The Pell Center promotes the primary objectives of Sen. Claiborne Pell's decades of public service: Enhancing international dialogue to achieve a more peaceful world and preparing individuals for an informed and active role in local, national and world affairs.
Pell Center Collaborative Partners involve organizations and programs that directly support the five major themes around which Center activities are organized:
Collaborative partnerships range from formal letters of understanding regarding ongoing seminar exchanges and working agenda (such as with the United Nations Environment Programme), continuing partnerships on issues of common inquiry (such as with the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University), promoting the arts, humanities and education (such as with the Newport International Film Festival) , and programs deserving wider recognition (such as with the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation).
