Our Mission

The International Institute of Wisconsin is an organization dedicated to the promotion of international cooperation, understanding, and a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural perspective through education, exchange, communication, social activities, and immigration and naturalization services.

The Institute initiates, coordinates, and sponsors a variety of activities and programs appropriate to the fulfillment of this primary purpose.

 

Our Programs

Educational Outreach

Conducting numerous classes, seminars, workshops, and cooperative ventures, the Institute strives to educate the community. 

Holiday Folk Fair International

The well-known Holiday Folk Fair International is one of many programs through which the Institute raises the level of awareness and tolerance for cultural differences in our own community.  Additional information on the Folk Fair is available at:  www.folkfair.org

Business and Government Services
