working directly with communities, local governments, and cross-disciplinary teams.

Through its three pathways—Spark Global, Spark Design, and Spark Community, the program nurtures future innovators who connect local realities with global aspirations, combining social engagement, design thinking, and innovation for society.
