In 2017, AGIKI students participated in international exhibitions and competitions, such as JUNWEX-2017 in St. Petersburg, and became laureates of the IX International Decorative and Applied Arts Competition. The Wandering Scrolls of Siberia project was presented in countries such as Serbia, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Turkey.

AGIKI cooperates with universities and cultural organizations around the world. For example, a project with the Tromsø Conservatory (Norway) included a creative exchange and concerts by students of the Aar Aartyk ensemble.

AGIKI students and teachers actively participate in international festivals such as the World Youth and Student Festival in Sochi and the World Mouth Harp Festival of India.

AGIKI cooperates with the Universities of Hokkaido (Japan) and Tromsø (Norway), participating in programs aimed at research in the Arctic and the preservation of traditional culture.
