Dartmouth Dialogues launched a Shared Studios Portal on campus in April 2025. Located in the Kemeny Courtyard behind Baker-Berry Library, the Dartmouth Portal featured an immersive room, one wall of which is a screen that connects you to people in other portals around the world. 

In the spirit of Dartmouth Dialogues’s commitment to respectful discussion across differences, the Dartmouth Portal enables students, staff, and faculty to engage with communities in nearly 20 countries to challenge our perspectives, sharpen intercultural communication skills, and facilitate difficult conversations. Additionally, students enrolled in Speech at Dartmouth classes presented speeches to diverse audiences, hone rhetorical skills, and make meaningful connections. 

Rooted in storytelling and the expertise of lived experience, portal connections allow students to connect with artists, activists, teachers, professionals, and fellow students from across the African continent, Latin and South America, the Middle East, and beyond!
