DEN collaborates with multiple top international universities, which include Hanoi University in Vietnam, Kasetsart University in Thailand, Kocaeli and Batman Universities in Turkey, Morgan State University in the USA, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. Students experience firsthand different cultural environments through their fieldwork in Georgia, Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.

The partnerships serve as more than exchange programs because they create active student participation that directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students build essential competencies through their involvement in conferences and workshops and community service activities, which help them tackle SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

DEN will continue to develop its partnerships and opportunities because the organisation aims to support student learning and leadership development for creating an inclusive, sustainable world.
